(Washington): There was some shock felt in America today as Barack Obama added to his already bulging trophy cabinet with three new awards.

Obama was today named Hirsute Magazine's Beard Wearer of the Year, NME Magazine's International Album of the Year Artist and Time Magazine's Woman of the Year.

When asked about the first award Mr Archibald Sideboards, Editor of Hirsute Magazine admitted the constant clean shaven face of the president was a concern but the award was given in recognition of many excellent facial topiaries to come.

"He may not be wearing one right now and that's a problem," admitted Mr Sideboards.

"But just look at the man, he would obviously suit any number of facial furniture and we have no doubt soon in the future we shall see the President of the United States in a perfect Van Dyke."

More perplexing was perhaps Time's award for the 44th President.

"It's fair to say that Barack Obama may be described as vaginally challenged, possibly even over-penised for this award," said Richard Stengel, Managing Editor of Time.

"Having said that we can see the inner woman on Obama..."

Stengel then looked slightly strained and confused and left the podium.

Things may calm down for Obama until next week when he is expected to be named Banana Eater of the Century, English Poet Laureate and the Belgian Entry for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest.
