My spidey sense is tingling



The cult of personality surrounding Barack Obama has gone from the ridiculous to the absurd. Obama as superhero? Gimme a break!

Did you hear the news that Marvel is featuring 'The Chosen One' in a special edition of Spider-Man comics?

Your heard right. Obama and Spider-Man team up to save the world.

From an Associated Press account:
The comic starts with Spider-Man's alter-ego Peter Parker taking photographs at the inauguration, before spotting two identical Obamas.

Parker decides "the future president's gonna need Spider-Man," and springs into action, using basketball to determine the real Obama and punching out the impostor.
Obama thanks him with a fist-bump.

Obama has said that as a child, he collected Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comic books. His Senate Web site used to have a photo of him posing in front of a Superman statue.
Amazing Spider-Man Issue #583 goes on sale Jan. 14 for $3.99. Don't be surprised if the comic book sells out.

And keep an eye out for the Obama breakfast cereal coming soon to a store near you.

    It amazes me how so many on the left don't have faith in God as a supernatural but will go banana's over a spiderman, superman or star trek movie. They are doing the same thing with Obama. The last time I saw Obama, he looked like a regular human being to me!
