President Obama Remembers Leonard Nimoy with Sweet Tribute
BY JULIE MILLER
February 27, 2015Several hours after learning of the death of Leonard Nimoy, President Obama has released a touching tribute to the beloved Star Trek actor and his indelible Vulcan Spock.
The full statement reads:
Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future.
I loved Spock.
In 2007, I had the chance to meet Leonard in person. It was only logical to greet him with the Vulcan salute, the universal sign for “Live long and prosper.” And after 83 years on this planet – and on his visits to many others – it’s clear Leonard Nimoy did just that. Michelle and I join his family, friends, and countless fans who miss him so dearly today.

President Obama and I are very close in age and, despite being vastly different ethnically and grew up far apart, we both come from the same American cohort, so to speak, and Spock was a major influence on us. So, in a way, President Obama is like my big brother.
President Obama sadly could not be the President he could have been simply because he was the first Black president and so the GKOKPK voter base couldn't deal with that. But he did establish a good role model for many young persons, not just POCs, and his calm and intelligent demeanor shines in stark contrast to his racist narcissistic sociopathic soon-to-be-in-prison successor.

I don't have one role model in particular... but there's a few people that have been an example to me, for both what to do and what NOT to do, lol...
in my life I've many different people and some of them can teach you, or give you a little bit to take, some will have a lot more to give than others, for sure... as an example, that is I never really had one except for John Glenn
I think honestly I don’t have really a role model. In general, I think my parents have a good influence on me so I try to keep them as examples and try to not repeat their errors.
No one, missed out the time when a role model was important. At least now I have a wife, daughter and a cool dog. I could count them but a little biased
