Arizona State University Refuses To Give Obama An Honorary Degree

  •  April 10, 2009

Because they don’t feel he is qualified to hold one.

Arizona State will thank the president for his commencement speech with a hearty handshake instead.
President Obama will deliver the speech on May 13, but without the customary honorary degree.
University spokeswoman Sharon Keeler told the student newspaper: “Because President Obama’s body of work is yet to come, it’s inappropriate to recognize him at this time.”
I guess voting present in the Illinois legislature 131 times does not count.

But I thought campaigning for President was all the experience Obama needed?
Discussion question: If Obama isn’t even fit to hold an honorary degree from ASU, is he fit to be running our nation’s private sector by taking over companies like GM and AIG?

    Greetings:

    No honorary degrees until President Obama releases his college transcripts.

    Maybe they bestowed the honor upon the real power behind the throne.

    Actually Obama is not fit to run a pizza parlor as he likes to waste money flying the pizza cook all over the world . Lets see now if I take the money out of the economy and then put it back in while taxing on the way mmmm? yeah that might work .

    Heh.
    Honorary degrees are stupid.
    Obama is young so he doesn’t even get a stupid degree.
    Heh.
