This group of Western Albemarle High School students say they skipped school to arrive at 7:30am in order to gain first-in-line status for a President Barack Obama’s speech slated for 12 and a half hours later on Friday, October 29. The truants say their Advanced Placement government teacher pre-approved the effort.

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
