Today President Obama convened his historic 47-nation nuclear summit meeting, but what few people remember is that 23 years ago to the day another great American hero, Superman, also addressed the United Nations on the issue of non-proliferation. Like Obama, Superman called on the nuclear capable nations of the world to drastically reduce their weapons stockpiles and impose strict sanctions on rogue states seeking to acquire weapons-grade plutonium. Nice work, fellas!


Obama should have totally worn the supersuit. Adds a much need gravitas.
But honestly, wouldn’t you have thought that Superman would have something more formal for an event like a UN address? He literally has one outfit to wear, “casual,” “business casual,” “dressy casual,” “business,” “formal,” and “black tie” mean nothing to him.
