The Education President
President Obama made a little girl’s day yesterday when he wrote her an excuse for missing school. Kennedy Corpus, a fourth-grade student in Green Bay, Wisconsin, skipped the last day of school to attend the President’s town hall forum on health care reform, along with her father. While introducing himself as he asked the president a question, Kennedy’s father mentioned that he had taken his daughter out of school to attend the forum. The president asked, with a straight face, if she needed an excuse note from him. The audience laughed but the president went ahead and wrote a note anyway (see above). I love the fact that he takes school so seriously that even on the last day, even for something as interesting and educational as a rally with the president, Obama thought it was appropriate to write a note to the school. It’s a great example, especially for parents who take their kids out of school in the middle of the year to go on ski vacations and the like!

Clinton would have given her his phone number.
