The President's reference to a 'Jedi mind-meld' had fans buzzing — since the two aren't meant to be paired together: Jedi are from "Star Wars" and mind melds are an occurrence on "Star Trek." NBC's Brian Williams reports.
Welp, you can’t say they don’t move fast.
Hours after President Barack Obama joked about a “Jedi mind meld” to prompt bipartisan compromise on the sequester -- prompting cries of “gaffe!” from sci-fi devotees -- the White House took to Twitter add fuel to the nerdy meme created by the commander in chief.
“We must bring balance to the Force” the official White House Twitter account blasted to its nearly 3.7 million followers.
President Barack Obama discusses his Friday sequester meeting at the White House with Capitol Hill lawmakers, including House Speaker John Boehner.
The tweet included a photo of the president superimposed with the lines “These cuts aren’t the solutions Americans are looking for” and “To deny the facts would be illogical.”
The lines -- references to famous dialogue from Star Wars and Star Trek, respectively -- offered a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement that the president’s joke muddled the two series, and it also serves as a publicity tool for the administration’s website promoting its “solutions” to the sequester.

It should please us that the President is neither a Trekkie nor a Star Warrior.
Do your math!
Or wait, we Americans are not good with math. Forget it.
Those who refuse to work with the President have been labelled GOPigs? That's insulting to us pigs, we pigs are smarter than these uncompromising GOP buffoons..
Happy Pig Day, everybody.
.
Can pigs fly? Well, Maxwell does fly.
At least we pigs used to fly! Have you heard about 'Swine-Flew'?
Or wait...
.
The president probably wishes he was in outer space, instead of having to "walk back" all those scare tactics.
Boehner probably wishes he was in a bar...having his own Mind Meld
LOL
It would please us more if he were a leader. Running away from the WH 3 days before the sequester is NOT leadership.
Pigums ... pigs can and do fly. I offer up a new avatar as proof.
Don't be jealous, my kitty pig (bcwc-blackcatwhitecat): I did see a cat fly once, so you are as talented as us pigs...
Drat and double drat!
From the Trekster movies, can only think of when the Doc was telling about seeing someone on the operation table in the 2oth century. He said "It's barabaric Jim".
USA Forever,
Do you mean like Boehner adjourning the House yesterday and only scheduled to be in Washington 12 days out of the next 39 days?
Pigums, seeing what day it is, I will forsake the sin of jealousy for the sin of gluttony.
You can see that President Obama is so concerned... He has time to create memes.
well...meme ... in the tradition of Soul Music as Soul Food ... resulted from Soul searching on a Soul Train in the best interest of the nation.
Bob-2711464, you've got a problem?
Pigotry:
I've got a big problem with President Obama and Democrats yes.
Anyone but me see that he does have the "radar dishes" to be able to do this?
Let the me bashing begin. You all can call Paul Ryan Eddie Munster and McConell a turtle but when it hits home on your "buddy", just can't take it.
BTW, whatever happened to the Curious George thingy? You libs killed it but then came up with even nastier "placements" of the GOP you don't agree with.
Boehner is still in Washington, he doesn't need the whole house since the President and Senate aren't ready to deal honestly. It takes all parties to negotiate and Obama isn't ready to concede anything.
If I remember right, Boehner and the Republicans offered to close loop holes for the rich in lieu of raising the tax rate on the rich and Obama REFUSED, saying it was raising the tax rate or nothing, so he got his tax rate increase to the tune of around $600 billion. (Still haven't seen any cuts, except for those in the WHs sequester). Now it appears Obama wants those loop hole cuts to even after he got his rate increase.
Also remember the sequester was passed with the support of 2/3ds of Democrats and only 1/3d of Republicans.
Pigotry
Can pigs fly
Beam me up. I'm behind our President. The Piggy Hood is on it's way up.
Happy P. I. G Day to you. Pigotry. Tonight Baby backribs!
May the force be with you.
PS: Happy PIG DAY to you Pigotry...and many many more.
From Charles Pierce:
So Sequestration Day is here. (I found an empty airport terminal under my Sequester tree, and Sequester Santa ate all the cookies I put out for him and left me some tainted meat in return.) And it seems that the House Republicans are dancing in the streets of Pottersville.
