The Chicago Sun-Times reports on Obama's attack on Mitt Romney concerning the Chicago Teachers strike:
NBC's Savannah Guthrie asked Obama, "Can you really say that teachers' unions aren't slowing the pace of reform?"
Here's the amazing response from Barack Obama:
"I just really get frustrated when I hear teacher bashing as evidence of reform. My sister is a former teacher, and I can tell you that they work so hard. They're putting money out of their own pockets in the classroom every single day. They're not doing it for the pay. And, you know, what is absolutely true is if we've got a bad teacher, we should be able to train them to get better. And if they can't get better, they should be able to get fired."
According to Obama, teachers don't want high pay. They are above self-interest!
