PHOENIX, Arizona (AFP) "” Arizona State University has snubbed President Barack Obama by declining to give him an honorary degree when he addresses students at a graduation ceremony there next month, it was reported Friday.
In a break with tradition that has sparked howls of protest, the college has said it will not honor Obama on the grounds that America's first black president has an insufficient "body of work."
The university said earlier that the president's achievements have yet to rate the honor, and directed reporters to use a statement given to the Associated Press. "His body of work is yet to come. That's why we're not recognizing him with a degree at the beginning of his presidency," Media Relations Director Sharon Keller told the AP Thursday.
How about he produce his previous records first. Occidental and Harvard still have them under lock and key. By this time the left had all the goods on W.
Kudos to Arizona State for not cheapening itself to pander to the Head Start President.
The "howls of protest" are as music to my ears.....
From "Conan the Barbarian", I have provided a Conan 'truism' and it's equation to the current incident:
q: what are the 3 pleasures of life ?
a: 1- to crush your enemies
(honorary degree denied)
2- to see them driven before you
(refusal to reconsider with insufficient body of work quoted as the reason)
3- to listen to the lamentations of the women
(the howls of protest from the left)
You gotta love it. I wonder how long it's going to take the left to accuze Az State of being racist ?
No he can't!
Victims Aren't We All
