http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/06/president-obama-writes-fifth-graders-excuse-note/ If twisted and spun enough some could actually make this leap from reality. Hmmmmm.... I guess you CAN blame everything on President Obama.
That definitely was not where I went when I heard this story. The first thing I though of was COPYCAT! http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/new_jersey&id=8646157 BTW, did you notice the kids were even the same age?
The first thing I thought of when I read this was that this was a set up to publish a feel good story about obama. Then I saw that Christie from Jersey had done the same thing already and my next thought was there must be a Complete Idiots Guide to being a Politican book out there that these guys are reading.
Good catch. Funny how ABC news didn't see the set up or is it they didn't care that it was a manufactored news story to manipulate others with a false image
