Principal: Anti-Obama Facebook group 'a joke'
Advertisements [?]
Source: Concord Monitor (New Hampshire)

The Winnisquam Regional High School principal's membership in an anti-Barack Obama Facebook group is being called "unconscionable" by a teacher who challenged the district's decision not to show the president's back-to-school speech in September.

Principal Ronna Cadarette's public Facebook profile, which identified her as an administrator in the district, listed her as a member of one group.

The group's title, which references public figures who died in 2009, is "Dear Lord, This Year You Took My Favorite Actor, Patrick Swazie (sic). You Took My Favorite Actress Farah (sic) Fawcett. You Took My Favorite Singer, Michael Jackson. I Just Wanted to Let You Know, My Favorite President is Barack Obama. Amen."

The image next to the group's name shows a picture of President Obama with a hammer and sickle and reads "Vote for Obama . . . Because Socialism Worked So Well for the USSR."
