I just arrived in Tempe yesterday, and today Air Force One is landing here too. Obama is speaking tonight at Arizona State's graduation ceremony, and for once the university is getting media attention other than for topping the list of party schools.
Maybe AZ is still bitter about McCain's defeat? Whatever the case, ASU is breaking tradition by not giving the President an honorary degree for delivering the commencement speech.
Instead, the university is creating a President Barack Obama scholarship program to help thousands of financially needy students gain an education.
Although the media is attacking ASU for their decision, I don't think that Obama is going to cry over this loss. He alrady holds degrees from Columbia and Harvard Law.
