We now have a President in the white house that is a Spider-Fan. During the campaign Entertainment Weekly asked each candidate which superhero they identify to most. Obama said Spider-Man because , “The guys who have too many powers, like , that always made me think they weren’t really earning their superhero status. It’s a little too easy. Whereas Spider-Man and Batman, they have some inner turmoil. They get knocked around a little bit.”
McCain sided with Batman. He said, “He does justice sometimes against insurmountable odds. And he doesn’t make his good works known to a lot of people, so a lot of people think he’s just a rich playboy.”

He problally did
he considers himself like Spider-Man? What, did he sell his soul to Mephisto to win the election or saomething?
Great, can he legislate that OND/BND be completely and utterly retconned?
Course he probably hasn’t read the book in, probably decades.
Woo! That’s some extra brownie points right there.
I love that Obama liked both Bats and Spidey cuz THEY’RE MY TWO FAVORITE CHARACTERS!!!
And he also has Irish roots.
Congratulations to the USA on its new president elect. Wow he absolutely annihilated the opposition with the Senate and the House of Reps also democrat controlled. A massacre!
