People smacked him in the chops for his mixed scifi metaphor, so he makes fun of himself by making yet another one.

It's a classy tongue-in-cheek response.

Actually, if it was planned, it's fucking brilliant. Had he not mixed the metaphors there wouldn't be the buzz that they are getting from his remarks.

So he's trying to unite the Star Wars and Star Trek fans. If he manages to pull this off, maybe he'll get Firefly back on tv!

What do you think a Tribble would do around Republiklingons?

Probably explode. Poor Tribbles.

And reading the difference sites is funny as hell. Even "Spock" tweeted and it is funny. Pres O is gonna get a lot of traction for this and hopefully open up more constructive dialog for what the GOPpers are seriously trying to do. . .fuck up the country!

I'm guessing he'll come on right at the end like he did last time he was on that show.
