Is obama Superman, or is Superman obama? On April 29, 2011, In Politics, By Ron Reale

In an extraordinary decision, Superman has been written, (yes, I know he doesn’t exist!), to give up his American citizenship, because he does not want his actions portrayed as benefiting American policy.

Leaving aside whether he even was, or is a citizen, or whether his papers would, (be written to), have a higher ID number than people born days after him, there are still many similarities, between obama and Superman. (obama doesn’t want his actions benefiting American policy either, like giving NATO predator drones to kill Khadaffy, while claiming we don’t want him killed, that might benefit America).

Both didn’t really know their real parents.

Both being raised, and influenced, by surrogates.

Both have “secret identities”, Superman just needing a suit and a pair of glasses. obama needs three law firms and millions of dollars to keep his true identity hidden.

Superman had the Kents, fine people from the heartland of America, who instilled in him the traditions, values and morals they believed in, those of America. obama’s grandfather sought out Frank Marshall Davis to become obama’s strongest influence, according to obama. Davis instilled in the boy the traditions, values and morals he believed in, those of a Black Power-pedophile-sexual-deviant-communist anti-American.

Both have carried those teachings with them all their lives, until recently. (The fictional one changed for the worse, not vice versa, unfortunately)

Both spent time in the world of print, Superman at the Daily Planet, obama at the Harvard Law Review.

There are differences, though.

Superman has always been written as a champion of America, who stood for, “Truth, Justice and the American Way”. obama, in his role as an, “community organizer”, and now as President, has always had great problems with, ” Truth”. I could list many of his lies, concerning things such as publicly financing his campaign, transparency in government, no federal funding for abortions, you know, all those little things…

Than, there is, “Justice”. Superman was all for, “Justice”, arresting anyone on the wrong side of the law, delivering them for prosecution. obama believes in, “Justice”, as long as the criminals are not Black Panthers, or muslim terrorists. Or, “I don’t know all the facts, but, (the white guys), acted stupidly”.

The, “American Way”? Up to now, Superman was all for the, “American Way”. obama, on the other hand, has, since his arrival on the scene, denigrated our Constitution repeatedly, and apologized for America’s morals, values and traditions, (like defending ourselves from most of the worlds terrorists), all over the world, bowing, scraping and groveling to pissant dictators worldwide.

Superman is reportedly about to go to the UN, and declare himself to be a “Citizen of the World”.

Didn’t obama do that already?

I just wish that if one of them had to emulate the other, it would have gone the other way.

BTW, anyone seen Trump and Superman together? Hmmm…

Did Superman REALLY Renounce His American Citizenship?

In sum, the media, the Internet, everybody everywhere, have blown this whole situation way out of proportion. This isn’t (in my humble opinion) DC’s attempt to de-Americanize Superman as a character, and there’s no evidence that this story even belongs in DCU canon. I mean, just check out the visual progression of Superman through the years as drawn by Brian Stelfreeze (below) that appeared in the very pages of Action Comics #900. The rightmost iteration of Superman (in the style of the awesome Gary Frank) is the most modern of the six, and he’s the one waving the massive American flag. If David Goyer’s Superman renounced his Americanism, doesn’t this counteract that?

Instead, “The Incident” is just a terribly ham-fisted tale written by one David Goyer that fell flat on nearly every page. Frankly, we should be more concerned with the Man of Steel writer’s ability to write the character of Superman than whether or not he’s currently American.
