Our First Geek President

It was reported during the campaign that President-Elect Obama had read all of the Harry Potter books to his children. Then came the picture of him with his Apple laptop with the Pac Man decal. Finally, it's been reported that he's an avid collector of Spider-Man and Conan comics. Naturally, this caused some Chuck Norris-style riffing among me and some friends of mine. Then it just got out of hand.  This is a partial list of what we came up with.  For more examples, accreditation of specific lines, and future entires, visit the LJ of [info]skyblade , specifically this entry:

Obama staunchy believes the Balrog did not have wings. The Peter Jackson movies are grandfathered in, but he's initiating a statute all new polystone figures have go without them.

Obama has a secret service agent guarding his Boba Fett action figure. But he keeps the extra limited edition one in his safe

Obama thinks Romulans have a cooler language than Klingons.

Obama will only watch costume dramas when he finds out a former Dr. Who was in them.

Obama called the hotline to kill Jason Todd.

Obama complains about X-Files mythology episodes, but those are the ones he tapes.

Obama says Michelle reminds him of Kitty Pryde.

Obama's lj is named after a Kurt Vonnegut reference. He only started reading him after he died, but he feels quoting Terry PRatchett or Douglas Adams was "too obvious"

Cut for length, 'cause there's way more under here. )
