Hopefully you guys have already seen/heard about this, but if not:
I was honored to get a chance to meet with Pres Barack Obama today in the White House. He was as charming and handsome as I had expected.

Months ago Pres Obama was quoted as saying that he’d had a crush on me when he was younger. I asked about that & he proudly confirmed it!

President Obama also confirmed for me that he was defintely a Trekker! How wonderful is that?!

Here is a link to Nichelle Nichols' picture with the President.

    For a sec I thought the other younger Uhura....:p

    I was like that's a bit weird younger days? Like how much younger? two years? :D

    Trekker huh? Haven't noticed anything at all that makes him one other than knowing the most basic salute. Well at this rate our gov't will be close to Star Trek's ....

    Take that, Star Wars! We got a president who loves Trek! :D

    (although, there was the Star Wars program during the Cold War...)

    So he wasn't allowed to fight in that... Erm... hexagon office or whatever it's called?
    Just on the lawn? Well then, Star War is still close to 0.
