ASU still clueless

Apparently, now, in an attempt to show good will, ASU has announced it will name [or was it rename] a scholarship in President Obama's name to show honor instead of awarding him their honorary degree when he speaks at their commencement in May.
Sorry, ASU. That won't cut it. You still look like idiots, as far as I'm concerned. Now you have compounded it. You just don't get it, do you? Not only are you insulting our President, you are also insulting all of us. This is the President of the United States. He is everyone's president, Democrat and Republican. By refusing to correct your mistake in the only way acceptable [giving him the damn degree, already], you are insulting the whole country. Our President isn't good enough for you?
ASU will forever be known as the university that couldn't. Questions will always arise as to what motivated this huge gaffe. Was it racial? Was it political? Was it just plain stupidity from a second rate school?
I'm sure there were people before this error who had never heard of ASU and that was OK. Now ASU [and by association, Arizona] will always be known to one and all as the school who dissed the 44th President of the United States. Don't you know this will be on national news all over again when he speaks there on that day? Nice going.
