Is the new Batman an older Dubya?A Wall Street Journal op-ed suggested the moral and political themes of the new Batman film "The Dark Knight" reflect an admiration for the policies of the Bush administration.
The movie is "a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war," Andrew Klavan wrote.
The hosts of Fox & Friends commented on Klaven's article.
"I liked Iron Man because it wasn't anti-American," began Brian Kilmeade. "I have not seen the new Batman." Kilmeade said, who was also not aware that Robin has been excluded from the latest series of Batman films, since he later made a Robin/Dick Cheney joke.
"This is a deep-thinking piece," Gretchen Carlson said humorously, "comparing Batman and what he stands for and crusades for -- and he does it against, you know, all the people that are against him and don't like him -- he compared that to George Bush."

This is the Batman character from the original DC comics:
Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess any superpowers; he makes use of intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess, and torture in his war on crime.
LOL! This is certainly not a description of the Clown President especially the intellect part.

Even the Joker is better then Bush. This election is bringing out the worse in people. The White House stops Obama from visiting the injured troops in Germany, now McCain says why didn't he visit the troops. Isreal newspaper printed a private message Obama put on the Wall, no one has ever taken a message from the Wall not even John McCains or Bush when they visited. Not even God means anything to these people any more.
I was glad to hear that Americans living overseas have form a group called MaMa's for Obama to make sure their vote counts. Very few people are voting for McCain.
