Today, January 14, 2009, Marvel Comics released its Spidey/Obama/#583 comic edition.
In time for January 20, 2009 Obama Inauguration as 44th U.S. President.
Most people would call this the Lampooning of a President, good and bad.
As is the article after the famous words to the Spiderman theme song.
The theme song of the 1967 cartoon show Spider-Man has become a popular standard. The lyrics were written by Academy Award winner Paul Francis Webster, while the music was composed by Robert "Bob" Harris. The song's opening lines, "Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can," have become as synonymous with the Marvel Comics web-slinger as his costume.
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can!Spins a web any size, catches thieves just like flies!
Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man!
Is he strong? Listen, bud, he's got radioactive blood!
Can he swing from a thread? Take a look overhead!
Hey there! There goes the Spider-Man!
In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light, he arrives just in time!
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
Wealth and fame he's ignored, action is his reward!
To him, life is a great big bang-up!
Wherever there's a hang-up, you'll find the Spider-Man!!!
As I reflect on 2008, I can say we had a great year:
Blacks are happy; Obama was elected.
Whites are happy, OJ is in jail.
Democrats are happy; George Bush is leaving office.
Republicans are happy: Democrats will finally
quit saying George Bush stole the election.
And all of us are so happy; The election is finally over!
I think 2009 will be even better:
Immediately after his inauguration
Obama will balance the budget
Revive the economy
Solve the real estate problem
Solve the auto industry problem
Solve our gas/alternative energy problem,
Stop the fires and mudslides in California,
Ban hurricanes and tornadoes
Stop identity theft
Reverse global warming
Find Osama Bin Laden
Solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Get rid of corruption in government
and
Achieve world peace
Then on the 7 th day, He will rest.
My best wishes for 2009!
