[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hejtWJ02528[/media] President Obama might be urging cooperation between Democrats and Republicans on the sequester. But the only things that seems to be mixing at the moment are metaphors. During his news conference Friday, Obama spoke of achieving a “Jedi mind meld.” That phrase, which he uttered during extemporaneous (read: no prompter or script) remarks during the question-and-answer portion of the newser, appears to combine elements from two distinct sci-fi worlds.

Better luck next time.
:suicide:
Well, can't Jedi do mind melds? :v:
I have a feeling that he was using it more as a figure of speech than a reference.
Damn socialist. If he can't get Star Wars right, then how can we expect him to get America right?!
[QUOTE=its shortie;39762735]:suicide:[/QUOTE] That melds your mind.

I think he started saying it, and then realized he didn't want to call it a mind trick, because that makes it sound a lot worse. It looked like he hesitated a lot right before he said meld.

i feel like if you listen to the president speak and all you care about his reference to a star wars movie you're focusing on the wrong part of what is actually going on. you might as well go to a puppet show and watch the strings
Actually, I think Dark Vaper, the dude with the asthma can do a mind meld.
wtf obamba?!! shouldve voted romney!!
Impeach this retarded communist.
thanks lucas
Jedi Mind-Meld? I don't think Jedi are into Asari. Or Vulcans. Whatever.
Luke, I'm your brotha from anotha motha
Isn't a Jedi Mind Meld suppose to be worse than a mind trick? They did that to [sp]Darth Revan[/sp], even thought it was permanent in the long run.
I don't think Obama is aware of KoTOR lore, so I doubt he knew who Revan was.
Jedi mind meld is a good hip hop duo

Live long and may the force be with you.
Not to impressed with the president cracking Trek Wars jokes while our incompetent Congress can't agree on anything but "Yes! Let's tank the economy again!"
[QUOTE=TTSDA;39763098]*should of[/QUOTE] You just tried to correct a joke post with the wrong correction. Great job.
