    What a couple of numb nuts.. Who the fuc gives s about Arizona State? Obama a Harvard and Columbia graduate can’t get a honorary degree from a y desert school? WTF

  2. Another “A+++” …
    Another “A+++” standard decision making by the Crow. So glad I transferred from this trashy university. Would you serioulsy want to be related with an institution that makes “bonehead decision” (as quoted by a UPenn professor)? No wonder Obama picked U of A over ASU.

  3. the school sucks …
    the school sucks bro. you guys are not even ranked in the top 50 US News reports, and the average salary of someone coming out of said school lingers around 33,000.

  4. Covering their …
    Covering their es big time. Seriously who was the ing dolt who said, “no, it’s only the president. Why give him a degree.” Makes no sense.

  5. So, it’s after the …
    So, it’s after the Ph D I think. How many years after the Ph D to get honorary degree? I’ll check with the administration office today and ask about it.

  6. I am a student at …
    I am a student at ASU and I feel embarrassed that the university didnt give the president an honorary degree. The school itself doesnt suck, but the ASU president and his colleagues that voted not to give him the degree do!!

  7. Hi, I’m an ASU …
    Hi, I’m an ASU student and I think my college made a stupid mistake and that even though people tried to cover it with a scholarship, the fact it that ASU publicly embarrassed themselves. I don’t understand Crow (our president) at all. I hope this follows Crow his entire life.

  8. OH WOW, OMG, this …
    OH WOW, OMG, this just proves the intelligence of ASU’s student’s!!!!!! LOL

    p.s For your information, an Honorary Degree is not a Bachelor’s degree its a HONORARY degree.

    now now now, someone has been listening to Sean ” yes i will be waterboarded for charities of military families, ooops did you say waterboarding, that sounds too much like torture, nevermind” Hannity

    c’mon man give me a break

  10. “All of this BS was …
    “All of this BS was “responded” to last November, decline. The American people decided to elect a leader instead of going for another round of theater from the Republican part.”

    People voted for a nebulous idea of “hope” and “change.” Many of them thought the Republicans were still in control of Congress, even after the 2006 elections. Obama is, and remains, an empty suit.

    My questions remain unanswered.

  11. All of this BS was …
    All of this BS was “responded” to last November, decline. The American people decided to elect a leader instead of going for another round of theater from the Republican party. You cannot expect to be taken seriously if all you want to do is play games as the Republicans seem to enjoy. The election is gone and past and y’all are not looking so great for future contests, thanks to supporters like yourself.

  12. “Bla bla, …
    “Bla bla, decline2state. ”

    Typical childish response from someone unable to answer even one legitimate question.

  13. I’m going for a …
    I’m going for a bachelor’s degree. None of my friends are going for honorary degree as far as I know. Is it a financial degree or something?

  14. I Don’t Agree to …
    I Don’t Agree to Give Honorary Degree to Any Person!!!

    i Agree President Obama
    Didn’t Earn it…
    i Mean Barack Obama Have has Degrees from Harvard & Columbia…but That is Short to an ASU Honorary Degree…Common is ASU…
    is Most Prestigious Then Harvard or Columbia!!!

    is Not Like The Honorable George W. Bush, Dick Cheney or Karl Rove They Earn it…
    They Most Give that Honorary Degree to Them!!!

    This 3 Guys are Fantastic!!!

    Yeah Right!!!

    Erickreyking: another satisfied customer of the Arizona school system!

  16. Bla bla, …
    Bla bla, decline2state. We had an election. You’re not happy with the outcome. Boo hoo. Geez, grow a spine someday, puppy.

  17. They didn’t teach …
    They didn’t teach you what “honorary” meant in high school, eh, astoria?

  18. “His tremendous …
    “His tremendous service to our country”? What service has Obama given? Voting “present” in the Senate? Not even serving a full term there? Getting elected to office by getting his opponents to drop out of the race with either real or trumped-up scandals? Appointing a tax cheat to head the Treasury Department? Nominating tax cheats to practically every other major cabinet post? Making a Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel his chief of staff?

  19. Hi, I’m an ASU …
    Hi, I’m an ASU student. I think you have to enroll and graduate to get a degree.

  20. I wish Obama would …
    I wish Obama would say “No, you can keep your degree because it won’t change one thing”

    eww@me picturing John McCain with a woodie…grrr…I wont be able to go to bed now!

  23. I agree with you …
    I agree with you but as far as Im concerned…he is flawless compared to our previous leaders..no short-comings that matter. Only ones that bagofyarn would be able to present are ones that the imaginary right wing come up with in their imaginations.

  24. it looks like i …
    it looks like i replied to you on accident…sorry if i did…meant to be @ the bagofyarn guy

  25. Eff that degree. …
    Eff that degree. The degrees he has earned are far beyond the one ASU is offering. I dont know if you read my post but I asked if you knew who they had given the award too in the past? Lawrence Douglas Wilder who recvd it for being the first African-American governor. John Christian, A long-serving lawyer and community activist. Jane Dee Hull, Arizona’s first elected female governor. So what was it you were saying about an “intellectual body of work.” Just shut the up please!
