Nutty Teacher Freaks over President Obama 'Slight'

A teacher/President Obama fan in North Carolina went a bit overboard in her support of the president, and one of her students caught it all on tape. The unidentified teacher works for North Rowan High School, part of the Rowan-Salisbury School System. When the teacher presented her class with a "Fact of the Day," that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney had bullied a classmate in prep school, a student asked, "Didn't Obama bully someone, though?" The teacher responded, "Not to my knowledge." The student was referring to a passage in Obama's book, Dreams From My Father, where he wrote about pushing a little girl down. Most people would probably agree that his was not a case of bullying, but of frustration.

After several students agreed about the incident from the president's childhood, the teacher and several students started to bicker about the right to speak about the president. When the student pushed the fact that he had simply asked a question, the teacher got angry. She said (speaking of Romney), "Stop! Stop! Because there's no comparison. He's running for president. Obama is the president." One particular student was really pushing the teacher on the issue of fairness, and he made very good points, some other kids were talking in lower voices but supporting him. In one shocking outburst, the teacher says, "You got to realize, this man is wanting to be what Obama is. There's no comparison."
