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.'"

I think this is funny. And why not, Obama was awarded everything else, including the top spot in our government. It must be a complete shock for his adoring masses to realize he can’t have every accolade, even though he may not really care much about this honorary degree at all.
Poor babies...
Dissatisfaction. It comes with the job of being a spoiled whiny liberal.
“MSNBC Hosts Visibly Upset Arizona State Not Awarding Honorary Degree to Obama......”
Would you like a little cheese with that whine?....T.S.! Get over it you two crybabies!
They just assume that very few every commit thought crime.
"You know, I say if this stands, I got to believe the president of ASU is in trouble," "How could you be the president of that major university and allow this to stand."
With these Leftists, the thuggery is always there, in the background... Just waiting to be let off the leash...
I love to see “liberal indignation syndrome” in play! An honorary degree for what? Having a law degree? Sleazing his way into the presidency without a shred of proof as to his eligibility? Apologizing to the world for the USA protecting them from tyranny?
It's not like she was failing to "store test" for fresher coffee...
And I'm just the guy to do it.
They probably were unable to get his high school transcript.
He needs to be snubbed everyday.
He doesn’t deserve any for destroying the country.
If Arizona State has a master’s program in Treason, by all means, give Obama an honorary degree.
MSNBC AND Al Sharpton have no clue about Arizona or Arizonan’s.
Why are these “reporters” so upset when the tradition isn’t honored? How many American traditions has 0 broken in the short time he’s been in office? Do they get upset when he breaks American tradition? noooooooooo
