President Obama a long time opponent of the BCS held an early morning press conference that included Phil Knight, the Governor of Oregon and both Oregon United States Senators. In a stunning move President OBama declared the Oregon Ducks the true national football champions for the 2009 season.
Also in attendance were Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Together with President Obama, they announced that earlier this morning in a closed door session with the Oregon Representatives they had passed legislation that declared the month of February as National Oregon Duck month.
President Obama signed the bill at the press conference saying, he will make the formal public declaration tomorrow night January 27 at the top of his State of The Union Address.
When White House Press correspondent and Fox TV analyst Chris Mathews asked if nepotism played a part in the Presidents decision, former VP Al Gore and Phil Knight escorted Mathews from the room. President Obama does have a cousin that works as an assistant basketball coach at the University of Oregon.
As of this time neither Alabama Coach Nick Saban or the University of Alabama are returning calls.
