Fourth and really long

It’s going to be awfully hard to avoid President Obama on television this Sunday. The president is going to be the starting quarterback for six different NFL teams

“We need to get the word out about the president’s health care plan to anyone who may have missed the 100 plus speeches the President has already given on the topic,” presidential spokesperson David Axelrod said in an interview with MSNBC. “And since the average Joe Six Pack watches football instead of political speeches we think this method of spreading the word will be quite effective.”

“Mr. Obama has skills at shooting hoops but his ability to throw a football has not been seen,” Fox Sports analyst and former NFL quarterback Terri Bradshaw said in a phone interview. “But then again he wasn’t qualified to be President and he’s doing that job. Sorta.”

“The President will play on each team’s opening drive, changing jerseys after each drive.” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs stated during his daily press briefing. “His uniform number will of course be “1” and instead of his name the jersey will have “VOTE YES” on it.”

Gibbs was asked if the President is concerned about getting tackled by a huge football player. “We have told the teams that no one touches the President. Whoever tries better be wearing a Kevlar helmet.”
