President 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. Obama was speaking on a college campus in Fayetteville when the Trump supporter held up his sign, spurring Clinton supporters to shout their objections. 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.”The crowd turned on a dime, suddenly supporting Obama’s profession of support for the 1st Amendment.
