Update: Amazing Spider-Man #583 is now in its fifth printing...
Now, read this from the Newsrama article:
"The new printing of the commemorative issue comes after Marvel has now insisted that the character who appears as the President in recent issues of Thunderbolts (a tall, thin, African American male) is in fact not President Obama, but rather a representation of the President in the Marvel Universe. This after Thunderbolts writer Andy Diggle had referred to the character as Barack Obama, and Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada had stated about the Spider-Man meeting: "When we heard that [President] Obama is a collector of Spider-Man comics, we knew that these two historic figures had to meet in our comics' Marvel Universe. Historic moments such as this one can be refelcted in our comics because the Marvel Universe is set in the real world."
Alright, Joe Q., so who is the President in the Marvel universe, if that wasn't Obama in Thunderbolts? Let's check my commemorative edition of The Daily Bugle, shall we?
I think this shows that Obama won the election in the Marvel universe. This leaves us with three possible explanations as to who it really is that everyone calls "Mister President" in Thunderbolts #128
1. Obama won the election, but died and was replaced with another guy who looks an awful lot like him.
2. It is Obama and Joe Q. is lying so he doesn't get sued.
3. Obama is a Skrull!!!
QUESADA CONTINUITY FAIL
