I used to be a school principal, and I would have accepted a note from the President Obama in a heartbeat!

No wonder they are getting extinct.
In 1,000 words or less, tell us what the GOP dinos retort will be when the economy rebounds and bounds and bounds ..
Go ahead – these party relics are somewhat predictable.

What a cute story, that student has the best pass ever issued. I bet my 4th grader would love to use that note. It will be a moment that John Corpus’ daughter will have forver. I love the PREZ! All you haters can just grow up or go straight to detention.

They do need a life GWP. Oh, and my kids are in school until the 18th. Yes all the kids were brainwashed and if I’m not mistaken her FATHER was with her so if anybody is encouraging misbehaviour it would be her FATHER.
Just the usual “my party is screwed up and going no where” so let me attack any one who voted for the president.

“Aren’t most schools out for the summer?”
Not in most of Wisconsin, where our Republican legislature, in partnership with our tourism industry, forces schools to start after September 1 in order to make maximum vacation profit. Add to that the inevitable snow days, and we often extend school into mid-June.

I think this man is a danger to this country and the world. I think he is not worthy of the office he currently holds (heck, he isn’t worthy of being a dog catcher in a one horse town), but I have to admit, that was pretty cool for the kid to get a note from the President.

This is not something to criticize Obama over. Nor is it something to drool over and gush with praise.
Is it newsworthy? Probably not. But it’s a somewhat charming story. Let’s not try to make something more of it than that.
