Since Frank mentioned Obama with an Evil Spock beard:
I can’t help wondering what the Mirror Universe Obama would be like.
I’m thinking he’d be like this awesome mash-up of the Founding Fathers, with Thomas Jefferson’s love of liberty, Patrick Henry’s fiery rhetoric, George Washington’s military acumen, and the Rumsfeld Strangler’s violent murdering of liberals.
What do YOU think he’d be like?
Alternate universe Obama would be Det. Shockley from “The Gauntlet.”
Nice to see IMAO at the top of a Google search!
I think he’d be like a mix of Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater and Fred Thompson. So powerful and persuasive is he that communists and socialists everywhere just give up and beg forgiveness from every free man and woman they meet.
Alternate universe Obama would be Mephistopheles.
I was gonna say, “Ronnie Raygun” but you already covered it.
I’ve always thought Ronnie was a mashup of Jefferson, Patrick Henry, George Washington and the Rumsfeld Strangler.
We passed into an alternate
universe in nov. 2008,
so this would be like an alternate/alternate universe,right? Would it be like, you know a mirror/mirror/mirror universe? Like, you know,in a barber shop, where mirror images of mirror images curve into infinity? I mean like a ten to the tenth power or something, wow kind of hard to wrap my mind around this. I’d better post this at Daily Kos where real intellectuals can answer my questions.
The one really does look like Lenin, doesn’t he?
Look at that beard. He’d be Chuck Norris’s sidekick.
Deck Ape – The Evil Spock beard has side connections between the moustache and beard. Lenin had a separate moustache and beard:

DeckApe, you made my head hurt. And isn’t the current administration a hall of mirrors? What is the opposite of a hall of mirrors?
Harvey, you are (as always ) correct. Evil Spock was a fictional charater, Evil Lenin was a historic fact.
I couldn’t help but make the subliminal leap.
Burmashave, maybe a universe of Black Holes…dark matter, seems appropriate when thinking about the current administration…makes my head hurt also.
Oh crap does that sound RACIST…dark matter,black hole, I dont mean to offend…heh.
Harvey, there is one problem with the picture. There is no way That One would be caught dead with an American flag pin. I think a yellow Hammer and Cicle on red would be more appropriate.
When he says “the time for talk is over,” he’d stop talking.
He’d have Ted Nugent as his VP, and it would be epic
The Alternate Universe Obama would be wise enough to earn more XP before going for the big seat. He would run as Ted Nugent’s VP.
George guy has a good point. Alternate Universe Obama would recognize his own lack of experience, become governor of Illinois and change its name to “BusinessFriendlyLand”.
So would this be BizarrObama?
On the negative side, Clint Eastwood would have continued to star in movies such as Revenge of the Creature.
Stephen – Not quite. In Bizarro World, everything is opposite. In the Mirror Universe, all the physical objects are the same, people look the same, and people have more or less their same personality traits, but the socio-economic order of things is different.
Since Earthlings had an intergalactic empire by 2300 AD, I’m guessing that, in Mirror America, people didn’t forget the principles of liberty and free commerce upon which their country was founded, which enabled them to find a way to make space travel profitable sooner, and space travel technology advanced on a Moore’s Law (doubling every two years) trajectory.
Mirror Obama would still have the traits of being handsome, charming, politically-ambitious and a smooth talker, but the only way he could get elected in this ultra-free societey is to fake center, then swing wide for increased freedom and capitalism after he won the election.
Oddly, Mirror Obama would also have run on a theme of “Change”, since Mirror Bush would’ve been wildly unpopular. I mean, come on… 8 years, and only 2 tax cuts? What a commie!
You would never have heard of him. A conservative in Chicago? Get real.
He’d be Mr. T
Idahoser – Mirror Chicago would still be a huge industrial shipping mecca where land-based resources meet water-based transportation, except that’d it’d be a free port like Hong Kong.
And Mirror Hong Kong would still be a free port, too, since Mirror America would’ve either conquered, annexed, or bought the entire planet by now.
What about Mirror Fred Thompson? I don’t like pondering that.
Excuse me, Ted Frompson.
BIDEN: The Israelis won’t budge on the settlements – and now they’re leaving!
OBAMA: What? Due to your incompetence?
BIDEN: No, Mr. President – I swear!
OBAMA: Your agonizer, Mr. Biden.
BIDEN: Please, Mr. President!
OBAMA: Your AGONIZER, Mr. Biden!
Mirror Obama would never be confused about doors and windows. Nor would a bucket ever touch his head.
You Did specify that this was a just a mirror-universe Obama, and Not the -Evil- mirror-universe Obama? In that case, yeah, I’d vote for him!
Sorry nothing you can do will change the Fact! that in any universe or plane of existence, he would be the same loser we have come to know and distrust.
It’s easy. He’d be Sarah Palin.
Harvey: I have a problem with your graphic. If you are truly trying to portray Obama as Spock, you should not have shrunk the ears. You should have emphasized them.
MirrObama would be like Patton. Fierce, blunt, and more than willing to fight and destroy our enemies in combat.
Wait I just noticed a huge problem with this mirror world. If we were in this mirror world with an awesome Obama, then we would all be the liberal weenies we make fun of here at IMAO. Sorry Harvey, I will not play that game.
Omigosh, t-dog! You’ve spotted the fatal flaw. In mirror world, this site would be angry and pathetic, while the Daily Kos would be funny and bizarre.
In Mirror world he would punch the crap out of his teleprompter, make other nations leaders bow to him, and he would have just deregulated the health industry.
In mirror world, frank would say funny things about it.
t-dog… you’ve nailed it.
You and Burmashave have pulled me back from a very dark place, thank you, thank you.
In Mirror World,
Frank would be Editor and Chief of the New York Times,
and Harvey would host “This Week with Harvey”.
He would still be BO! You can’t change a Marxist just by putting him in an alternate universe….
Besides, he’s such a Narcisist, he named the dog BO, too… In the alternate universe, the dog would be President.
I bet in an alternate universe, he is married to a female version of Michelle Obama!
I’m not sure I understand this notion of a “mirror” universe as opposed to an “opposite” one. After all, it’s an established scientific fact that we live in Basil’s “Bizarro World.” The real question is: does the principle of “invariance” apply? Is the whole universe as bizarre as here?
@36 SniperDroid
A dog would be an improvement, crapping and pissing on the white house lawn instead of the American Citizenry.
@38 Jimmy
In Basil’s “Bizarro World.” TV would consist of continual broadcast of “Carrot Top does Vegas” a slight improvement on CNN, but still not my cup of tea.
He wouldn’t suck and his wife would be hot.
Alternate universe Obama would say, “No, no… run for president? Are you crazy? I mean maybe after i have actually done something with my life, but it would be immoral to seek a job I am utterly unqualified for.”
Oh wait, the real obama did say something very similar to that, but then ran for president anyway. sigh.
(That will either make you laugh or cry)
I’m thinking he’d be Dick Cheney.
Reagan’s teleprompter.
