What’s he doing? Trying to teach O’Mama math to grade schoolers? Jobs lost are jobs saved. ROFL!
Pretty amazing president. COnnects with citizens like no other. We finally have a leader.
#1 Jokes on you. Your comment makes you look like a loser. A sore one.
#2, Yes I lost when I voted for O’Mama. ROFL
<i>COnnects with citizens like no other. We finally have a leader.</i>
Charisma wtihout a clue is like that. Free Ice Cream For Everybody!
That being said, I did think the note was classy.
OK guys, you need to put the old editor back in. This one still doen’t work worth a crap.
[Until we can find the source of the problem, if you turn off JavaScript in your browser, the problem will go away. – ed.]
Wow, 11 out of 10 for style!
That made that kids year! 🙂
That is awesome, and super cool too
#2, Dallas,
I agree, Obama is showing he is a President for the people, not just the special corporate interests. How refreshing.
Damn, this right orientation id screwy. I don’t why it is happening, but I wish the Web Site Administrator would fix it. I’m starting to feel like a right wing nut with semi-circular logic.
#4 – Wait a sec, there’s free ice cream?
#5 ABSOLUTELY! This editor sucks!
This crap was so cute it had to be staged!
Question is, would he still have done it if the girl’s name wer Regan?
I thought what the note really said was insightful.
“Dear Kennedy’s Teacher, please excuse Kennedy today because she is with me, the great and all powerful Barak. And by the way, please make sure she is doing well in her Chinese language class, because that’s were all the jobs will be once I am finished with this country.
Sincerely,
Barak HUSSIN Obama (Notice the new “Arab Friendly)”

Good Point MikeN. I do wonder if he would have wrote the note if the child’s name was Regan or Cavuto, or Hannity,or Rove and etc.
I don’t think anyone would be stupid enough to name their girl Cavuto, Hannity or Rove.
Where am I supposed to type…Oh there it is. Whoa.
Anyway, #15, the people who would do that are certainly stupid enough.
I’m a Republican and even I admit that it was a classy, touching moment. Well done Mr. President.
Ah that was cool
/Fire the ass hat who managed to screw up[ the site again!

[Damn good idea Patrick. We’re working on making it like this all the time. – ed.]
#19, ROTFLMAO
Wow you’d think they couldn’t screw up something as simple as an HTML textarea box. But they did.
[WE didn’t screw up anything. The new version of WordPress instigated the problem. We’re working on. We don’t like it any better than you do. – ed.]
@19 LOL
Maybe it was staged and maybe bnot but even I will give him credit for a simple, nice gesture.
Now… as for the return of the “I’m having a stroke” editor….ARGH!!!!!!!
[Be patient. We know it sucks. – ed.]
ok, there’s really nothing wrong with the editor if you just don’t look at what you are typing
#19, how did you do that?
Hannity sounds like it might be a name, but Cavuto and Rove? Then again I can’t believe Kennedy or Reagan either.
How is it that the wing nuts even manage to turn this into fodder for their hatred of a president with a brain?
It’s just a cute little nothing of a non-story. It makes our president seem a bit more personal. Why must you make it into something ugly?
And yes Dallas, it is nice to have a president who can connect with people. We had a vice president who connected with people previously, but he only used buckshot as the connector, which is a tad different somehow.
Sadly, Scott, you have it exacty right. These pitiful populist politically correct imitations of Brown Shirts roaming the streets of discourse – have nothing to offer – even unto themselves.
Which is why they sit by the wayside of history watching it move on past their tawdry cul-de-sac. Crying in their beer. Whining to their buddy on the next barstool.
I’m sure Obama will be blamed for inspiring a nation of scofflaw children to skip school, but one thing I noticed was that he displayed a bit of multitasking skill. If it were me, I probably would have asked the guy to repeat the question because I was too busy writing the note.
If our children grow up to be anarchists thumbing their noses at authority, outlawing school prayer was the first step, and this presidential pardon for skipping school was the clincher.
Assuming the note has some monetary value, who legally owns the note? the child or the teacher
How is it that true believers even manage to turn this into fodder for their love of a president?
It’s just a cute little nothing of a non-story. It makes our president seem a bit more personal. Why must you make it into something spectactular?
