Washington - The National Hockey League (NHL), in an unprecidented move, has terminated the 2009/2010 regular season and has awarded the coveted Stanley Cup to President Barack Obama.
The Stanley Cup is usually awarded to the best team of hockey players who endure dozens of regular season hockey games from October thru April, and a payoff season that is nearly as long as the regular season.
It is highly unusual for the Stanley Cup to be awarded to an individual.
The NHL commisioner, Gary Bettman, was unavailable to comment on this unusual action. However, a trusted source within the commisioner's office claimed that, after the Nobel committee awarded President Obama with a Nobel Peace prize, that the NHL was not going to be the last group to give the President an award, and wanted to act before Obama was awarded a Super Bowl ring.
When notified of the award, President Obama told the press that, "There are others that are more deserving of this award than me. Heck, I can't even skate. Nevertheless, I'd like to accept the award in recognition for all the fine work Mr. Stanley Coup has done for the community."
President Obama was referring to the Stanley Cup, the hockey trophy that was named after Frederick Stanley, the Conservative Governor General of Canada from 1888-1893, who was more interested in outdoors and sportsman activities than vote rigging.
I like Rush’s idea of awarding the KC Chiefs the Lombardi trophy based on their good intentions of turning the program around.
LOL! Rush is a riot!
Do you thing he’ll get miss America with Rush on the panel.
Yes.
Yes I do.
GO BAMA!!!!!!
Why can’t he win the Stanley Cup? He is the best skater I’ve ever seen.
World Series win is sure to be next since he can’t skate but according to Larry Sinclair he can “catch”.
In the penny tray, next to the cash register, there were a dozen or so pennies, and a few nobel peace prizes.
Seems some mistook them for pocket change.

ROTFL! They should award him the Heismann Trophy, too! HaHaHaHaHaHa.......
The school district we are in has already engraved the first place trophy in the local science fair with his name...
Someone had a question though...Where do we send it???
To the Kenyan home village, or the White House???
