President Obama-Wan Kenobi!

September 16, 2009

We’ve blogged before about how many Star Wars fans think President Obama is secretly a Jedi Knight. But this is the first time we’ve been handed photographic proof of Obama showing off his Force powers.

Sith Lords and bounty hunters beware!

According to Newsweek:

Here’s President Obama dueling with, yes, a Star Wars lightsaber at an event held this afternoon at the White House to promote Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics.

    I’m gonna go even further out on a limb here and say that the G.L. and Lucasfilm love affair with Obama is a direct effort to try and stem all the racist ire that they garnered with Episode I. Anyone remember the “Jewish” connection to Watto, or the “go-fetchit” connection to Jar-Jar? Now G.L. is dating a black woman and is in production with Red Tails, to say nothing of their well and tiresomely publicized support of Barrack HUSSEIN Obama… PLEASE GIVE IT A REST and just get back to good ole Star Wars without all the inevitably offensive politics… :o /

    Z-core, I totally agree w/ you, I mean, what kind of president spends up to a trillion dollars in something he knows won’t work?!?!?!? He’s a hack + he’s on Nancy Pelosi & Tom Geihtners side. They’re all liberals!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My bad, Z-Score (correction)

  5. Darth Sion says:

    He might be drunk or he might not, sooner or later he will lose his head by either the American People or the lightsaber.

    OK, this has nothing to do with politics, but I want YOU to go to You Tube & type in Darth Vader being a jerk & then type in What if obi wan used force speed. Do it, it’s really funny.

  6. Artoo-Arnot says:

  7. darth myles says:

  10. Jedi Niac says:

    If all you red neck right wingers don’t like this, then you get out of the universerse. We won.
    He’s having fun, and y’all have to turn a Star Wars website in a political debate. Stop.

  11. Mike Windu says:

    REPUBLICans should rule the White House (GALIXY)!!!!!!!!!!

  12. josh says:

    he has to have a red lightsaber. he is a sith

  13. darth lord says:

    noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. It can’t be.

  14. michael the jedi says:

    get vader to fence Obama. Obama i am your opponent.

  15. DS-JEDI-NIC says:

    First off I agree with Z-score and Darth Sion.

    Second I see it this way…

    A long time ago in a galaxy far away…
    There was a man called Obama who was banned from the Jedi because he doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing or who he gives power to in the White House, or some people might call it the American Jedi Temple now.

    This is my first post.

  16. Sky Walker says:

    I agree with jediknight04785. he is no Jedi Knight. I sence the dark side of the Force in him. we must open our minds to the force and be cautious. red lightsaber would sute him well. :D

  17. JediGirlLuke says:

    he should sooo have a sith sword instead of a Jedi sword… I mean come on…

  18. He is just like the Palpatine he is deceiving the whole republic then bam he turns us into a empire, and then purges Christians and Jews just like the Jedi.
    He is not a Jedi!!!!!!!
    He is the mastermind!
    A Sith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. Madsith2008 says:

    More like a sith lord

  20. Bradley says:

    For all you thinking hes a sith lord i can tell you’re a republican. Lets think every time there’s been a war republican in office. You people are the most selfish and ignorant people. Even though my family has a lot of money why not look out for poorer people. The way republicans think they are all going to hell

  21. Trawn says:

    Kind of surprised that he doesn’t have one of the fancier lightsabers, like this one. http://www.gamesncs.com/rd_p?p=191613&t=9528&a=27896-ForceFX&gift=27896

    Unless he’s just going for the Mouth-Sound-Effects. Either way, coolest president moment EVER!

  22. Darth Trayus says:

    Sarah Fett, a lot of people used to like Obama but now they hate him because he lied about world peace, stopping global warming, creating jobs, & stopping our reliance on oil from the gulf, but those who liked him now see how foolish they are, they were.

  23. Bohica says:

    Bradley,

    You have a short memory concerning war. Why don’t you do a little research before you throw out a statement such as “every time there’s been a war republican in office.”

    If your family has so much wealth then put your money where your mouth is. Can’t the rich people of the world who want to see so many of Obama’s policies enacted pool their money together and fix these “problems?” Why can’t you Obama supporters do anything without the force of government. If the cause is so noble invest your own time and wealth into the issue rather than forcing everyone into doing what you “think” is best. Big government programs do not promote freedom, they represent an economic enslavement of the people.

  25. Darth Trayus says:

    @ least Bush doesn’t alow the killing of unborn babies. If I could, I would send “you” a picture of the remains of an aborted baby. JOHN aka a fricken SOB you are a hack, Darth Sion is right because he doesn’t lie like Obama.

  26. Darth sion says:

    Yes colin, I have noticed the the hilt is Qui-gon’s. Qui-gon’s lightsaber had minerature power cells on the handle’s hilt.

  27. JediMelindaWolf says:

    Oh, give it a rest (the political slurs, etc.). Can’t we all just enjoy a bit of good-natured fun and humor? The President included?

  28. JediMasterZo says:
