Little girl gets big note from Obama
Press-Gazette • June 11, 2009, 2:23 p.m.

One 10-year-old Wisconsin girl has a rock-solid excuse for missing the last day of school: a personal note to her teacher from President Barack Obama.


John Corpus of Green Bay stood to ask Obama a question about health care during his town hall-style meeting. He told Obama his daughter Kennedy missed school to attend the event and he hoped she didn’t get in trouble.

Obama offered to write a note to her teacher. The crowd laughed, but Obama followed through.

On a piece of paper, he wrote: "Please excuse Kennedy’s absence. She’s with me. Barack Obama."

Kennedy says getting the note "was like the best thing ever" and she plans to frame it. She says she’ll make a copy to give her teacher.
