You’ve heard the story by now. A father took his 10-year old daughter to see President Obama speak last week. He mentioned that his daughter had ditched school to come with him and that she’d probably get in trouble. Protocol be damned. The President wrote a note to her teacher.
It read: “To Kennedy’s teacher: Please excuse Kennedy’s absence. She’s with me. Barack Obama.”
It was a touching, heartwarming story. But what has gone unreported is the fact that President Obama figured he was on a roll and started writing excuse notes for other people:
“To the American People: Please excuse Joe Biden. He’s with me. Barack Obama.”
“To all Muslims: Please excuse America for the evil things it does. I apologize. Barack Obama.”
“To my half-brother George Obama: Please excuse me for letting you live in a wretched hut in Nairobi. You’re on your own. Barack Obama.”
Can you think of any others he should write?