The country’s going to hell, but the Republicans now have a fully functioning marionette in the Speaker’s chair. They want him to be a vandal. He’s a vandal. They want him to be butch. He’ll be butch. If they told him to sprawl across a sofa in the Rotunda dressed as Scarlett O’Hara, well, who the hell knows? Maybe he’s got the legs for it. At least he can sleep with both eyes closed for a while.

Happy Sequestergeddon Day Right Wingers!!!

We have a feral pig problem here in our neck of the woods. Think I'll go hunting tonight.
May the force be...where no man has gone before!
While it perhaps should please us that he is not a Trekkie or Star Warrior it would be even more pleasing if he was not a poseur pretending to be one.
We're giving it all she's got Captain.!! She won't hold up much longer..
ozmosis that meat will be stringy and have allot of lard.
Forrest Gump "You have to do the best with what God gave you. And thats all i got to say about Mr. Boehner"
Thanks GOP, because of you, life is easier for the rich and harder for the poor and middle class. 2014, change.
"I got 98% of what I wanted...I'm pretty happy" John Boehner.
Had this been Romney, Bush or Boehner, the headlines would be blaing how "Out of Touch" they were.
But here at NBC they compliment the Administration for "Moving Fast" to try to blow it off.
It's sad that the media can take an inane stupid stroy like this and still manage to show how they are nothing more than a mouthpiece for this administration.
" and it also serves as a publicity tool for the administration’s website promoting its “solutions” to the sequester."
Seems the only Pulicity "Tool" in this story is Carrie Dann.
Christ they even give you an Obama website to go to!
Pathetic,
since we have combined star trek and stat wars, let's see how everybody feels about similair combinations. how about this one: The Democratic Muslim Brotherhood of the Holy Cross for the Advancement of Women and Equality

Keep it up. I'm copying all for my lawyer. Disgusting how people think it's okay to bully, and joke about killing someone. Sick.
Had this been fox news you would not even be able to leave a comment. They don't want readers to hear anything but what they put forth. They don't want the readers to read comments from Democrats that disagree with what they are putting forth as an agenda. Here on NBC we welcome difference of opinion because we know we are not lying to our constituents. We know what time it is and the Republicans 15 minutes are up.
Solution to your problem is do not read any news that is against your views.
Damn it Jim. He's an assclown. Not a president.
Sequester Vote
House Vote: 269-161 with 174 of 240 (73%) Republicans voting for sequester. 95 (50%) of Democrats voted for the Budget Control Act of 2011 which included the sequester plan if the "super committee" couldn't reach a $1.5 Trillion deficit reduction plan by 11/23/2011.
Senate Vote: 74-26 with 28 of 47 Republicans voting for the Budget Control Act of 2011.
Dennis from Ohio - Do you mean like Boehner adjourning the House yesterday and only scheduled to be in Washington 12 days out of the next 39 days?
If anyone of us showed up at our place of business 12 out of 39 days..we'd have a salary deduction OR NO JOB to come back to..president should create executive order to IMMEDIATELY do this...you'd see fast they'd get their a$$e$ back to DC!
Mr. Boehner, the people spoke last November and majority rules it's time to stop sucking your thumb, clutching your blanky..DO THE RIGHT THING and you just may save SOME face.
If Bush made this blunder he would have been the laughing stock of the media and the left. Since Obama made it its simply a silly remark, no big deal.
I hope the stories come out that Obama will cut into programs that affect most Americans and not touch programs that don't, in the hope the American people get frustrated.
I hope the media watches closely and report any wrongdoing to the American public. I doubt fact reporting will happen.
Only Curious George obama could try to blow off his Star Trek/Star Wars F-up as a "publicity tool" for solutions to the sequester.
Seems as though his nation-wide campaign to paint the repubs(though he suggesed it and signed it into law) as the demons of the sequester was merely him publicly P!$$!NG into the wind. Now he's back at the white house taking a shower to clean himself up in private. I wonder how he likes the taste of feathers.
GOP Teabag Stardom comes with pink slips for the middle class !!!
