President Barack Obama gave a speech at the University of Michigan Friday morning, at one point shouting out Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson. The president sized up Robinson's chances at the next level, reporting signs of interest in him as a signal caller in the pros.
@sbnation "They're trying to draft you for President. He's gotta graduate before he runs for President." - Obama on Denard Robinson.
From Big House to White House!
This means Obama's position projection disagrees with that of Mel Kiper, who sees Robinson as a really great wide receiver, not a shoeless president. The wide receiver of the executive branch is probably the Department of Transportation, because wide receivers are fast, as are trains.
That's actually the only hard position to find a government department for -- the Department of Homeland Security is obviously the offensive line, the Department of Defense is obviously the whole defense, and the Department of Agriculture is obviously Les Miles.
