White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs released a statement late Sunday Night that President Barack Obama would head to New York next year following the College football season to participate in the Heisman Award Ceremony. Gibbs said that Obama was named a finalist for the Heisman, awarded to the most outstanding College Football player, shortly after he received the Nobel Peace Prize. Gibbs alleged that Obama deserved the award despite not having played college football because "President Obama has strong desires for a college football playoff that would be fair for everyone." When asked about the opposition to the award former President Jimmy Carter stated that "Most to the people who are opposed to Obama receiving the award are opposed because he is a black man." Many Obama supporters were also outraged that President Obama was only ranked 13th in the latest BCS Standings saying that right wing computer polls were showing their white supremest tendencies. Most ESPN pundits agree that Obama's main competition for the Heisman is Tim Tebow, except Lou Holtz who insisted during Saturday's show that "Notre Dame was just as deserving as Tim Tebow."
