You knew ASU’s decision would come down to race. CNN’s Mark Preston asks:
And isn’t Obama’s election as the first African-American president a “significant” achievement in this country?
Yes, it is - for the country - not barry. It wasn’t barry who brought around that achievement - it was the American People - who voted for him based on a nebulous concept of change! which he came through on: IRAQ. He had no accomplishments to merit him the job - if he were a woman of any genetic makeup, he would have been laughed out of Iowa - and his campaign was based on personal attacks, race-baiting, white guilt and extreme media bias.
If that is something worthy of an honorary degree then have at it.
It’s time to stop this race crap, folks. He was elected president. He holds the highest Office in the land and in the world - whether or not he is eligible - and race no longer pertains to his job performance. Open your eyes and treat him just like you did President Bush - critically.
Why do folks conveniently forget he is equally of European descent as African and is a descendant of slave owners not slaves. The narrative, which was based on mostly inflated falsehoods started by barry and promoted by an unabashed and bizarre proobamedia, is over. It was racist to mention his middle name during the campaign but he gets inaugurated with it and panders it throughout the middle east.
Says everything you need to know about barry: political expedience.
He’s 3 months in - judge him on that - which would not be judged a success if the media were to look at the reality of his first 100 day like clear-eyed historians will soon do. His tax cheat-filled appointments - most notably the head of the IRS - enough to start.
PRESTON:
I acknowledge, at first blush I really didn’t think this was a big deal. So what if Obama wasn’t presented with an honorary degree? Then I came to my senses.
He returned to his glazed-eyed devotion to someone he knows nothing about and mounted the charge like all the other barryfans who have nothing else to write about except perceived barry slights.
PRESTON: Isn’t it simply common sense and common courtesy to present the president of the United States with an honorary degree — especially if you invite him to participate in your commencement ceremony?
He didn’t qualify for their honorary degree - so what good would it be if they gave it to him? And why do they quote other folks who have gotten it? Sandra Day O’Connor being named the first female Supreme Court Justice far outshines barry becoming president. By far. Her achievement was based solely on her body of work and on who she was as a person - not as the culmination of Affirmative Action or the raging of crazy feminists and screams of Sexism! at every turn. She had achieved something. She acted when their were consequences. She stood for something and she stood up and behind her convictions - not wavering, waffling and changing position based on polls.
PRESTON: There still is time for the university to reverse its decision and present him with that piece of paper.
No matter what they ASU does - their proclamation will never change, nor will the media’s predictable manlove slight and outrage. Their making a big production out of it proved once again that their words are meaninglessly biased. Something that could have passed unnoticed they publicized, embarrassing barry even more - not ASU. They knew exactly what they were doing when they made their decision. It’s their honorary degree and they want to maintain the integrity of it. barry deserves nothing and for once somebody took a stand. They should be congratulated not excoriated.
The fact is he didn’t merit it in any fashion - least of all because of his DNA.
What is most telling in all of this - he is not speaking at either of his Ivy League alma maters Harvard and Columbia. No one can possibly believe that if he were offered an opportunity to speak he wouldn’t have taken it. Attempting to trash Senator McCain and pandering to college students would never, in barry’s world, take precedence over his pride.
