A weak ass manual in the White House is like a normal manual anywhere else, I guess, if you're into the leader of the free world.
Yes, this is a twitter report, but you can get skate info from that odd social forum faster than any news outlet. So, anyway, turns out Tony Hawk is in the White House today. You can see it on his twitter: "Hi. I am inside the White House gates eating Frosted Flakes and about to do press. You heard it here first. Yes, I brought my skateboard," he wrote. The event appears to be a visit along with other athletes and entertainers to meet with President Obama for a story themed "First Fathers." Major press event aside, the Birdman found time to roll a little when another person on Twitter called him out. "@aplusk called me out to skate the halls. Snagged a weak manual on the way to CNN while nobody was looking." Kind of funny...I thought someone might be interested in this. By the way, remember it's Father's Day on Sunday.
