At some point in Barack Obama’s momentous life, he must have watched a football game (and for you liberals out there, I’m not talking about soccer). He may have even hosted a football themed party for some of his Chicago buds at his crib. Maybe William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and Tony Rezko all got together with Barry and tipped a few back whilst talking all things pigskin and watching a game on ESPN.
Heavens to Murgatroyd, the man knows football! Furthermore, he has the enormous potential to return to college and play great college football. Together with the fact that he’s Barack Obama, this should therefore be more than enough to qualify him, unapologetically, for the Heisman Trophy. If you don’t believe me, then just ask Andrew Sullivan.
The Heisman trophy is normally determined by 924 electors (folks from the world of sports writers and broadcasters). But this year, the official sponsor of the Heisman Trophy, Nissan, is also allowed one vote and Nissan is giving their vote to the people! And to make it really democratic, you are allowed to write in a name!
David Freddoso of the Washington Examiner is encouraging citizens to visit the Nissan website and write in a vote for Barack Obama. After all, if Barack deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, then why not the Heisman trophy too?
You can access the Nissan website here. You should make this a daily habit until the awarding of the Heisman in December; you are allowed to vote once a day. Help put another well deserved trophy/award on Barack Obama’s shelf! And, make sure to spread the word and get your family and friends to vote Obama in the Heisman.
Now, I’m off to inquire with my son’s Boy Scout leader about making Barack Obama an Eagle Scout . . . Is there nothing our Dear Leader can’t do?

Admission will, of course, be charged to view them with the proceeds going to pay for health care…er… insurance (whatever) reform. Or not.
