President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama went to D.C.’s Capital City Public Charter School this afternoon to read to a group of second-graders. The White House sent out a partial transcript of the President’s remarks:

“You’re excellent listeners. And the reason we came to visit, A, we wanted to get out of the White House; B, we wanted to see you guys; but C, the other thing we wanted to tell everybody is that this kind of innovative school, the outstanding work that’s being done here by the entire staff, and the parents who are so active and involved, is an example of how all our schools should be.”

Yeah, we can imagine they might have wanted to get out of the White House today.

D.C. Wire’s Hamil Harris reports that one of the students apparently asked the Obamas about voting rights for the District. Awesome.
