Based on Romney's imperformance, he doesn't merit a first term.

Based on BHO's performance, he doesn't deserve a second term.

I must be going mad. I could've sworn QM just made a political statement without resorting to childish name-calling or ridiculous hyperbole.

A sign of things to come? One can only hope.

Your video, George Takei endorses Obama, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I agree with what you say. Both parties suck. They do pit us against one another. Corporations should be counted as 1 person and limit their donations to the same $2500 max that you and I are capped at.

Some of the most stupid reason to vote for Obama.
Obama has 1/2 Asian sister - so vote Obama.
Obama has 3 Asians working for him - so vote Obama.
I was interned in the 40s - so vote Obama.
Asians have low voter turn out - so vote Obama.

to be fair, you actually do make a rational argument for a change. I was actually thinking the same thing.
But I think what was left unspoken is: "The other guy sure as HELL doesn't give a damn about those minorities" Takei is just being classy and keeping it positive.
You're illustrating what is wrong with our voting system. Neither side really has our interests at heart, they BOTH cater to corporations more than they will cater to us.
Parties suck...period. They divide the nation, they pit us against each other all the time. You simply cannot boil down the complex issues of the day into left vs right.
Ban parties, make elections completely and 100 percent public. Get the private money out of there. money is not free speech. your vote is your free speech. Make it about the person and not the party.

He's making the case to Asian Americans that Obama cares about and understands their interests. Obama's cabinet appointments, family and upbringing help make that point. As for low voter turn out among Asian Americans, I think Takei is making a more general point that their community has gone through hardship and discrimination to get where they are now, and it's a waste if the younger generation doesn't choose to participate in democracy.

Curious: why'd you stick this in Asia? Takei may be of Japanese decent, but he's no more an "Asian" than I'm a "German". The man was born and raised in Los Angeles. Hell, I don't think he even speaks Japanese. My thought is that until we get a *white channel (hopefully never, despite QM's efforts) the Asia channel ought to be reserved for, you know... Asian things.

Your thoughts? Don't just give me your usual "I am just an Ant" speil. :

Flower is outly and proudly gay, man.
Would you like to try again?I wondered, thus the less-emphatic alternative to "Boobs, duh!"

In that case I'm going to have to go with "Things George Takei Says".

As @bareboards2 has noted, I have little to no experience with boobs. But even I know that getting access to them is not "simple", even if they did make me happy!
