First of all, this headline is tripe.

Second of all, Tempe/Phoenix and the surrounding demographic territory is... Not the most cultured area of the country. There is this paradoxical theatre of useless hippies and staunch racists creating a proverbial amalgum of bad, bad, taste socially. My apologies to the respectable residents of the area.

Finally, Obama has a Harvard Law degree. Who cares if these crackerjacks at ASU don't want to honor him?

It is kind of an FU though, considering the credentials of past honorees.
