Obama, Spider-Man on the same comic-book page - USATODAY.com

On Jan. 14, Marvel Comics is releasing a special issue of Amazing Spider-Man #583 with Obama depicted on the cover. Inside are five pages of the two teaming up and even a fist-bump between Spidey and the new president.

And you can get this comic at your local neighborhood comic shop. Mine is Arcane Comics & More. You better get it when it comes out on Wednesday though because its already up on e-bay for $15.00. (I refuse to link to e-bay auctions gouging people for a comic that hasn't even hit the stands yet.

ATF: Plot to kill Obama is foiled

I'm surprised that these kind of plots aren't being discovered more with all the hate the right wing is whipping up on Obama. At least this time it is getting more press then the plot discovered this August in Denver which got a single paragraph in ONE of the Seattle newspapers.(You have to page down a bit.) David Niewert's blog Orcinus has a good round up of this incident.

I realize that the vast majority of McCain supporters are just normal people, but vilifying Obama is encouraging the violent nut jobs to come out of the woodwork and is irresponsible on the part of McCain's campaign.
