It's not often during midday cable news broadcasting you get to see raw emotion from one or two of the hosts. However, when President Barack Obama gets snubbed, there are exceptions to the rule.
On MSNBC on April 10, co-hosts Contessa Brewer and Carlos Watson put their disapproval on display for viewers to see while reporting a decision by Arizona State University not to award Obama an honorary degree for speaking at the school's commencement next month.
"In other news, President Obama will be giving the commencement address at Arizona State University on May 13th. But the president will not be getting an honorary degree according to the school. Here's why, quote, ‘While President Obama has already achieved remarkable success including becoming the first African-American president, his greatest work is yet to come. We will be delighted to consider him for an honorary degree once he leaves office at the end of the presidency.'"

Bwaaaahahahaha! Too bad!
Contessa Brewer almost came unglued. She needs to be spanked.
Why don’t they take him down on the border so he can greet the illegals as they come in? Wouldn’t that save time and trouble later? He could just lay on hands and grant them everything they ever wanted. [/s]
Shame on ASU for even inviting the “One”.
I love it when the left gets all unhinged over their messiah getting dissed...LOFL!
Once again............style trumps substance. Good for the university for not awarding just the style.
ASU is as liberal as Harvard.
Michael M. Crow, president of Arizona State University, is already backtracking on this.
They go the kneepads on and are sucking furiously....
You have to at least appreciate the “small” victories.
What more do these people want? They got their affirmative action token black man into the Presidency, they got their spend is the answer Democrats elected to Congress and they’re still not happy? What will it take to make these circus jerks in the media happy?
LOL!!!
At University, you have to COMPLETE the work in order to get the degree.
LOL!
This is golden.
Don’t worry, MSNBC is sending the ONE a crown any day now.
Wow, they (the MSNBC ‘anchors’) were really worked up about it.
Meanwhile, regarding ASU’s statement:
“We will be delighted to consider him for an honorary degree once he leaves office at the end of the presidency.”
Under those conditions, I would welcome him being given an honorary degree from ASU, asap.
Oh, this is rich! So they go ahead and give him the degree...and everyone in America knows that it was done under duress...what a triumph for the messiah.....
Haha it makes me think of this video
Wait I thought that there is no bias in the News!
When we refer to obama as dear leader in the media they might be happy..
It was a thank you for taking the idiot gov off their hands. It just wasn’t a big thank you.
Does ASU even give out degrees? I thought it was just a constant beer bash?