You never know what you're gonna get with the crazy Tea cups in the house !!!
Jo Ann,
Our President and no other person, what-so-ever, can decide where the cuts are made, what programs get funded and which do not. That was part of the law created with the Budget Control Act of 2011.
The cuts are across the board cuts which is why everyone has said that these are dumb cuts.
As General Ray Odierno said yesterday on "Morning Joe" and "CBS This Morning" under sequestration he is not allowed to move funds around in FY13.
Starbuck and Dennis - You can spin it anyway you want with individual voting counts. Don't mean anything, the Senate is controlled by the Democrats & we have a Democrat in the White House, the House is controlled by Republicans. Therefore, 2/3ds of the sequester was the responsibility of the Democrats, the Senate or the WH could have stopped it anytime. We know the sequester came from the WH in the first place.
Also our President said it was not his responsibility to make the cuts and he did not want the authority to make the cuts. What kind of leadership is that? I would call it a total lack of leadership.
embrace - v. tr. - to grasp or hold close, usually as an expression of affection
Only this white house could tell the people the white house loves it when they "F" up.
Senate Sequester Replacement Bills
Senate Republicans proposed a Sequester Replacement bill that even 9 Republican Senators voted against that would give our President unprecedented power to decide where to cut spending. Republican Senators that voted against the bill didn't want to set a precedent that gave that power to the Whitehouse.
Why would Congress ever give that power to the Executive Office?
It's called the "Blame Game". Republicans know these cuts over time (regardless where they are made) will be felt by many people so when citizens start to complain Republicans would be able to point fingers at our President saying He is the one who decided what and where to cut … blame him.
Nice political idea but … Fail
Senate Democrats proposed a Sequester Replacement bill that included smaller spending cuts and new tax revenues and it was filibustered by Republicans.
49 million Americans on food stamps
8% unemployment
15% real unemployment
16.7 trillion dollar debt
The least transparent administration at LEAST since Nixon.
And a complicit media who fawns all over this economic illiterate.
AND *THIS* is a news story???????????
F minus -American journalists. You're a d*mn disgrace.
The President stated he would veto a bill giving him the authority to make the cuts if passed. So there was 9 Republican Senators who voted against, so how many Democrats voted against it? It appears the Senate had 91 members who voted for it. Of course Republicans, and rightly so, would filibuster a bill for smaller spending cuts and new taxes. They just gave the President his tax rate increase that he wanted.
Of course it's the BLAME GAME, the President has been doing it every since he has been in the White House. He is on his SECOND term and it is time he accepts responsibility and quit DEMANDING that he is entitled to all of his ideas
As far as giving him the authority to make the cuts, it would be for the $85 billion only and would not pertain to any spending bills in the future. BTW, the President would not make the cuts personally, he would delegate it to the Departments, I am sure they could find a lot of places to cut without to many problems.
LOL brenda...
I guess you have already forgotten about all of obamas rich supporters as well as all those Hollywood types. I wonder if warren buffet will lead the way in donating the $$$'s necessary to solve the federal governments near insane willingness to spend OPM. That is what you think isn't it, the wealthy can solve our economic issues?
Best check your tax form also since the treasury department has no qualms about accepting donations?
As a Concerned American Citizen, of course I donate to the treasury department. I give 2% of my tax return. Question is, why don't you? Since you voted in Boehner and his flunky Republican friends, you are mostly responsible for the mess we are in today. You being a Republican though means you will not help out anyone, it is against your code, so you will keep your tax return for yourself.
Running away from the WH 3 days before the sequester is NOT leadership.
What? Guess you did not see the House leave long before that with Bonhead in the lead to be first to the bar...
BTW thats the way Jedis make people do what they want to do so he was correct in the statement after all. What he was saying is you cannot mind meld with an idiot like a Republican and thats true. The one you could are so fearful of that lobbyist they cannot dare to speak up anymore and have left that part so far to the right they will end up being leftists in a few years.
Um, hate to say it, but Wrong again, Mr. President.

