If you are going to look at the West Wing for having a black president, why arent people mentioning 24. They had a black president also… David Palmer

Not a TV show, but a movie.

In the movie “Demolition Man”(1993) there was a scene where names that were due for parole review were called out and one of them was Scott Peterson who killed his pregnant wife, Laci, and dumping her in the SF Bay in Dec 2002. Maybe the pacifist San Angeles did away with the death penalty?

Gov. Arnold Schwartenegger was president in the movie. Close!

One more for Star Trek, this one far more specific: they correctly predicted that the moon landing mission would launch on a Wednesday (one of those time travel episodes).

West Wing not only had a minority president elected, but there’s another strange coincidence. Not exact, but it goes pretty much near. Leo Mcgarry dies on the day of the election, Santos was hit by a drama. Obama’s mother died one day before the election.

In fact most people believe that SOMETHING was covered up about 9/11. I’d like to point out one point of interest: Building 7, which was hit by debris and had a fire in it, fell STRAIGHT DOWN like a controlled demolition. Look at pictures of the Oklahoma City Bombing, and wonder how that building didn’t fall, but a steel building with a fire in it collapsed in 7 seconds…Anyone have evidence of steel buildings collapsing from fire besides the 3 on 9/11?

It’s funny how the writer intones, (Despite the conspiracy theories, most people donâ€™t blame this on the U.S. Government) Yet, Actually a recent Gallup poll that was dismissed by the Obama White House staff as “inaccurate”, showed that 59% of Americans do NOT believe the “Official” story and DO think the US Goverment was involved in some way. A Whopping 79% of Canadiens feel the same…

Star Trek Predictions that did come though:

Kirk’s Communicator = Today’s Cell Phone.

McCoy’s Instruments = CAT Scan, etc.

Transporter = albeit only two poor little photons have made the 3 ft trip, so far.

Spock’s computer memory chips = 3.5 Inch disks, or Cd’s – take your pick.

Tricorder = primistive ones today can to temp, humidity, air pressure, infrared, and various other measurements. Then too the tricorder was a portable computer, otherwise known as a laptop.

Phaser = US army woking on an eletrical / light beam assault weapon similar. Then there are the infamous and dangerous tasers…

Romulan Invisibility Cloak = being worked on today, even a sound cloak is being worked on, although this should by attributer to Larry Niven (?) and his cones of silence…

Shields = electronic electromagnetic shields are being worked on now for the proposed Mars mission, although they will not stop a photon torpedo, or move a comet – yet.
