| President Obama wrote a note apologising for his "glib remark" |
When the apology came it was handwritten and on White House stationary.
President Barack Obama sent a personal note of contrition to a university professor after she complained about him mocking art history during a recent speech.
Speaking in Wisconsin on a trip to promote American manufacturing, Mr Obama noted that workers could make more money in "skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree".
Sensing he may have offended academic sensibilities, Mr Obama quickly added: "Now, nothing wrong with an art history degree - I love art history. So I don't want to get a bunch of emails from everybody." » | Raf Sanchez, Washington | Wednesday, February 19, 2014
