President Obama and Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols throw up the Vulcan "live long and prosper" sign, pleasing geeks and trekkies everywhere. (Click to Enlarge)I can't tell you enough how much this picture pleases me, President Barack Obama and Star Trek: The Original Series actress Nichelle Nichols, aka "Lt. Uhura." Uhura was great. (Even though she annoying often got stuck answering the phone in space.) But Nichelle Nichols was even better, being among the few to break the TV interracial sexy-times barrier when she kissed co-star William Shatner, aka Captain James T. Kirk.
This photo was taken back in February and Nichols recently shared it with fans on her Twitter feed.

What do you do when you have a popular First Lady and a re-election campaign getting ready to kick off? Well, you send out Michelle Obama and wait for the magic to happen. Naturally, the White House documented that "magic" with some nice photography. Mrs. O blended her typical First Lady duties with some camera-ready moments earlier this year.
More photos after the jump.

Last night as results rolled in from GOP races in Alabama, Mississippi and Hawaii, current Commander-In-Chief Barack Obama was busy hot dogging his way through some March Madness, taking UK Prime Minister David Cameron to a basketball game. It was essentially the most high powered form of a play date you could ever have.
But while other heads of state were chowing down and discussing their sports of choice -- the GOP continued its quixotic and often demoralizing race to find out who gets to go up against Obama in the fall.
I've always been fascinated in the disconnect between those enraged with President Obama versus his typically much more moderate or typical responses. They see some foaming at the mouth radical, tossing around handouts and sending out assassination squads and I just see this ...
As if that's a bad thing.
Rick Santorum, college graduate and presidential candidate, recently argued that Barack Obama, college graduate and current president of the United States, was a "snob" because he wanted all Americans to have the opportunity to go to college. Santorum argued that this seemingly benign thing had malevolent intent because college is the place Liberals are made -- or something. Ignoring the fact that pretty much everyone running for president, including himself, went to college, and in the case of the GOP candidates, somehow they all went to college and weren't turned into sodomites and radical black leftists. Nope. They went to college and are still their same obnoxious, narcissistic selves. Because, as you know, college is a place where you get an education, not a "re-education."

During the 2008 campaign we were inundated in any and everything Barack Obama. From dolls (both cute and scary) to music (both good and Black Eye Peas bad), to tacky velvet paintings of Obama, MLK and Malcolm X while Jesus looks on them from Civil Rights Heaven. While Obama-mania is unlikely to strike twice, he's still an iconic and historic figure (that's what you get when you're the first of something), worth immortalizing in weird ways. In my first "When Obama Love Goes Wrong/Extreme Obama/LOL Obama" of 2012, I now announce the president's re-election campaign in full swing. I give you -- Obama Hulk. He HULK SMASHES Republicans. You wouldn't like him when he is angry. (Via Animal NY)

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's finger found her way into President Obama's face Wednesday when he stopped in the great state of sunning seniors and low allergens to do "presidential stuff." But another day, another indignity from people who act like it's the hardest thing ever to respect the office even if you don't like the man.
