President Barack Obama, fresh on the heals of his stunning receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize, has just snagged one of college football’s most prestigious awards.
His name was submitted for the award by George Soros just moments after Obama watched 10 minutes of a college game on television aboard Air Force One.
Obama learned about the Heisman while traveling to accept the Alfred E. Newman award for the most undeserved awards.
Obama said: "I will accept the Heisman trophy in the spirit in which it was awarded: As a tribute to the aspirational nature of my desire to someday play a decent game of touch football—much like the Kennedy’s.” Keeping things in perspective, Obama related that when his daughters heard the news they quickly added, “And we are going off of daylight savings time soon.”
Meanwhile, the most recent stunning high profile award to be given to the 44th President of the United States did little to calm Obama’s Republican critics in Congress, who are already bristling over Obama’s award last week of Olympic gold medals in ten events--years before the 2012 Olympics were even held-and are once again reviving the "celebrity" issue.
