My first response was shock.  I could not believe the powers that be are creating toys of this guy.  I mean WTF happened to this country?  First, we have a news show with a huge wall mural containing 44 portraits of Barack Obama, and new they are making toys of him and saying he’s “the closest thing we’ve ever seen to a superhero… “

This is absurd and just plain weird and I’m not saying that because I didn’t vote for the guy.  If I saw a news program with a mural of George W. Bush as their background, I would be think the same thing.  What happened to being unbiased? Obama is the first black president, and I don’t think that accomplishment should be taken away from him, but that doesn’t mean we should treat him like he’s the second coming of Jesus Christ either.
