Wah Wah. Looks like the ASU Sundevils have given President Barack Obama a fiery pitchfork and decided to not award the President with an honorary degree when he comes to speak at the school's May 13 commencement. How devilish!

The explanation? Because they are meant to celebrate "lifetime achievements" and B.O. has just begun his journey. Is becoming the first-ever African-American Prez not enough? Despite some lame backpedaling moves (like naming a new scholarship fund after Obama and releasing numerous weird statements), ASU can't escape the giant cloud of controversy that came with this decision. Pretty funny if you ask us- probably because we are an office of Arizona Wildcats.
