Obama makes a hash of sci-fi reference, deflating his sequester jab

3/1/2013

President Obama goofed an attempted sci-fi reference today at a press conference discussing Republican refusal to make a sequester deal. The president said he couldn't "do a Jedi mind meld with these folks and convince them to do what's right." Dude: You confused the JEDI MIND TRICK from Star Wars (think Obi Wan Kenobi and “these aren’t the droids you’re looking for”) with the VULCAN MIND MELD from Star Trek (think Mr. Spock splaying his fingers and treating your face like a bowling ball). If you’d made this mistake last summer? Boom: President Romney. [Source]
