The article states that Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were introduced they received a smattering of boos.When the military veteran was introduced, he received resounding applause.



Don't try and confuse people with your facts.

If you're breathing and you vote Republican, you're getting what you deserve.

Booing is only the tip of the iceberg.
The supercommittee, at the behest of Republicans such as John McCain, has been advocating cutting the military's health care benefits. Because while the interests of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin are sacrosanct, the actual people who serve are there to be thrown under the bus. Remember McCain was also the guy who opposed the GI bill on grounds that we can't afford it.

I agree with you and thought it was totally classless and rude. Although I'm much more conservative politically than either Michelle Obama or Jill Biden, I think they should be treated with respect.

As are Michelle Obama and Jill Biden. Seriously? I hated Bush as a president but was mortified when he got booed at that baseball game. That's classless. I too am not surprised it happened at a Nascar event.

Even more to the point, these women don't hold an office. They are the wives of office holders. They have some ceremonial responsibilities but otherwise are not politicians. Boo if you must, but it is incredibly disrespectful and unbecoming.

Haha. I guess you weren't at the first ball game in the history of Nationals stadium. Our former president was booed roundly and it was all on espn.

Would your response be the same if we were talking about Laura Bush?