The line from Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Menace is relevant: “We should not have made this bargain—now there are TWO of them…” referring to the elusive Sith, much like the generations of Marxists who have blinded the American public to THEIR murderous history and subversion by stealth. The grandchildren of Marx, the children of Saul Alinsky, who now run the White House and the Demmunist Party need a better sci-fi (and reality) consultant. We are now well into Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, with the Supreme Chancellor having been elected, and the Grand Republic rapidly becoming the Evil Empire. The Chancellor merely needs to declare himself, very likely by Executive Order, Emperor for Life. Or will that be a job for Hillary (next Chancellor-wannabe), who already looks suspiciously like Emperor Palpatine? She just needs the Cowl and the "Dark Side" Force Lightning coming out of her fingertips...
Presidential signature
President Obama signed the bill shortly after it was passed by the Senate. In doing so, the president said, "Is this the deal I would have preferred? No. But this compromise does make a serious down payment on the deficit reduction we need, and gives each party a strong incentive to get a balanced plan done before the end of the year." This is what the President said after signing the Budget Control Act (Sequester).
Also, Harry Reid voted against the Democrats sequester replacement bill. So, they weren't serious about it.
On the one hand Obama says he is not a dictator, which is true, but on the other hand he wishes he could do a mind meld on all the Repubs, so they would think exactly the way he does. And isn't that what all dictators want, for every one to think exactly like they do? No questions asked, no compromise, just mind numbing adherence to their point of view?
Mr. Obama, a slot my soon be opening in Venezuela.
Obama's utopia is in a galaxy far, far away where it belongs. Maybe Scottie can beam him up nad take him there so we can get on with the business of reality.
I want to see the Republican party to succeed, and the way to succession is by making compromises ...willing to work with the President. But wait, I think some of the key GOP constituents are too blind to support their representatives in Congress. Puzzle solved.
Oh Pig, i'm going to be nice to you today and vote that comment up!

Pig is a liar. She stated we annually give 100 billion dollars to oil subsidies.
Actually Oil, Natural gas and coal combined get 2 and a half billion.
Pig fail.
it's a fact that hundreds of billions of dollars of tax breaks have been given to corporations, including Big Oil that doesn't really need the government handout. The conclusion is the same, even though there was a typo in my earlier post in another stream.
And that is worse than the hundreds of billions that have been doled out to entitlers that don'treally need the governement handout? Remember, there is a difference between need and want.
Hey thinker-318752...the federal government must be forced to pay back with interest the money stolen from the Social Security trust fund. I wish I could understand why so many Americans believe that Social Security and Medicare should be cut. And although I know this country must have compassion for those in need for "legitimate" reasons...Medicaid as we know it today needs to be thrown out a window and a formula for regulation developed to keep the able bodied working and those less fortunate off the streets living in boxes. And I can't even begin to express my feelings concerning the treatment of veterans in this country...but that's another multi-episode TV special.
Increasing taxes across the board for those in the top 2% wealth bracket is a no brainer. And isn't it illegal to deposit funds in off shore accounts to avoid paying taxes? Why the hell isn't Mitt Romney in jail?
Most of what the right wing teabags want to see happen hurts the middle to lower class American, but doesn't touch them. I pray that our President will stand his ground on cuts to the trust accounts of our retired seniors. No cuts to the social programs that benefit the truly needy, but DO get those programs overhauled to help only those with a legitimate need.
dnon46....
Relax, Jack lew had funds in the cayman islands as well.
Sorry guy, there is no law making it illegal to have funds deposited in any other country. If you think romney and Lew did something illegal why not report them to the IRS and get your whistleblowers reward?
By the way, how do you define "truly needy"?
I would guess not since there are more than just Mitt with off shore accounts. If it were illegal the IRS would be all over them. If I had that kind of money I would use every strategy to my advantage also. Congress (includes all parties) has deemed it legal to use.
As for "those with a legitimate need" - does legitimate need include those who have never worked a day in their lives since they learned to work the welfare/food stamp system and willingly accept their low standard of living?
As a veteran myself I understand your position about how they are treated like cheap whores and cast to the streets when they have outlived their usefulness. However, I don't understand how the military treating its members poorly becomes the burden of the wealthy. If the veterans deserve better treatment the onus is on the DoD not the large and small business owners. How about going after the military for compensation and entitlements?
