Obama to NASA: I want to know about Martians right away

Wasn't Obama supposed to have already gone to Mars through some jump gate technology when he was younger but under a different name? Barry?

Well yeah, but Curiosity landed in a different location, and on the other side of the planet.
(it's a big place ya know)

Barry just isn't sure whether or not there is a different Martian Race, around the area where Curiosity landed.

Ah yes, there's the red-skinned people of Barsoom:

Red Martians
The Red Martians are the dominant culture on Barsoom. They are organized into a system of imperial city-states including Helium, Ptarth, and Zodanga, controlling the planetary canal system, as well as other, more isolated city-states in the hinterlands. The Red Martians are the interbred descendants of the ancient Yellow Martians, White Martians, and Black Martians, remnants of which exist in isolated areas of the planet, particularly the poles. The Red Martians are said in A Princess of Mars to have been bred when the seas of Barsoom began to dry up, in hopes of creating a hardy race to survive in the new environment.

And then there's also the Greens:

The Green Martians are fifteen feet tall (males) and twelve feet tall (females), have four arms and eyes mounted at the side of their heads. They are nomadic, warlike and barbaric, do not form families, have little concept of friendship or love and enjoy inflicting torture upon their victims. Their social structure is highly communal and rigidly hierarchical, consisting of various levels of chiefs, with the highest office of Jeddak obtained by mortal combat.

Not to mention all the other various sorts that seem to pop up from time to time.

Oh, my, and that's only what Edgar Rice Burroughs knows.

Ray Bradbury has them sailing around in sand barges, ... and well, the list can probably go on for hours.

This is beyond idiotic.

The President is basically mocking the UFO community.

Not that I don't think there isn't any mocking to be had to a certain extent. But it's in the end, a lame joke.

This sort of thing should not constitute news, or make headlines...it's just silly.

I think you are over-reacting.

He was making a serious and valid point -- albeit he did so with a little joke (Obama has a sjarp sense of humor). That serious and valid point he was making is that if like is ever found in our solar system (even microbes) whether it be on Mars, Titan, Europa, Enceladus, or elsewhere, that would be a momentous occasion.

Uh... No.
It obviously is not a joke. (or only a joke if you are the sort of religious fundamentalist that "pooh poohs" the whole idea of ET life.)

Your comment is silly. Obama's is simply a statement that the POTUS has (at least in his mind) a "right to know" about any discoveries that NASA should find, particularly the discovery of ET life.

Have you got a problem with that?

The Question is, Can Martians be Taxed? I think Not.
Q: What's the difference between NASA and Obama?
A: NASA sent a rover to explore Mars. Obama sent a taxing probe to Uranus.

Obviously another Republican who can't stop thinking about "Uranus"...

Probably wants to make them legal citizens of the US, so our tax dollars can go to support them.

BTW- that blueberry pic looks EXACTLY like there's water in it.... Up top, yet.

Your comment hints of a bias against Obama. True?

This time NASA must release some... NEWS on Martian Life... otherwise....

Cuts at budget are right around the corner!









A little personal help for NASA boffins.

Good point, if all things are as we are being sold, there's no reason to waste time. If they announce a "discovery of life" on Mars during Obama's presidency... you can fill in the blanks as they may appear from his corner.

No he is not. He is underlining that this is important to him.

The only reason he would mock the ufo community is as president he would know that ufo and aliens do not exist.

But that was not what he was doing

What devastation?

all we've happen to find was frozen water on Mars

Maybe not , here's an image that is believed to show that liquid water does appear on the surface of Mars at certain time of the year ,

Plus there may be liquid water under ground in cave systems similar to Earth , we can but guess at what might be down there .

edit on 13-8-2012 by gortex because: (no reason given)

Nice one, Gortex- a sensible answer. Interesting pics- seem to remember another with some sort of liquid pouring down the inside of a crater from time to time before drying up.

The Martian president has demanded to see everything the M.I.A. ( Martian Intelligence Agency) has on whether or not Obama was born in Hawaii.

I think I see a perfect opportunity for a new "birther" movement. Paul Ryan could demand that President Obama prove that he is in fact, a human being and not an "illegal alien".

Such theories demand exact proof. So .... where does the DNA sample come from and who gets to wield the axe?

A puppet in office is a puppet in office, doesn't really matter what his name is .

No. He's making a joke.

You don't need a reason to make a lame joke about aliens. You just have to be lame enough to make a joke.

It's easy to make that determination if you're not a big fan of the guy to begin with. That explains all the silly and distasteful jokes in this thread.

Even so, the POTUS has to have at least some knowledge of what goes on, even if it's not much.

I had asked if you had a bias against Obama. Is that a "Yes"?

reply to post by Contraposition


No, it's not.

I would have said the same thing, whether it was George, or Obama, or Clinton or whoever was in office at the time.

I highly doubt the President would even have the required security clearance to know about all the stuff that goes on at the 'black' level of government, R&D and the alien stuff.
