Marvel Makes Obama’s Nerdy Dreams Come True

Marvel Comics enjoyed quite a moment of free publicity last year when the Barack Obama camp released a list of previously little-known factoids about the candidate mentioning that he collected “Spider-Man” comics in his youth, and now the comic company is giving the president-elect a creative show of gratitude.

Why do I have to read this garbage when “capitulate-Obama” has appointed torture-John Brennan? Truthdig, you are quickly becoming a near-useless reporter. I don’t know where you are digging but it seems to be in the “Protect-Obama-From-Criticism-Garden”!
