President Obama and Star Trek’s Nichelle Nichols Give Vulcan Salute [PHOTO]

Is President Obama the first Geek-in-Chief?

Star Trek’s Nichelle Nichols was in Washington, D.C., late last month for a visit to NASA’s Goddard Center. She also took a quick stroll by the White House to meet President Obama. Nichols confirmed Obama is “definitely a Trekker,” and the pair gave the Vulcan salute to prove it:

Nichols, who played Lieutenant Uhura in the original 1960s television series, also said that Obama admitted he had a crush on her when he was younger. She also called the president “handsome” and “charming.”
