As a sense of crisis engulfed his White House Tuesday with the withdrawal of former senator Tom Daschle as HHS Secretary-nominee, President Obama made an unannounced trip to a school to read to kids.
His motorcade was seen heading north on 15th Street, and local sources soon reported he was at The Capital City Public Charter School. There was no mention of a trip on the schedule sent out to reporters the previous day.
At the school, the president and Michelle Obama read to a group of second-graders in the school library from a picture book entitled "The Moon over Star," an account of the first moon landing in July of 1969. An Associated Press report from the scene said that Obama told the students, "We were just tired of being in the White House."

What a relief, now they can leave!
Typical. Hide behind the children!
I’m already missing LBJ, much less President Reagan!!
Bush was bashed for reading to children.
Why is the President reading to children (other than his own) anyways?
He learned well from his friends in Hamas.
George Washington reincarnated would be more fit to serve in the White House, even in today’s times.
All that’s left is to figure out a way to step down and blame it on whitey.
QUICK! Somebody LOCK the DOORS!!!
Thats what the terrorists do.....
I’m TIRED of him being in the “White” House too! And he’s only been in the “White” House for 10 days!
Ha, I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD!
This narcissist has to be in the paper every single day.
I love that they call it a “crisis.”
9-11 is a crisis
Katrina is a crisis
Iran getting nukes is a crisis
etc.
Being surprised that your corrupt cronies don’t pay taxes is not a crisis. It’s to be expected.
Hey Barry, Kwami Kilpatrick just got out of jail today so he’s free to be your Health Czar.
He’s tired of being in the White House?
What a coincidence!
Being tired of Obama in the White House is becoming epidemic.
Ooh... George Washington would NEVER make it in today’s American political system. I don’t even think the Rinos would hesitate to beat a guy like him down.
My Pet Hope?
The O family can pack up and leave.. just quit.. he is going to have a lot of days like this with his agenda..he is already looking haggard..
Well that did not take long
Obama only really liked giving speeches to 20,000 misguided, adoring fans. Now that he’s had a chance to try out all of the shiny stuff in the White House he’s realized this presidency work stuff is not what he had imagined it would be. Maybe he should try watching some stump speech tapes of himself in the mornings to get pumped up everday.

Geez, why not goto a real public school in DC. Unless there was a favor to be fulfilled?
Charter schools are really private schools underneath it all.