Social programs were meant to be temporary help not a way of life.
re: # 2.9,2.10,2.11,
Tax EVASION is illegal
Tax AVOIDANCE is legal, as are foreign bank accounts.
Um, Pigotry, succession or SEcession?
LOVE the moniker, by the way. One word accusation that says it all. ANYONE who disagrees with you or the President is a PIG and a BIGOT.

I grew up on the Star Wars films and I was pretty sure there was no such thing as a Jedi Mind Meld. Thankfully, I have never been a Trekkie! ;-)
Frank - Well if JJ Abrams can direct the 2009 Star Trek reboot and now the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII then Obama can mix a Jedi Mind trick with a Vulcan mind meld.
Frankly I'm surprised sometimes that Obama doesn't administer a Vulcan nerve pinch on Boehner.
As someone once said, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one."
Too bad the GOP in their need to politically beat one person (Obama) they are punishing many (the rest of us).
I think your right Frank, I think the president misspoke, it was a Vulcan mind meld. But hey, he made his point, he can only suggest, and he can pull for, but he can't make Boner drink, he does that enough on his own.
The President spoke correctly. He knows full well that it would take both famous Martial Disciplines to have a chance at getting Republicans to actually DO anything.
These are not the spending cuts you are looking for!
SUIII spoke correctly... and so did O. It was meant to be nonsensical, just like tea "logic".
Sane Central: Your analysis and intelligent interpretation of irony is lost on the baggers. They only see black & white; subtlety & nuance are lost on them. Hilarious how this actually has become a News item! So sad to witness the dumbing down in action.
Obama lives in a fantasy world, Star Wars fantasy fits him well.
Tae Kwon Do?
Karate?
Judo?
Jiu Jitsu?
It's even worse when the prez is so partisan that he publicly campaigns against a program that he publicly suggested and signed into law and then tries to push onto his opposing party. There were enough democrats that supported the bill that obama (D-IL) made it a law.
In fact the world supported the start of seuestration enough that the stock market actually climbed despite the Little Chicken's cries of gloom and doom.
The media is praying for a cruise ship to sink or a criminal to go on a shooting spree, something they know how to report on, not this sequester business, which is just too abstract, and gosh darn it, too hard to film.
That's right. They are looking for ways to deflect the heat. Just look at their headlines for this article.
Now obama is pushing for sequestration after he was against sequestration that he pushed for (proposed and signed into law).
From Rick Derringers All American Boy
Teenage Love Affair, it's a teeanage love affair
lmao
May the force let our Prez live long and prosper. ;-)
You mean farce, of course
A mind meld is a mind meld, so ... ... ... ... after the fact it is still a mind meld.
Spock meet Darth Boehner, may the farce continue, as it has, and let the reruns rerun, with new advertisements.
What by contrary argument would be the reverse of a mind meld? Or do we have that defined as the current mind of Congress?
Mind puree, blender set to low?
On a scale of 0 -140 the averaged Congress IQ it would come to 0.25.
At least it's above Obama's
P.S. I see you also talk to yourself
I can see you're going for the vaunted "I know you are but what am I?" defense.
Perhaps you should try something a little more effective next time. Perhaps "Nanny nanny boo boo?"
It's a side effect of a mind meld, there has to be intelligence on both sides of a question.
I'm surprised that Obama mixed up his Star Wars reference considering he's married to a Wookie.
Really? Thought she was the twin of Jabba the Hut
That's a lot of NAIR.
Marcos Anderson: What has your dumb comment about the First Lady have to do with the article?
I will never get why some Star Wars fans hate Star Trek and vise versa. They are both awesome and I approve of the President's melding of them lol.
Forget mind meld, the Tea Party mind f#@ked the republican party. Now we're all paying the price.
Less than 1% off a cut in spending and not a decrease but a
a reduction in projected spending?
You owe $160 dollars and you can't save 15 cents?
Quick! Someone send the White House the Star Wars series and then the complete Star Trek videos. It should only take him four years to learn the distinction between Jedi and Vulcans. I think.
Republicans - May the farce be with you. Oh wait. It already is. It's called Congress.
