Obama for Heisman!
| Now before the left gets all bent out of shape about this let me start by saying it was not President Obama's fault that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this morning. What it does do however is show that the nomination process, which ended a mere 2 weeks after he took office, is more of a political process than an actual award for those who work for peace. It is under that premise that I hereby begin a write in campaign for President Obama to be awarded the Heisman Trophy. He did about as much to win the Heisman as he did to get nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in the 2 weeks after his nomination or during the campaign leading up to it, so I figure I have a shot. I have sent an e-mail to the White House notifying them of my intentions and have asked that the President strike the Heisman pose every time he leaves the podium for the next 3 months. He may actually have a chance as the 3 front runners for the award are not really doing so well this season. Tebow is injured. Sam Bradford is injured and Colt McCoy isn't playing very well. I believe Obama may actually have a shot. Keith Olbermann used to work for ESPN and still does NFL work for NBC so I figure if I can get him on board, he can talk to the sports writers that vote on the award and get our foot in the door. Think about it, the President will be honored with the same award as Ernie Davis, Marcus Allen, Tim Brown, Tim Tebow, Bo Jackson and OJ Simpson! What an honor for all he has done in college football. Call your local sports desk. Call your neighbors. call the New York Downtown Athletic Club. Show your support for Obama for Heisman 2009! |
