After all, it's only signed by President Barack Obama. Personally and all that.
I wonder if the teacher had a heart attack reading it?
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."
Hell, I'd probably faint. Or at least fall out of my chair. Or something.
Talk about "appeal to authority" ... hyuk hyuk.
