Student Gets "excused absence" Note from President
WXOW News ^ | June 11, 2009 | WXOW Staff

GREEN BAY, WI (WXOW) - 10-year-old Kennedy Corpus had a really good excuse for missing the last day of school-a note from the President of the United States.

Kennedy's father took her to the President's town hall in Green Bay Thursday. When John Corpus was called on to ask a question, he mentioned that his daughter was missing her last day of fourth grade to see the speech today.

"I hope she doesn't get in trouble," Mr. Corpus told the president. "Do you need me to write a note?" the President asked and then proceeded to ask the girls name, take out a pen from his pocket, rip the corner of a sheet of paper at the podium, and then begin writing. The audience applauded and Mr. Obama went on to answer the father's question.

Later, the proud fourth grader showed off her valuable excuse note, which read, "To Kennedy's teacher - Please excuse Kennedy's absence. She's with me. (signed) Barack Obama."

Torah-toting, but gun clinger.

Teaher: "Now really Kennedy, a scrap of paper signed by Pac-Man just won't do. You need to bring your parents in for a talk."

A nice move, a warm move. It also shows that Obama CAN react quickly on his feet, without TOTUS telling him what to do.

Bravo, Barack, great showmanship!

That scrap of paper will be valued, I’m sure.

I wonder, if Kennedy had asked a serious tough question; would he have gotten the note?

Are you kidding? Where is that? All the schools in my area are still open and my brother's kids' school in south jersey doesn't let out until the END of next week.

Wow, I guess it does have to do with snow days, but I think we only had 2 or 3 up here in Pa. Doesn’t seem like enough to account for such a big difference. I guess state school boards determine holidays and inservice days? Maybe the schools up here have more days off during the year. Seems weird.

“Such a move would have worked for any president, “

Not for President GW Bush. Don’t forget, he was all evil all the time....

I don't suppose the question was about the birth certificate?
