Are Americans hoping for a superhero candidate that may not exist? Dean Obeidallah weighs in

In an interview with Time magazine, Mitt Romney attacked President Obama's record, saying that the president hasn't exactly been the superhero America was hoping for.

However, in his new column on CNN.com, political comedian Dean Obeidallah argues that Romney may not be America's economic avenger either.

While Obeidallah thought that President Obama could be America's superhero, he contends that the president's slogan has gone from "yes we can" to "it could be worse." As for Romney, Obeidallah is not impressed with the GOP candidate's record at Bain Capital and as Massachusetts governor.

On Early Start this morning, Obeidallah discusses his column and argues that Americans only have "mere mortals" to choose from for president.
