| #14 JohnQC, I think the disenchantment has set in before four months. For me, of course, it was less than four yoctoseconds. |

| #13 Good to stir the hornets nest every now and then Girl Thursday. You are right, I think BO is a one term President like Jimmy Carter--the disenchantment will set in before four years. |

| #11 Notre Dame and ASU having some problems sorting out their commencement policies??? Jimmy Carter has a significant body of work despite nearly all of it stinking--they could have invited him if that were the standard. These honorary degrees are largely symbolic [and political]--kind of like the the Nobel Peach Prize. |

| #10 If they'd have stiffed Bush, they'd be dancing in the aisles over at the Huffy Po. They could break out all their Chimpy comments... |

| #8 The editorial called it an "odd gap" that the nation's first black president would not be deemed worthy of an honorary degree. The gall! Apparently running a good campaign isnÂ’t enough for ASUÂ…better throw out the race card and see what sticks. |

| #7 I just took on a bunch of those whiney posters at Huffpo on this, got insulted left and right and it was worth it. God, its like a hornets nest of whiney sycophants at Huffpo. Lets see if they still feel so good about Obama in about 2 years... |

| #4 The ASU Honorary Degree Committee is made up of six members from across the campuses and is chaired by Dr. Laurie Chassin, a psychology professor. Lauri is about to be the next target of the left media and O's brownshirt brigade. It was nice how they fed that one out there. |

| #3 Ooooooh. Much handwringing from the Huffy Po... |

| #2 Sounds like a bunch of angry coffee shop people to me. Seems like they are trying to reason why that since he is president, why shouldn't he receive honorary degrees? There was the one brave soul, "Have to pass Speech 101 first", heh. Some posters who had reasoning/good points were shouted down, so on. |
