The Weekly World News is infamous for alien encounters with U.S. Presidents ("Space Alien Backs Bush for President! [1]" and "Obama Invites Alien Choir to White House [2]"),
but one alien admires and wants to meet President Obama. Actress Morena
Baccarin, who plays "Anna," the leader of the malevolent aliens on ABC's sci-fi 'V' series [3], told USA Today that "I would love to meet Obama" since he's "charming" and a "smart, smart guy," though, she lamented, "it took us all of 30 seconds to turn against him."
A Tuesday USA Today "Life" section article [4] provided this quote from the Brazilian-born Baccarin (IMDb page [5]):
I would love to meet (President) Obama. I think he is so charming and smart. It took us no time at all to turn on him. Certainly leading the country is a really tough job.
In a video [6] which accompanies the online posting, Baccarin yearns:
I would love to meet Obama. I mean, he seems like a smart, smart guy and it took us all of 30 seconds to turn against him. But I'm really curious to meet him and know him.
The fourth of a four episode run of V aired Tuesday night. The series will return in March.
