He would be the first black president of the United States of America! That would take all kinds of super powers: command of language, giver of hope, peacemaker, racial divide destroyer, vote magnet.

peace,
joe

He'd have a Hope Laser that shoots out hope rays every time he smiles. It makes criminals full of hope and stops them right in their tracks.

I would hope it has something to do with lowering the unemployment rate.

A job beam - he points at the unemployed and suddenly they have jobs.

Enhanced Emotion Control... because it's what comes naturally to him. That and an arsenal of indestructible, wrinkle-free suits...

I think he borrowed Steve Job's "reality distortion field". I like him, but so many people think he's Jesus.

He would be an equivalent of Neo, clearly:

I believe he is secretly a Jedi Master. (Obi Wan.. Oba Ma... suspicious, huh?)

I think Barack "Yoda" Obama's secret power could be Jedi mind tricks.

Look out for him touring the world saying things like: "We Americans are actually quite nice. You don't really want to bomb us."

And then if everyone starts going: "Hey, Americans are actually quite nice! We don't really want to bomb them. What were we thinking?" - you'll know why.

Also he may travel the US saying things like: "SUVs are bad for the environment, we should drive something more fuel efficient."

Then watch out for people going: "Umm... ya know... SUV's are kinda bad for the environment.... maybe we should drive something more efficient?"

Obama clearly has a power similar to one of the wizards in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. But which one depends upon your political beliefs. He may have the power of Gandalf's ring Narya to kindle the fire of hope and to inspire and strengthen men's hearts. But on the other hand, perhaps he has only the power of Saruman's voice, to trick and delude.

Either way, perhaps his power was augmented by the magic ring given him by Reamonn.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have an army of Orcs in his basement.

For one think you just don't get that big of a basement in Chicago. :)

He would produce gas by wiggling his ears. He will have to, because some blacks think he will give them free gas.
