Spock was a selfish jerk?

via Free Beacon.

“I loved Spock,” said President Obama, reacting to the death of actor Leonard Nimoy. Why? Because Spock reminds him of himself. The galaxy’s most famous Vulcan, the president wrote, was “Cool, logical, big-eared, and level headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future.” Just like you know whom.
The president is not the only writer who hasdrawn comparisons between himself and Spock. I am also a Star Trek fan, but I admit I was somewhat confused by my rather apathetic reaction to Nimoy’s death. And as I thought more about the president’s statement, I realized he identifies with the very aspects of the Spock character that most annoy me. I don’t love Spock at all.

Just wow.

Now even sci-fi is being invaded by political nonsense!

So what if the President likes Spock.  That's one thing we can agree with..but to take a beloved FICTIONAL character and to do this hatchet job on him because it helps promote a political position is distasteful.

ENOUGH ALREADY!  Everything is polluted with politics...even my beloved Marine Corps.  Can I at least have sci-fi without the taint?
