Asked why he didn't just refuse to let congressional leaders leave the room until they had a deal, Obama told reporters: "I am not a dictator. I'm the president. So, ultimately, if (Senate Republican leader) Mitch McConnell or (Republican House of Representatives Speaker) John Boehner say, 'We need to go to catch a plane,' I can't have Secret Service block the doorway, right?" Pressed on whether he was showing enough leadership - something Republicans say he has been lacking in the fiscal showdown - Obama mixed up his sci-fi references but made his point, nonetheless. "I'm presenting a fair deal. The fact that they don't take it means that I should somehow do a 'Jedi mind-meld' with these folks and convince them to do what's right," he said, while offering no new ideas for resolving the bitter dispute. |
How can I even trust the president of the USA#1 when he can't even keep straight two entirely separate universes?
Jedi mind TRICK is Star Wars*
Mind-meld is Star Trek (see: Vulcans)
This will clearly hurt Obama's chances in negotiations regarding sequestration and the debt limit.
How has your opinion of Obama changed given this costly blunder?
*I'm not responsible for any AU works in the last few years that have added a Force mind meld, I haven't kept up on it.
