From CNN White House Producer Xuan Thai GREEN BAY, Wisconsin (CNN) - How do you get away with skipping classes on your last day of school? Make sure you get your hands on a presidential pardon. President Barack Obama held a town hall meeting on Thursday in Green Bay, Wisconsin to discuss his health care agenda - but he also took a little time to write an all-important "get out of school" note. A young girl named Kennedy attended the town hall with her father, who was called on to ask a question. Her father, John Corpus, started his query saying he hoped his daughter wouldn't get into trouble for missing the last day of school. "Do you need me to write a note?" Obama asked.
Clearly assuming that Obama was just kidding, Corpus continued with his question - only to be interrupted by the president. "No, no, I'm serious. What's your daughter's name?" Obama said, as he started to write a note. "I'm going to write to Kennedy's teacher." He then walked over to the girl and handed her the note: "To Kennedy’s Teacher, Please excuse Kennedy’s absence…she’s with me. Barack Obama" No word yet on whether the president's get out of school free card did the trick. Filed under: President Obama Wisconsin
