Spock + Shaft = Obama

Since Barack Obama came into the political picture, he has reminded me of somebody I looked up to when I was a kid. For a while, I thought he was a combination of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, both sadly and momentously taken away when I eight. But, after more reflection and memory digging, I’ve finally figured out who he really reminds me of. He is Spock and Shaft combined:


That’s illogical. Shut yo mouth.

Since posting this, I see several sites made the Spock comparison some time ago:
- http://henryjenkins.org/2008/06/is_barrack_obama_a_secret_vulc.html
- http://spockjones.blogspot.com/2008/06/obamaspock-08.html
- http://msa4.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/obama-spock-and-the-new-star-trek-nation/

Those are good, but Spock alone does not attain the necessary coolness factor. Shaft’s tough chill completes it.
