I respectfully disagree, the purpose was to move into red state territory and try to save Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia for Obama/Biden (male/male).  So no, I do not at all agree with your bottom line, but you are welcome to your opinion. Perhaps the audience was still smarting from "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that [b]they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations[/b]."[/quote]

They were in Florida. Nowhere near Pennsylvania or Ohio. Michelle Obama chose supporting military familes as her personal cause from the very beginning of the administration. She has been all over the country in support of that cause. Maybe you feel that is nothing more than a re-election ploy and, as you said to me, you are welcome to your opinion. When Laura Bush chose to focus on reading, she was not subject to similar charges. I assume she occasionally read to children in blue states. But, your response shows great solidarity with the those who booed the two women. You are so consumed by your dislike of them that you cannot get beyond it to see that they are doing something that you would otherwise support (unless you are also part of the anti-military right). There was very little about George W. Bush that I liked, but even I could acknowledge that he made a positive contribution to the fight against AIDS in Africa. It would never enter my mind to boo him at an event where he promoted that fight, let alone attempt to justify someone else's booing.
