Obama: Check space aliens' party registration

In an interview with KGAN of Cedar Rapids, IA yesterday, Obama took one of the strangest questions of the cycle:

"If you are elected and you learned that the government new aliens had visited earth and the public didn't know, would you ensure the public found out?" he was asked.

"Well it depends on what these aliens were like, and whether they were Democrats or Republicans," he joked in response.

KGAN's oddball interview also asked him what rock star he'd like to be -- he said Stevie Wonder; his best feature -- "my ears"; and what he likes on his pizza -- he said pepperoni and sausage.

The segment concluded with the hosts praising his ability to take a joke: "He's the kind of guy you can do that kind of thing with," said one anchor.

"He'll remember us," responded the other.

Paging Dennis Kucinich...

1. Obama should have special insight into this issue.

His father, after all, was an alien.

2. Dammit! With the World Weekly News gone ...

we won't know which candidate the space alien picks. Not only does he pick them, but he meets with them and gives then a ride in his UFO.

They have an actual drawing of his spaceship, so you know it's true.

3. Some of us actually consider that an important question

But I guess he gave the standard answer to such a question. To do otherwise would probably be a bad idea.

4. all joking aside about party affiliation

it really would depend on what they were like...

you cant tell the entire earth population about an evil alien race thats destined to destroy us...

youd probably create anarchy in the streets.

people tend to freak out if theres impending doom and say F the laws.

which is why theyll never tell us if an asteroid is about to hit us.

8. Well if they were evil....

They haven't destroyed us yet. So why not? Besides...it would give us something to hate and fear besides other humans. ;-)

5. His response is simple, and makes you think If Republican?... get your guns!

6. Gosh, I'm way toooo serious...

...I took this question as a metafore.

I thought it was a way of asking Obama if he would out our present government if he found they were lying to us.

7. Democrat aliens I like it. They come in peace.

9. I think it's best that he not tell us.
