I know somebody very well whose kid got a similar written excuse from a certain vice president, some years ago. I saw the note. It was pretty cool.

Dear Congress - please excuse Barack from your meeting or whatever it is you do there. Play with your blackberries or do tetris.

Oh yeah, don't be all like we don't ever play tetris when we are in session, this is America! with me, because I know you do.

I seen you do it. A bajillion times. Stupids.

Anyway, Barack is with me. All day. So suck it, haters.

I'm now imaging LP and Barack holding hands, running through a field of wildflowers, spinn round in circles, with this in the background

I hope they kept the note and saved it instead of giving it to the school!

And he knows how to form AND articulate a coherent sentence, too. I swear, when I read things like this about the Pres. I feel so much more relaxed than I have is soooo long.

From my twitter feed:

President Obama: Sure, I'm not a ten-year-old girl and I'm not currently enrolled at any school, but we should totally exchange notes.

I hope they kept the note and saved it instead of giving it to the school!

Young Kennedy said she was going to give her teacher a photocopy and frame the original.
