Very nicely put.
I'd be curious who would be more annoyed by it.  My guess would be tea partiers.  They seem to be the anti-Vulcans in attitude.

Irony: the IDIC medal was thrown into that episode at the last minute by Roddenberry purely for the sake of using Spock's character to market the medals, which he thought would sell like hotcakes for his own profit. The cast, especially Nimoy, resented the attempt but made the best of it under the circumstances. (Per Shatner in his Star Trek Memories.)

Can't say I find Obama to be much like Spock at all; but admittedly no one else in our political system comes to mind either. Maybe Ron Paul or Ross Perot...?  ??? :-\

Still, good article, and congrats on being published there!
