Obama Gets Caught In Spider-Man's Web (PHOTO)

It appears that President Barack Obama got caught in Spider-Man's web at the end of October.

A White House photo released for TIME magazine and published Wednesday shows the president playing with the son of a staffer outside the Oval Office on Oct. 26.

The president was able to escape, though. He went on to win a second term less than two weeks later.

It's not the first time that Obama was photographed around a superhero. As a senator, he posed like Superman, with Superman.

The White House is trying to figure out how George Stephanopoulos got into the Oval Office in the first place

So... that means Spider-Man really IS a terrorist? Well, damn, J.J. Jameson's really going to have a field day, now...

Spidey's finally gone after him. About time too!

Cute!

So where was the Secret Service? 

Were they already immobilized out of the frame of the picture?

Why should he look poor?

Very nice. I wonder if Castro was ever this playful?

[paul haugen]

Bill Castro, the former Milwaukee Brewer pitcher and one time pitching coach? The answer, yes he was. He was the prankster, and yet a mentor for young pitchers. Big baseball fan, Harry?

Obama had the child's father fired the same afternoon.

[paul haugen]

After they unmasked the child, he was the ill legitimate child of Mitt Romney and pop idol superstar Susan Boyle. Not that day, but a couple weeks later he was fired.

The nasty comments must come from those whose father never played with them, they don't play with their kids, or the only men they've known as a child disappointed them in some way. A little kid pretends with you and you go along with it. Nothing to even think about.

Well....we know Mitt would have tried! Great points. Some of these guys certainly do seem to have some button being pushed.

Exactly. They can't just let a nice moment be a nice moment; they have to smart off and prove they're the kind of jerks they love their party of jerks to be — like the egocentric punk in grade school who just HAS to disrupt the class.

WHY? The MAJORITY  of us voted for him to run the country, so your point?

Try the truth, So to give the grownup with a pair (aka, Biden) a change to really govern? N

Spidey knows a villan when he sees one....

I am an Obama supporter but, your comment was funny as hell.

[bullbreedbit]

Good stuff from Obama. Sure I haven't always agreed with his decisions, but having a good time playing around with a kid who probably would have been stuck in the white house being bored and waiting for his parent to take him home is great.
