Her father, John Corpus of Green Bay, stood to ask Obama about health care during the president's town hall-style meeting at Southwest High School on Thursday. He told Obama that his daughter was missing school to attend the event and that he hoped she didn't get in trouble. "Do you need me to write a note?" Obama asked. The crowd laughed, but the president was serious. On a piece of paper, he wrote: "To Kennedy's teacher: Please excuse Kennedy's absence. She's with me. Barack Obama." He stepped off the stage to hand-deliver the note -- to Kennedy's surprise. "I thought he was joking until he started walking down," Kennedy said after the event, showing off the note in front of a bank of television cameras. "It was like the best thing ever." The fourth-grader at Aldo Leopold elementary in Green Bay already knew what she was going to do with the note: frame it along with her ticket to the event. She said she'd make a copy for her teacher. Kennedy said she had never seen Obama before. "He's really nice," she said. As part of his latest effort to push for aggressive action on health care this year, Obama said at the town hall that Americans who can't afford health insurance need to be provided with more affordable options -- provided by the government if not private insurers. The president said a public health insurance option, which Republicans strongly oppose, should be included in any plan to keep the insurance companies honest and prices down.

Desetogodišnja Kennedy Corpus ima vrlo uvjerljivu ispričnicu za izostanak iz škole posljednjeg dana nastave - poruku s isprikom upućenu njenoj učiteljici potpisao je osobno američki predsjednik Barack Obama Njezin otac, John Corpus iz Green Baya, upitao je Obamu, tijekom njegova susreta s građanima u tome gradu u četvrtak, za neke probleme zdravstvene skrbi, spomenuvši pritom da je i njegova kćerka htjela nazočiti susretu s predsjednikom te da se nada da neće imati problema zato što je izostala iz škole. "Želite li da napišem ispričnicu?", upitao je Obama. Gomila ljudi oko njih se nasmijala, no predsjednik je bio ozbiljan. Na komad papira napisao je: 'Kennedyjinoj učiteljici: Molim Vas ispričajte Kennedy zbog izostanka. Ona je sa mnom. Barack Obama'. Obama je potom, na iznenađenje djevojčice, sišao s pozornice kako bi joj osobno uručio poruku. "Mislila sam da se šali dok nije počeo silaziti", kazala je Kennedy nakon događaja koji se odvijao u Southwest High School u Green Bayu, pokazujući ispričnicu pred tv kamerama. "To je nešto najljepše što mi se moglo dogoditi", dodala je. Učenica četvrtog razreda osnovne škole već zna gdje će završiti ispričnica: bit će uokvirena zajedno s njezinom ulaznicom za susret građana s predsjednikom. Učiteljici će, kaže, odnijeti kopiju ispričnice koju je već napravila. Po riječima male Kennedy, koja do sada nije vidjela američkog predsjednika, on je "doista drag". - Sviđa vam se članak?
