Um. I think there are many good things about him and he's a lot better than I would normally expect of a President, but I think it's a mistake to elevate any politician to quite that level. There's no way to become POTUS without doing quite a lot of ...questionable things, and Obama has done plenty.
At risk of geeking (who am I kidding) - if Obama is A New Hope, perhaps he should be using Luke's lightsaber (per his plastic counterpart) rather than QGJ's?
"At the risk of geeking" - you're worried that your comment might be in danger of straying across the border into the territory of geekdom? That seems unlikely, seeing as it was born in the centre of the capital of the Republic of Geekery!
