WASHINGTON (AP) - On the rockiest day of his young administration, President Barack Obama did what surely made him happy for a while. He left.

With little notice, the president and first lady Michelle Obama bolted the gated compound of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in their tank of a limousine on Tuesday. They ended up at a Washington public school, greeted by children who could not care less about the collapse of a Cabinet secretary nomination.

"We were just tired of being in the White House," the president candidly told the gleeful second-graders at Capital City Public Charter School.

"We got out! They let us out!" Mrs. Obama said as the kids and their teachers laughed.

The White House said the Obamas' trip had been planned, just not publicly announced.

If he REALLY needed some boostering, he should have gone over to the NYT headquarters, also known as the Voice of Obamanation;

Sounds like zerO needs to be constantly propped up by people who have not seen through his charade.

He can still pull the wool over the eyes of seven year old kids. Wow, I'm real impressed.

So, people in Kentucky are still without power, some have died, the "stimulus" package does no such thing, another 8,000 people lost their jobs today, his cabinet picks are tax dodging thieves.......and Obama goes to visit some 2nd graders because he's "tired of being in the White House."

We need a grown up in the White House.

If it were Bush, they would berate him for abandoning his post when the country needed him.

Was this a public school? He came to visit but if Obama really gave a damn about kids or our country’s future, a priority would have been a plan to overhaul the terrible public school (aka teachers union) system.

He does not need to play them, far from it. The media supports Obama more than he supports himself.

I want that limo put up on blocks immediately ,, it weighs more than a large box truck and can’t possibly meet EPA standards for mileage or pollution ,, it damn sure hasn’t been certified.
