Is Obama from Mars or Just Light Years Ahead
James DuganDoes Obama believe in aliens? In the latest scientific study Aliens Among Us, there is a twenty percent chance he does. And by his latest admission, Obama explores Mars, he is certainly changing the trajectory of NASA and space exploration for the next twenty years. So to take this lunch to places we have never gone before, this post is dedicated to the universe, our place in it, and whether when we reach out to touch someone, there will be someone waiting for us. (Wait, that is like ninety percent of the blogs.)
The first article states that many humans believe there are aliens living in the world. Whether the field study meant Mexicans in the interview sessions along the Arizona border or the Indians were referring to the foreigners in Kashmir, the study fails to elaborate. But the study does pose interesting ideas on how humanity views itself. Humanity does not have a good opinion of its present or future control. Clearly humanity has been blessed with the notion that it takes a society to live in happiness, but at least twenty percent of the world thinks that the benefits or disasters in society may be caused by something other than human. Our proclivity to believe in gods and religion would pronounce this study a success because of our low self human esteem. Our willingness to pass the blame or sing the praises for actions would support the idea that aliens are here. With all the different cultures and behaviors that inhabit this planet, maybe we can unite by blaming all the bad stuff on foreigners, and this explicitly means out of planeters.
So has Obama decided to take on the aliens, to attack their patriotism of their home planets (specifically Martians, sorry H.G.), and root them out of hiding as we start to exploit their world, instead of vice versa? Is he trying to create a common enemy and goal that all humanity can get behind and prove Limbaugh’s term New World Order actually true? Or perhaps his place of birth was not on an isolated island in the middle of the Pacific, but closer to Superman’s than our own? Whether you decide on a, b, c or come up with d, e, f; we have to decide if Mars is really the place we want to spend our golden years, let alone our golden coins.
The Moon goal of Bush and NASA was nice and safe. It held nostalgia of the first great success of America’s space goal. It seemed logical to explore and inhabit the closest rock to our own in the universe and gave us a sense that perhaps Moon living would lead to many scientific innovations to improve our world. It would make all those trips to the Space Station seem pertinent and offer the ideal that we could peacefully inhabit a new place. Plus my favorite, it would have proven that the lady down the block from me as a kid that said we would be spending our vacations going to the moon someday was actually not crazy. We could use the Moon as a permanent base to explore potent fuels, reproduce in space, and provide an alternative living space if Al Gore is actually right. The Moon could hold our trash, become a prison, a quarantine hospital or a colony of the bravest explorers. The Moon was our friend since childhood as it didn’t seem such an illogical leap that we could be with the Man in the Moon soon. But President Obama has bigger plans.
Forget small steps, President Obama is going to have us on Mars by 2030. With a little help of the Democratic majority, he will also be President still. I do not see the point of us going to Mars before the moon. That is like feeding strangers before your own family at your wedding. (Don’t ask me why strangers would be at your wedding) But Obama is not a man of small vision, and if he has to make a decision, he will amaze some of us with his idealism and alienate the rest of us with his lack of common sense. It is a bit Martian to want to go to Mars, since most of the residents came here in 1940s and seems utterly deserted, inhospitable, and red. But maybe it was just a sign to the Hawks in Congress that he would not cut the Pentagon’s budget for this year.
One can only conclude that Obama’s determination to get to Mars by the time he is eighty can only mean one thing: he is an alien from Mars who wants to retire at home. This will ease the mind of many Americans who believed that Obama was going to destroy America with his liberal policies. He is not. In fact, he is going to move us all to Mars where healthcare is free, there are no nuclear weapons, and we can finally be free of the real aliens and threat to America: the Mexicans.

Great piece! As far as I know though, we've already reached Mars, and another alien American political leader, Arnold, was the first to portray this possibility to us in his 1990 documentary Total Recall.
Thank you for enlightening me! As a proud Republican, I can honestly say that everything now makes total sense! And to some degree I absolutely agree with him. There ARE aliens among us....(some IN Congress!). But I don't think it's likely he'll still be President in 2030. He might not even make it to 2012! You know what they say: men are from Mars, women are from Venus...
I always knew you were a birther! But regardless of Obama's origins, this is just a political stunt that every president since Kennedy has to do. He touts interplanetary travel in one breath and then cancels the space shuttles in the next. Makes about as much sense as dehydrated space ice cream.
