    Raleigh, N.C. — Governor Pat McCrory issued the following statement after President Barack Obama mischaracterized North Carolina's commitment to education during a brief visit to Charlotte today:

    "I was disappointed to learn that the President used a portion of his quick visit today to unfairly and incorrectly malign our education system in the great state of North Carolina, then hop back on Air Force One and return to Washington.

    "The facts are clear. I signed one of the largest teacher raises in state history and more students are graduating high school now than during any time the three Democrat governors who preceded me were in office.

    "I would urge the President in the future to stick with the facts — and refrain from 'editorializing' on a quick trip funded by taxpayers.

    "I invite the President to come back and spend some time to visit our great universities, community colleges and K-12 schools so he can see our successes firsthand."
