Green Bay, Wis. -- Ten-year-old Kennedy Corpus has a rock-solid excuse for missing the last day of school: a personal note to her teacher from President Obama.Her father, John Corpus of Green Bay, stood to ask Obama about healthcare during the president's town hall-style meeting at Southwest High School on Thursday. He told Obama that his daughter was missing school to attend the event and that he hoped she didn't get in trouble.
"Do you need me to write a note?" Obama asked. The crowd laughed, but the president was serious.On a piece of paper, he wrote: "To Kennedy's teacher: Please excuse Kennedy's absence. She's with me. Barack Obama."He stepped off the stage to hand-deliver the note -- to Kennedy's surprise.
"I thought he was joking until he started walking down," Kennedy said after the event, showing off the note in front of a bank of television cameras. "It was like the best thing ever."The fourth-grader at Aldo Leopold elementary in Green Bay already knew what she was going to do with the note: Frame it along with her ticket to the event. She said she'd make a copy for her teacher.Kennedy said she had never seen Obama before. "He's really nice," she said.
** OK. Maybe it's no big deal.... but here's the stuff...... About five years ago when Bush was running for re-erection he visited Oshkosh. Sorta. I mean, there was a 'set-piece' show.... and then the whole fucking motorcade 'sped' through town. Nobody really saw him, except for a few Republicans at the meeting. And some of Max's friends who happened to be working at Leon's

...Well somebody must have told Bush that they have really good custard, and they do, so the Presidential motorcade pulls into to Leon's for a couple of cones ..
(Hey! I am really not making this up!)
.. and Prez Bush has a photo- op with Max's friend Rachael, buys a big cone for $1.75.....AND WAITS FOR THE QUARTER CHANGE!
Well.... I guess he needed the spare change for the war or something..... rather than a tip for a poor High School Student. Cheap son-of-a-bitch!
But here's the real deal.....
Dear President Obama
Would you please write a note to my boss telling her that I need to leave work early today?

So, Obama can write an excuse for a kid to get off school, but who's going to write an excuse for Obama throwing the LGBT community under the bus...and running over them a few times? Not to mention, he could use a few letters to excuse the rest of his broken campaign promises and his support of MANY of Bush's policies. Hmmm....nice guy, that Obama.
Maybe he needed that quarter for that evening's drinking game, ever think of that?
And good job with the Oshkosh map. Now Our Enemies® will know where to find Wisconsin!
Nunly, you so angry when you're angry. ;-)
People like Bush don't get rich passing up their quarters in change, you know.
Next on Hannity: Obama tries to lift Black SAT scores by encouraging little white children to skip school.
You know he would!
Sharry is funny :~)
That Obama was in Bloomington last year trying to get elected--he was a star then and he's managed to hang on to some of that stardust--in spite of pissing off the left (the true left) in the party.
Hey, thanks for stopping by my place. Glad to see you blogging again!
I wonder if he's write us a note promising full retirement with full medical benefits starting now? I know some hot young people who'd be better at my job than I am anymore.
