'Jedi mind meld': Obama mixes up Star Wars and Star Trek
President Obama mixed up his sci-fi metaphors while talking about the sequester.
President Obama mixed up his sci-fi metaphors while talking about the sequester.
While talking about the important (and very dull) topic of the looming sequester on Friday, President Barack Obama mixed his sci-fi metaphors, referring to a "Jedi mind meld."
The internet was not amused.
RESPONDED, THEY DID: The White House tweeted from its official Twitter account:
We must bring balance to the Force. #Sequester #JediMindMeld twitter.com/whitehouse/sta…
— The White House (@whitehouse) March 1, 2013
They also seem to created the URL whitehouse.gov/jedimindmeld which takes you to The President's Plan on the sequester.
