After a National Geographic Channel poll revealed that 65% of Americans believe that Barack Obama would be better suited to handle and alien invasion than Mitt Romney, we were curious hear what SodaHeads had to say about the issue.
When analyzing National Geographic’s results, Erik Hayden of TIME NewsFeed was quick to point out that both candidates are well-versed in science fiction.
“Romney . . . enjoyed Star Trek on TV (though reportedly doesn’t consider himself a Trekkie), likes Star Wars, is a fan of Battlefield Earth (the book, if you please) and says Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game is one of his favorites, according to a Politico profile earlier this year.”
He added, “Obama is no sci-fi slouch either, having given nods to both Star Wars and Star Trek while in office. Well-versed in the ways of the Force, he’s been spotted on the White House lawn jousting with a Jedi lightsaber. He’s also flashed Star Trek’s Vulcan salute in the Oval Office when he posed for a photo with the show’s Nichelle Nichols earlier this year.”
Hayden also pointed out that this is one time when Obama’s analytical Spock-like demeanor—something he’s tried to downplay in the past—may actually be working for him.
So what do you think SodaHeads? Which presidential candidate is better suited to handle an alien invasion?

Jesus loves OBAMA.
But then again, he would almost certainly BOW to them, which might very well be the supreme insult to the aliens, thereby getting himself zapped by their disintegrating weapons. To which I would react by saying...WAY TO GO ALIENS!!!
"In theory, community organizing provides a way to merge various strategies for neighborhood empowerment. Organizing begins with the premise that (1) the proble ms facing inner-city communities do not result from a lack of effective solutions, but from a lack of power to implement these solutions; (2) that the only way for communities to build long-term power is by organizing people and money around a common vision; and (3) that a viable organization can only be achieved if a broadly based indigenous leadership — and not one or two charismatic leaders — can knit together the diverse interests of their local institutions.
This means bringing together churches, block clubs, parent groups and any other institutions in a given community to pay dues, hire organizers, conduct research, develop leadership, hold rallies and education campaigns, and begin drawing up plans on a whole range of issues — jobs, education, crime, etc. Once such a vehicle is formed, it holds the power to make politicians, agencies and corporations more responsive to community needs. Equally important, it enables people to break their crippling isolation from each other, to reshape their mutual values and ...

So exactly WHERE in the New Testament do you see Jesus organizing communities to "make politicians, agencies and corporations more responsive to community needs"?
He did NOTHING for "neighborhood empowerment" against the Roman occupation. Jesus was concerned about the spiritual welfare of all mankind, whom He had come to save from sin, not to PRESSURE those in power to provide for the community.
Actually, the Pharisees were the community organizers. They organized the public to pressure the Romans to kill Jesus Christ.
You are just like them.
John 4 :
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
But you cannot understand the word of God, because you deny him.
John 8 :
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
It was bull$hit then...and it's bull$hit now. I suggest that you either come up with some examples of Jesus organizing the Jews to force some handouts out of the Romans, or stop blindly repeating the phrase.
You are a liar.

If you still think that Jesus was a community organizer after that....then you're either too dense to understand, or you're too much of an ideologue to admit when you're wrong.
Look at him community organizing
