As expected, President Obama has issued a statement on the death of Leonard Nimoy:
"I loved Spock." —President Obama #RIPLeonardNimoy #LLAP pic.twitter.com/vmwjnQ3Zm3

But one thing is still conspicuously missing:
Has Obama tweeted out a picture of him watching #StarTrek yet?

We all know that it’s this president’s tradition to share a photo of himself when someone notable passes away. We’re sure it’s only a matter of time until OFA tweets one out.
But in the meantime, these ought to tide the public over:
