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.”

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!!!
