Obama Note For Tyler Sullivan, Boy 11 Who Missed School

Obama Note For Tyler Sullivan, Boy 11 Who Missed School - Tyler Sullivan wasn't in school on Friday, but it's fairly safe to say he'll be excused. After all, he has handwritten note from President Barack Obama himself.

The fifth-grade student missed class to attend Obama's speech at the Honeywell plant near Minneapolis with his father on June 1.


Not only did Tyler snag a front-row seat and shake Obama's hand, but the 11-year-old walked away with a personal note containing the presidential seal.

"Mr. Ackerman -- Please excuse Tyler... he was with me!" Obama wrote before he signed paper and handed it back to Tyler.