Grey - about 20 references too late.
This meme as the NBC news is calling it in light tone proves the point how out of touch with US culture is this president who is the darling of the Media.
2.3% cuts across the board, this is not what republicans wanted back in 2011 it was Mr. Obama's White House which made this condition, he has free hand to decide which cuts can be made, he does not want to be blamed for the mess of his own creation and want to blame it on others.
When will the liberals wake-up see this made-up guy.
As opposed to a man who had a plastic wife? Romney's wife had more Silacon the southern California!
Or how about a Republican front-runner who went out and bought a Chevy truck to "arrive" at polictical appearances? Republicans KNOW all about made-up fake people since that is ALL their party is made up of.

He's retarded in all 57 states.

...read the teleprompter! read the teleprompter! read the teleprompter! read the teleprompter!
If his gaffe had not been live, it would have been edited out. Like ABC did with Michelle's error about the Chicago shooting. Michelle's error was perfectly understandable, but it was still edited.
Anything to protect the untouchables.
Ironically enough, the Star Wars Expanded Universe books describe basically a Jedi mind meld. So he is either confused with references or an over the top SW fan.
He so funny what a great joke! Of course had a conservative said it this would have been proof of their idiocy. He funny, just wish he didn't have control of so much of America's money. Funny guys aren't particularily good money managers as we've seen.
While he is making jokes... we are going down the rat hole. Maybe a bit of serious dialog Mr. Prez??
Jen a joke is needed sometimes, stop being so critcal and lighten up.
Jen, how much energy does it take to just be angry all the time????? The right is going nuts, spitting and writhing in anger and frustration, stocking up on guns and rifles for their upcoming war. Geez, let's open the asylums that Ronnie closed, let's avoid another mass shooting. Let's get you all some help.
Arrive-1, Can't speak for Jen, but your making light of conservatives seems less than charitable, fair, and "open-minded" of you. You forgot to use the label HATER on your fellow Americans YOU HATE, like anyone who didn't vote for the President or anyone who has a different view.
.
Anger? More like the sadness of watching someone you love being ravaged by cancer. Not much you can do but pray for a miracle. I lost my mom when she was 41 that way. I was 15.
.
So is it 1933 Germany all over again or is it just me?
.
Can't wait to see what "Organizing for America," the SEIU, Organized Labor, Occupy, Anonymous and the rest of the Left's Brownshirts can come up with on behalf of the Supreme Chancellor. Bustin' heads, breaking windows, and burning books just wasn't enough.
.
DHS stockpiling billions of hollow-point rounds, banning guns, shredding the Constitution, controlling the Internet--Kristallnacht can't be that far away...
Tuvok Obama!
Obama, you made a deal and then you reneged. "Bust a deal, face the wheel" - seems more fitting.
There were more republicans that voted for the sequester than democrats. They got what they voted for.
Starbuck you are an idiot with the same cut and paste crap! Blame them all as they all should get that credit.
Obama signed the bill into law and EVERYONE knew what was in it. But lets take it a step further. Obama created yet another committe to work on the cuts, both Dems and Repubs. They failed to do so. Now how many times did you see our president attempt to work with them?
I dont care what political party anyone belongs to, but for DEMS and hardcore LIBS how can you honestly sit back and say yeah Obama really wants to reduce spending? And if you honestly believe that, please give very specific cuts that he has proposed. I don't want to hear generalizations of cuts be specific.
Obama is not a good leader...Period...
The first 4 years were Bushs fault. Now he is moving onto the its the GOP's fault. (Even though he doesnt want to play the blame game) I almost wish the Democrats controlled everything and during the failure of that time, who could he blame then?
Anti-American, Muslim brotherhood, treasonist pigs apparently aren't into Star Wars.
One of the few times a President has made a mistake...
No wonder the righties hate him...
We should tell the conspiracy crazies he did it deliberately.

At least he KNOWS the movies!! I bet not ONE of the Rich White OLD FARTS in the Republican Party would even know what a Jedi was. They probably think is in a new TOP SHELF Scotch, or a new travel destination that the lobbiests are going to be sending them to on a "fact" finding trip!!
