Maybe he thought you were a leprechaun looking for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow which could help him fill in the gaps in the financial budget. m

@Nexus71 What I wrote in the card was "We left-handed Irish-American Democrats who are also Trekkies have to stick together". He's part Irish (on his mom's side of the family).

--------Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night------

Why the left handed stuff I'm left handed as well but not Irish, American ,or Democrat and would consider myself a mild-Trekkie would that have made any difference in the reply or do you think Obama is a closet Trekkie who secretly puts on his Vulcan ears when Michelle is sleeping?

@Nexus71 I don't know about the ears, but President Obama has always been openly Trekkie. In fact, about 3 years ago a writer named James Wolcott did a article in Vanity Fair magazine stating that President Obama was the first Vulcan-American President, and made note of the fact that the President looks a lot like Tim Russ, who played Tuvok in Star Trek: Voyager.

I think playing Pres. Obama is Tim Russ ' best performance or Obama could go to conventions signing autographs pretending to be Tim Russ .

@Nexus71 : That would be very cool!

"A lot of Trekkies think that Gary Seven is the Star Trek equivalent of Doctor Who."

I agree. Particularly there's a Star Trek novel called "THE EUGENICS WARS" where Gary and Roberta defeat Khan Singh, acting very much that the Doctor and a loyal Companion.

Is that the reason that they never did the "Gary Seven" series -- that the British were complaining that the Americans were stealing their idea?

@Nexus71 : If you're talking about the letter I got in return, it said thank you for writing, that he thought that Americans like me (WTF?) were helping the country more than he was.

He was definitely right about that. But then again, he was so inept, how could it NOT be true?

@CharlesTheBold Possibly. The episode he starred in, Assignment :Earth, was one of the most popular episodes of the entire TOS episodes. It was what was called a "back door pilot". Gene Roddenberry (and a lot of Trekkies, including me), were hoping that it would become a separate series. But unfortunately the network TOS was on, NBC, decided not to pick up the show. So although the BBC and Doctor Who fans would probably have complained, I don't think they could have done much about it.

It's quite a contrast. A highly intelligent figure showing humility, compared to an idiotic president who thinks he is a genius.

@CharlesTheBold : If you're talking about President Obama and the lunatic-in-chief, I totally agree!

Where's the evidence that Obama is/was highly intelligent? Just for starters, he never released school transcripts, he claimed foreign status to get preferential college admission at least once, and people who worked on the Harvard Law Review at the same time he was there, don't remember him actually DOING anything.

Now, if you want to say that he's smarter than YOU, that's your option. But even if he's smarter than 99% of people - which I doubt - that would still mean there are several MILLION people just in the US who are smarter than he is, and I'm confident that I am one of them.

It takes a wise man to realise he knows very little

But that doesn't mean you can't know that you know more than someone else. Even if, in universal cosmos terms, that might be "very little."
