Here is what is funny? Obama wanted to honor Spock (not Nimoy) and he said that the hand sign was the "universal" symbol for "Live Long and Prosper". Right....another lie coming from Obama. It is not universal and it does mean live long and prosper. It is, according to Leonard Nimoy, a sign given by a rabbi during a ceremony. It was is Jewish blessing...According to Nimoy?
You can check out the link or read the book "I am not Spock".

If I'm not mistaken, your guy used to say it. In fact, I've heard it recited in every Christian service I've attended.
Nimoy was raised in an Orthodox home and was very spiritual and very Jewish all his life.
But at least you found a way to make this about POTUS!
Thank you for your services!
