Scranton High School Class President Colin Sultry may lose his office for skipping school to see Senator Brack Obama!

Sultry and fellow student Joey Daniel skipped their gym class on Monday to be with Senator Obama who stopped for breakfast at the Glider Diner in Scranton. Both students spoke wth the Senator and even got him to sign an excuse for their leaving school. But school officials suspended both for a day.

Sultry said he was also told to write his resignation as Class President. He said he did so because he wasn't given any choice. The 18-year-old Senior says he expected to be punished for skipping classes but does not want to give up his class position.
