President Obama Did Something Really Cool During His Visit Here

Tweet

Today, Thursday the 11th of June, President Obama was here in Green Bay Wisconsin. He was starting his tour of whistle stop town hall meetings. Normally I don't watch all that stuff because I wasn't interested in anything the last president had to say. But today they had it on all the local television stations live as it was going on. Anyway, during the course of the question and answer portion of the speech where he took the public's questions a man stood up to ask him something. Before he asked his question though he told Obama that his daughter was missing a half a day of school to be there with him while he saw the president. Before he could finish his question President Obama ask him with a smile if his daughter needed a note to excuse her from school and then asked what her name was. The guy stated to give his name and the president said "No, what is your daughter's name?" The man said "Her name is Kennedy." The president told him what a cool name that was and then took out a pen while asking the man to finish his question. While the guy asked the question the president was writing and when the president gave him his answer, before he went on to the next person, he said "Here you go Kennedy." He actually wrote the little girl a note to excuse her from school as a keepsake and sent it back to her. I thought that was the neatest thing. They were talking about it all over the news today and everyone was clapping after he did that. I don't think I've ever seen a president do something like that during a speech. It was a really nice thing to see and will be something I won't forget. It was really cool for him to do that don't you think?
