In a move that has stunned the sports world, President Obama issued a late night decree and mandated a "Touchdown Tax" against the University of Alabama football team and redistributed 2 touchdowns to Notre Dame.
The 14 point tax, which Obama declared "equal and fair", retroactively made the score a 28-28 tie, effectively allowing Notre Dame to maintain their #1 ranking and therefore assume the BCS National Championship title.
Obama phoned Alabama head coach Nick Saban and stated, "Those touchdowns ... you didn't score those."
Then, in an impromptu press conference, Obama further stated:
"WE CAN NOT ALLOW HARD WORK, TALENT AND DEDICATION TO BE REWARDED!!!
This goes against the all the American principals of equality that this administration is striving so hard to achieve."
He further stated that Alabama's excessive scoring was an example of "greed and excessiveness", before vehemently denying that this move was due to his disdain for the SEC, or Notre Dame's proximity to his home town of Chicago.
House shrew Nancy Pelosi applauded the move as did Dirty Harry Reid. The ESPN broadcast team stated their displeasure with the decision. "Does this mean we have to show pictures of ugly women, too?" said Brent Musberger.
