Then we discovered his “hectic schedule” excuse was a giant load of crap. (That’s the technical term, right?)
Since we know the dog didn’t eat our Pinocchio in chief’s homework — teleprompters just aren’t that appetizing — the Twitterverse decided to speculate about what Obama’s next excuse might be. Hey, Obama why not try out one of these #ObamaExcuses4SkippingNAACP? They’re a lot more believable than “sorry, too busy.”
