Daily Distraction: Super Obama World

Sometimes we get a little restless. Between scouting out new netbooks and searching the Web for the best deals, we here at LAPTOP need a break. Today, we found Super Obama World. Set in Alaska with an occasional view of Russia, this game features Barack Obama in the role of the famous plumber and replaces Goomba with lipstick-wearing pigs. Of course, the role of boss Bowser is none other than Sarah Palin. Instead of coins, Super Obama collects flag pins and starts each game with a generous serving of 50 lives, which will give you ample time to explore the areas such as “I Can See Russia From My House!” and “A Series of Tubes.” Creators ZenSoft promise to release more levels, including Arizona, Illinois and Washington, D.C., but, in the meantime, there’s plenty to explore in the Alaska level.
