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.

Excited and outraged - all in one week

This week will go down in history as one of the most defining moments in our political process. Within days, we nominated our first African-American for President and the opposing party put forth a woman on their ticket as their Vice-Presidential offering. Either way, this fall's election will make history.
However, my heart is with the Democratic party and its ideals and I will proudly cast my vote for Barack Obama in November. Hillary fought a good fight but in the end she didn't represent the majority of her party and didn't get the spot. I am outraged that McCain thinks he can capitalize on that and cover up his failed policies merely by substituting another female on his ticket. He thinks he can hoodwink the women of this country by trotting out a woman who opposes most issues that women believe in, who is nothing but a Republican in a dress. Shame on him!

Just give the voters a female, any female, they won't notice.
Well, guess what, we do!
Don't pander to me, don't think I don't know what you're doing. All women are not the same. Don't attempt to pat me on the head and placate me with a token woman and think I'll be dumb enough to fall for it. How dare you!
All this has done has strengthened my resolve to do whatever I can to get Obama and Biden elected. History will be made this Fall, a history we can all be proud of.
