Obama is like Spock

[Spike88]

Wait what.
According to this article: http://www.slate.com/id/2218596/?GT1=38001
President Obama is just like Spock in the way he handles things.

President Obama has seen the new Star Trek movie. "Everybody was saying I was Spock, so I figured I should check it out," he told Newsweek, making the Vulcan salute with his hand. Some critics will see this as a new opportunity to question his citizenship. I think it can help them understand Obama's views about the law.

And in the words of a wise commenter:

And there's a very good reason for this. Spock's adherence to logic was a flaw, not a virtue. He was unable to accept the uncertainties of the universe and adapt to it - you'll notice that when he is put in charge of something (such as the Romulan Peace Treaty), he inevitably screwed it up because of this limitation.
Kirk may not have been 'coldly logical', but he was an effective leader precisely because he understood the limitations of logic. While a rational person, he was also able to operate based on his experience and intuition to actually solve problems.
