Even Final Crisis wasn't safe from politicization
The UK Daily Record (via Robot 6) tells that Grant Morrison did a nod to Barack Obama in the last issue of Final Crisis:
Grant told the Record: "I wanted to do something special for the last part of this huge comic book series.I'm afraid darkness is still likely to prevail, economically too, so I don't see what the point is, and the nod to Obama was uncalled for. But now I see what was meant when it was said this series went through a rewrite towards the end. And I can guess what might've happened if John McCain had won: they would've depicted him as the president of an alternate earth who was evil and needed to be defeated, wouldn't they?
"As I was writing it, I heard Obama making a joke about being born on the planet Krypton and being sent to Earth by his father Jor-El to save the world.
"I thought it would be a fitting end to all the darkness in America recently.
"All the comics have been dealing with darkness recently and, having defeated evil, it's now time to celebrate."
