How could you NOT like this guy?

This man likes Star Trek. I can end this post right now and that should be enough.

Obama. Black man running for President of the United States. Majorly awesome but meh.

Obama. Human who loves the internet, tech, sci-fi, comic books.

Internet.

The campaign is the thing that sold me on Obama. During the campaign, his website was not stale and useless. He even had his own branded social network. I found it useful for finding others that were excited about his campaign. His campaign didn’t hesitate to use Twitter, Facebook and MySpace. Obama’s YouTube and Flickr account were invaluable for visually keeping up with this historic journey. It promoted a sense of transparency and excitement for his campaign. I loved when the mobile site was first released so that I could keep up with everything via my BlackBerry. The most exciting moment for me is when Obama revealed Joe Biden as is Vice-President via text message! (Yes, I kept and captured the text message from my BlackBerry!)

Tech.

The fight for Obama to keep his BlackBerry is hilarious. Anyone that uses a smart phone to organize their and communicate with friends and loved ones know how such convenience is hard to give up. He is an example to the country to get their act together and communicate like 21st century people should.

Obama will be the first President to have a Chief Technology Officer. Can’t ever say Obama didn’t create at least one tech job.

I wonder if I can become a lobbyist for the flying car?

Science Fiction.

Who runs around flashing the Vulcan hand-sign for live long and prosper and told his wife that her belt buckle was studded with Star Trek-powering dilithium crystals? Our new commander-in-cheif, that’s who!

Comic Books.

He only read Spiderman and Conan the Barbarian comic books as a kid but I’ll give him credit for it anyway. I’m not big on comic books so just an admission of him having read any comic books in his youth is enough for me.
