Obama: "We're Building Iron Man"

Proving that Marvel is slowly and steadily taking over the world, President Obama has confirmed that yes, America is building Iron Man.

"Today I am joined by researches who invent some of the most advanced metals on the planet," Obama said during a White House manufacturing innovation event. "Designers who are modelling prototypes in the digital cloud, folks from the pentagon who help to support their work.

"Basically I'm here to announce that we're building Iron Man."

He's joking, of course. But he did admit that even if the American government was developing its very own super-powered armored suit, well, that information would be classified. Check out the clip in full below.
