Superheroes for Conservatives

Michael Bay is behind the new Transformers movie, so I dunno if it will have the conservative flavor of the first two, but I hope so.

I've often referred to the Transformers as "superheroes for conservatives" because of Optimus Prime.

He has a positive view of mankind, and not one of us as either corrupt or weak victims who need protection (but as partners); he believes in us. He champions individual liberty, repeatedly.

Yeah, you can have your Iron Man, Spider Man, Captain America and the Avengers for superheroes.... I'll take Optimus Prime and the Autobots.

(In the last clip, they're actually talking about Decepticons and Chicago, not the Obama administration and Washington DC)

If Ronald Reagan were a superhero, he'd be Optimus Prime.

If Barack Obama were a superhero, he'd be the Ambiguously Gay Duo... both.
