For those who are interested in how Obama went from a minor senator to the White House, here's a comprehensive Newsweek report.
However, from my personal experience, I remember around December last year I had barely heard of Obama, merely that he was a politician that had opposed the Iraq war. He didn't stand out from the rest of the pack of presidential hopefuls.
This all changed one morning when I was listening to an NPR report on Obama's rising star, and at 4:15 into the program, I heard Obama calling up a reporter to apologize for messing up his game. For a moment I sat there stunned, unbelieving, because presidential candidates just didn't act like that. And then as I howled with laughter, I realized we had something special and brilliant in Obama. That we actually potentially had America's first 21st. century president.
And as it turned out, I was right.

...when you get NAZI DINOSAURS!
I've got to repeat that again, because that's so out there.
NAZI FREEEEAKING DINOSAURS!
T-Reich showing up is also how you know you have a really odd comic on your hands. And that's the case for Major Bummer, the comic about superheroes that could give the Mysterymen a run for incompetence.

Gotta love a story with a giant cat.
