Obama said He comes from the Planet Krypton
This was his statement believed to be a joke by so many americans.
Maybe He is telling the truth that He came from a Planet named Krypton.
The same planet where Superman came from.
In this time of crisis we really need to have people whose ability be compared to a superman. An Sen. Obama are one of them.
What do you think?

It was a joke that Obama made when both he and Senator McCain were keynote speakers at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner a few nights agol. He also said that Barack is Swahili for "That One" and admitted that there was a time when he hung around with some shady characters...the United States Senate...and commented that he saw McCain at a meeting. It was all in good fun.

Ah, yes, I heard about all that. McCain make some jokes, too. I do have a picture of Obama in front of the Superman statue in Metropolis, IL. in the same pose as the statue. Thought maybe he had let it go to his head.

I've only seen clips of the event but it seemed to me that Obama's jokes about him being from Krypton, born on Christmas and saying that his father was Superman's father (his name escapes me right now) was in reference to that photo. Both he and McCain were actually quite funny and I wish the good feelings from that night could have carried over to the next day when they returned to the stump but that's not what politics is about.

The term is "Kryptonian". Kryptonite is the stuff that drains Kryptonians' powers and energy.
Unless McCain's got a secret stash of it, he's probably in big trouble come November 4th.

Isn't krptonite the green stuff that made Superman weak?
I think Obama is more like craptonite. He doesn't look like a Superman at all. But he is a smooth talker and will probably win the election because of the economy. And because people want hope and change. I just hope they don't get disappointed.
