Strange choice of words by Obama, when asked by a 6-year-old if space aliens are real: "there's been no direct contact" with them. Makes one wonder about that White House official - a spokesperson? I forgot - who unsuccessfully tried in 2002 to make the UFO files public, using the Freedom of Information Act.

No response to this thread... I guess the all Politics boards are more interested in illegal aliens than space aliens...

Only a conspiracy UFO nut would think this is evidence of an alien cover up.

No direct contact is the most accurate answer, given the likelihood of extraterrestrial life out there somewhere.

He wanted to leave open the possibility that Nancy Pelosi is an alien probe cyborg.

She looks more reptilian than cyborg if you asked me.

But that would be direct contact, you see.

"We've been coming here for over 50 years, abducting people and giving them anal probes. All we've 'discovered' is that 1 in 10 doesn't seem to mind."

Let's consider the context. He was speaking to a six-year-old, not testifying before a special prosecutor. There was no reason for him to get creative with the language of his answer like Bill Clinton during the Lewinsky questioning.

Don't read too much into it.

Why did you say, "Don't read too much into it"? Are you implying that there is a certain amount that we should read into it?

Interesting point.

On second thought, who am I to tell anyone what not to do anyway?

Maybe he gets email from them but hasn't actually met one yet.

Do the emails come with a virus, so that they retaliate after Independence Day?

It's just code for "I can't explain what Donald Trump is".

What would you expect a reptilian to say?

Could've told the kid something more controversial, like "We're currently rocketing a probe to Uranus", but no. He had to go and say something "safe" and "media-friendly". Ugh.
