Superman? I Think Not.

Illinois Senator Osama Obama (as Ted Kennedy called him) posed for a photo in the same pose as the statue of Superman behind him. It's not as bad as the bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton, which scares me, but is still pretty lame.

On an another note, he made an appearance at a town hall meeting at the Metropolis (That's also the name of Superman's home city) Community Center. At this meeting, he spoke about global warming, and said that consumers can make the difference by switching to higher mileage hybrids. "It would save more energy, do more for the environment and create better world security than all the drilling we could do in Alaska." After the meeting, he left in a GMC Envoy. His press secretary said that this vehicle is an E85 (ethanol) Flexible Fuel Vehicle, so he is walking the walk. A check on the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition website lists E85 ready vehicles. The GMC Envoy was not listed.
