President Obama: Attacked By Mini Spider-Man!

President Barack Obama squared off with an unexpected adversary this week.

Fortunately for Obama, he was able to escape the superhero's wrath, and went on to defeat Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election just two weeks later.

The little kid should take solace, though. He may have a shot to supplant Andrew Garfield when the reboot the Spider-Man franchise again in like two years.
