This just in:
DrewM just tweeted: "BREAKING: Obama named Motor Trend's Car of the Year!"
And this:
Next: Help Obama win the Heisman Trophy!
From a reader:
I just went to this link and, in the "Type your nominee here!" field, entered "Barack Obama." The winner of this Nissan-sponsored promotion will actually receive one official vote for the Heisman award as sort of the people's choice.
You can actually go back and vote once each day between now and the Heisman award in December.
I suspect that they filter out anyone who isn't actually eligible, but it is pretty funny. Oh, but apparently I'm too late:

President Barack Obama won the Heisman Trophy on Friday, in a surprise pick from New York's Downtown Athletic Club that cited the president's creation of a "new climate in college football" and his work on establishing a playoff system.
Though Mr. Obama has been president for just 37 weeks and technically never played college football, the Heisman voters praised him for giving the world hope for a better post-season and encouraging the need for change.
Heh.
UPDATE: The Nobel Peace Prize is fine, I guess, but I KNOW that our President has his eye on this MAJOR AWARD:
