Yes, your dreams have come true, you can finally run around as Sarah Palin shooting rocket launchers at, who else, Barack Obama.

Thanks to new DLC that is soon to be added to Mercenaries 2, both Barack Obama and Sarah Palin will be playable characters in the game. But why no McCain? Probably due to the fact that Palin is an avid moose hunter and member of the NRA, not to mention that McCain is 72 years old.

While we have seen the likeliness of Obama and McCain in Saints Row 2, trailer included after the break, they were only classified as Democrats and Republicans. Mercenaries 2 actually includes their names, you are actually playing as them. Any guesses on how much press this is going to net Mercenaries 2?
