With the 2008 National Football League Season beginning in just a few
weeks, Democratic Party Presidential nominee, Barack Obama, was asked
who his favorite football player was. Before running for President,
Obama was known to say "Rex Grossman" or "Brian Urlacher" in an effort
to appeal to his Illinois constituency by naming a player for the
Chicago Bears. Now that Obama has gone "nation-wide" it seems he's
decided to pick a player that the whole country loves from a team whose
colors are a vibrant RED,WHITE and BLUE!! How can it get more patriotic than the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS and what more loveable player to pick from this team as your favorite than All-Star wide-receiver RANDY MOSS?!
In addition to naming Randy Moss
his favorite player, Obama also announced his plans to create a new
cabinet position when he is elected President. At the beginning of each
football season, President Obama will appoint an NFL wide-receiver to
serve as "Secretary of Six" for the nation. This player will serve to
represent the hopes and dreams of the entire country of football fans
as well as represent their wallets. Because, you see, Barack
Obama has said that for every touchdown (six points) the "Secretary of
Six" scores, he'll add another $50 to the tax rebates for all Americans
to be mailed out in the Spring. Last year Moss scored the all-time
single-season NFL record of 23 touchdowns which would have amounted to
a whopping $1150 for most Americans instead of the measley $600 given
to us by George Bush last year!
To commemorate one of President
"Touchdown" Obama's first major policy decisions, I've made this "Randy
Moss: Secretary of Six" painting. It shows Randy through all the phases
of his illustrious, Hall of Fame career. From his wild, hilarious days
at the Minnesota Vikings when in January, 2005 he "fake mooned" the
Packer fans at Lambeau Field, to his days as an Oakland Raider; and
finally to the New England Patriots where, with the help of quarterback
Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick, Randy Moss should be making
all of us Americans a hell of alot of money! |
