President Obama – The Nobel Peace Prize and the Heisman Trophy
Washington, D. C., October 10, 2009 (Satirical Comment by eGrumps)
President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for trying to bring peace to the world. His staff expressed surprise, but there is little doubt that all 34 Czars appointed by President Obama submitted his nomination to the Committee. An anonymous Czar stated that the rumor that the President was going to share the $1,400,000 prize with the Czars was not true. He promised to share only one-half, and then only on condition he would get the Prize in his first year in office. An aide said the President was “totally surprised,” and while he knew he would get it in two or three years, he did not expect it this soon. Especially since he had not brought peace to the world, or actually, any part of it. He said that the award of the Prize, while premature, would only inspire him to continue his efforts.
While the President was on a roll, (actually a Danish pastry) his staff of Czars has put his name in for the Heisman trophy for 2009. His Aide continued to opine that, while the President was not actually on a football team and had no permanent position, he was a true expert at blocking and weaving, and indeed, his prowess in ducking questions he did not wish to answer was legendary. One of the Press Corps was heard to say, “Look if he could win the Nobel, he certainly should win the Heisman. It would be a great tribute for America” he said.
Some even felt he could get an Emmy for his continued televised speeches to the American people. In view of the number of speeches given, a new category had been created, just for President Obama. “Best series starring an incumbent President.” President and Mrs. Obama were speechless when they heard of this singular honor – not only being considered for an Emmy for a speech, but an Emmy for a whole series of speeches, all basically saying the same thing. He appeared to be truly humbled.
