Obama Praises new comic "The 99", I find copy

Obama recently praised the new comic strip created by Kuwaiti publisher Naif al-Mutawa.

Although it is purposely not a religious comic, it does incorporate many aspects of Islam (among other religions).

I heard nothing but good talk about this comic, so I looked it up online.

And I found the first issue for FREE; and you can read it right now.

And I must say, its GOOD. I am really digging this comic so far; I believe Naif is a very well educated person and knows A LOT about Western and Eastern comics.

In the back of the first issue, Naif said that his goal was to unite Western with Eastern memes to create something for Everyone.

I know people will probably have negative comments about this (especially Christians- as you can see from their comments on the CNN page discussing this.)

But I am really impressed personally; and although there is probably some sort of conspiracy behind all this; it is surely worth a read.

I am usually agianst Obama on almost all subjects; but today; I am 100% on board on this issue.

"The 99" is really turning out to be a great comic.

So anyone interested in comics I highly suggest giving this one a shot. It's pretty good and has a fun story line.

Since I am not a religious person, I found this comic especially easy to read from a multi-cultural standpoint.

The gist of the story is that there are 99 stones of power and that 99 heroes from all over the world *even an American!* unite together to defeat evil and save the world from greed, corruption, and murderous thugs.

The main theme is that unless the forces of good cannot unite and stand together and work together, that they will never be able to save the world from the forces of evil whom are united.

You really have got to check out the first issue. It's a winner IMO.

Isn't this just a story on the NWO? You know the one world government "good guys" against the "evil" bad guys which are basically defined as anyone against the "good guys" and what the hell is the President of the United States doing reading comic books when the freaking economy is in ruins and wars are threatening to break out all over the place?

Thanks for insight and link. I read this earlier today and it's just great to our president as a respectful individual.

I know people will probably have negative comments about this (especially Christians- as you can see from their comments on the CNN page discussing this.)

My friend they are only Christian in name, Jesus was about Peace and Justice.

God said that they were "Smoke in His Nostrils".

They love to watch people die on Fox news, they demand blood and destruction.
They are as phony if not more so than the militant Arabs who kill innocent Men, women and children for "Allah" ...as a matter a fact they are the other side of the coin to Arab terrorism.

If people who love peace found themselves without those two groups, the world would be a better place.

The Population, Cops and Soldiers would live longer less stressful lives.
More people would be happy and fighting would diminish.

The way I see if The 99 promotes Peace and Justice it is a good thing.

The World could always use more "Heroes" and the right programing helps guide children along the right path.

Kudos to the President for having the testicular fortitude to speak his mind, its shows he has character.

Now please be ready for Teabag stormtroopers, they will be here soon to accuse President Barack Obama of being the Antichrist, the "Kenyan" or what ever their madness has formulated this week. .
