Someone wrote in scans_daily,

That is the nature of the Authority. During the 2008 US Presidential election, when asked on how his characters would vote Ellis said...

"The Authority would in fact have banned voting by this point and Jenny Sparks would be choosing our local leaders for us," said Ellis of the team in his wildly popular superheroes-as-government series. "However, Obama would stand a good chance of being selected as America's community organizer. Mind you, Jenny Sparks was an infamous drunk, so, frankly, so would Jesse Ventura, John C. McGinley or Bubbles from 'The Wire.'"

More than anything that scene is meant to express the fears he has about super-powered beings along the lines of Superman that are now bubbling to the surface in his recent Avatar work.
