Obama "pardons" boy

[Guns Guns Guns]

​

President Obama issued his first official pardon last week — an excuse note for a Minnesota fifth-grader who played hooky to attend one of his appearances.


"Mr. Ackerman — Please excuse Tyler... he was with me!" Obama wrote on 11-year-old Tyler Sullivan's behalf.


The Rochester boy skipped school Friday to attend Obama's visit to a Honeywell factory in Golden Valley with his dad.


"I had a chance to shake his hand. The President said, 'You must be missing school,'" Tyler told local station KARE.


When Tyler admitted to ditching, Obama pulled out a golden slip of his official stationary — stamped with his presidential seal — and scrawled the missive with a felt-tipped black pen.

I suppose it beats going to play video games or smoke cigarettes... Hopefully it conveys a civic message rather than a negative one.

What it should have said....

Dear Teacher: There’s no excuse for me. Love, Barry
