Not white ones anyway. Obama "earned" those honors the same way he "earned" the Nobel Prize. For being black and making Liberals feel good about themselves for supporting a guy who is black.
Do you think he deserved that Nobel Prize?
I have no idea about Obama’s scholarly ability. I’ll take the word of fellow students and his professors.
I will say that anyone who can put together a team that can raise three quarters of a billion dollars in campaign donations, twice, is no one to be trifled with.
As for the Nobel Prize, I think the 5 member Norwegian Committee fell under the Obama spell that was sweeping the globe in 2008 that had 200,000 people showing up for his speech in Berlin.
I guess some have never heard of grade inflation. When I lived in Cambridge the papers had a story about it every other day. Harvard’s grade inflation—especially for minorities—was legendary.
