So.....is Obama FOR the Matrix or against? Red pill or blue? Which

was he advocating? Inquiring minds want to know.

P.S. I think he and his crew did it on purpose knowing the pop culture references.

2. who's cheapening it. The Matrix (original) is one of those bad ass movies I can watch

and rewatch. I loved that movie. I think it's interesting after people called him "The One", etc. that they would go with that obvious allusion.

15. Oh c'mon. Even with such a heady subject like health care reform, can't we have a

little fun once and a while?

Does everything have to be so, so serious? :)

3. Actually, I posted a comment about the Matrix on another thread too.

He obviously wants us all to take the red pill. To open our eyes to reality. :)

6. I thought he was talking about the Doctor and Arnold.

Edited on Thu Jul-23-09 12:56 AM by RandomThoughts

From the movie Total Recall.

When on Mars, Dr. Edgemar tells Quaid that his experiences aren�t real: he�s still on Earth at Rekall Inc., and is having a freeform delusion from a schizoid embolism. At this stage in the story, what is the most rational thing for Quaid to believe about his experiences?

Dr. Edgemar wants Quaid to take a pill as a sign of good faith, which will help Quaid out of his delusion.

What will Arnold do? Wait we already saw that, the picture with him waving a knife, he has already lost it for sure.

It quotes Obama from last night and explains the "Matrix" reference.

14. Pretzel Warriror you stole my post!

So glad you did -- kindred mind, here.

This is the first thing I thought of when he brought up the red pill or the blue pill!

He's Morpheus! So, that's proof, no matter what the RWers like to say, that's he's not the chosen one!

But he may just help us find him!
