Arizona State Refuses to Award Obama Honorary Degree: Because He Hasn't Done Anything

His lack of accomplishments didn't stop Americans from electing his President. But it will keep him from getting a degree. From Politico:

Arizona State University will not award President Barack Obama an honorary degree when he speaks at commencement on May 13.

The university decided against awarding Obama the degree because it is customarily awarded for “lifetime achievement,” ASU spokeswoman Sharon Keeler told POLITICO.

“It’s normally awarded to someone who has been in their field for some time,” she said. “Considering that the president is at the beginning of his presidency, his body of work is just beginning.”

Obama will receive an honorary degree from Notre Dame when he delivers the university’s commencement speech May 17, as is customary for all the school’s commencement speakers.
