Related: About this forumObama gets testy with pro-Clinton crowd for yelling at elderly Trump protester
http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-trailguide-updates-obama-gets-testy-with-pro-clinton-crowd-1478299274-htmlstory.htmlPresident Obama got testy with a crowd of Hillary Clinton supporters in eastern North Carolina when they began shouting at a man in the audience holding a Donald Trump sign....
Hold up! Hold up! Hold up! the president insisted. The crowd finally calmed enough to hear his message.
The man with the sign was doin nothin, Obama said, noting that besides being peaceful, the protester looked to be both elderly and a military veteran.
We live in a country that respects free speech, Obama said. We ought to respect that.
Now, that's class!

We are willing to gently chide our own when we stray from our guiding principles.
This NEVER happens with the opposition party.
Obama is the anti-Trump. What a great President he has been.
