Is Barack Obama Kryptonian?

Because you demanded it... the secret origin!

This week at the annual Alfred E. Smith Charity Dinner, Barack Obama made a couple of comic book references, one to Superman and one to Alfred E. Neuman. Check the video at about :46 and again at 5:46...

So if Barack is Superman, does that makes McCain the Dark Knight?

And I'm guessing Joe the Plumber is a really pathetic villian from a rogue's gallery.
