It was announced today that President Barack Obama has been named a finalist for the 2009 Heisman Memorial Trophy Award as presented by the Downtown Athletic Club.
President Obama just held a press conference to respond to this honor and had this to say. "Let me be clear: I do not view this as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of the totalitarian agenda of the NCAA. We have much in common."
"I know it is highly unusual for a non-football player to be named a finalist for the Heisman but I believe that with hope and change, along with social justice, this will not be my last sports type of award thingy."
President Obama went on to thank his wife Michelle, George Soros, Bill Ayers and ACORN.
After waiting for the thunderous applause to cease and Chris Matthews to stop humping his leg, he closed with these remarks.
"To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures from the storied history of college football. After all, I'm Barack Obama. I've got a Nobel Peace Prize. What have they done?"
He is the only finalist named so far and the first non-college football player to ever receive this honor.
