So exactly what DO words mean? In yet another shining example of this administration’s “do as I say, not as I do” policies, President Obama shows his Chicago-based political colors by attempting alleged “humor” during his commencement address at Arizona State.
University of Tennessee law Professor Glenn Reynolds writes in today’s Wall Street Journal:
At his Arizona State University commencement speech last Wednesday, Mr. Obama noted that ASU had refused to grant him an honorary degree, citing his lack of experience, and the controversy this had caused. He then demonstrated ASU’s point by remarking, “I really thought this was much ado about nothing, but I do think we all learned an important lesson. I learned never again to pick another team over the Sun Devils in my NCAA brackets. . . . President [Michael] Crowe and the Board of Regents will soon learn all about being audited by the IRS.”
I find no fault with Arizona State’s decision; indeed, I applaud is as absolutely appropriate (in contrast to Notre Dame). And I also take offense at the President’s blatant stupidity. Professor Reynolds nicely sums up the dangerousness of Obama’s mindset and it is today’s recommended reading.
