Was the booing rude? Yes, most definitely. But, what I can't understand is how this behavior can be considered as racist toward Mrs. Obama and simply rude to Mrs. Biden? That is a conundrum. Hmm. Do you think, possibly, that the commenter is just trying to 'stir up' more anger? It can't be racist to one and rude to the other. It was just rude—no racism involved.
Merely remove the 'iretr' and you have the sentiments of every American who could care less about a bunch of drunk redneck racists watching gas guzzlers go around in a circle, claiming the nonsense is exciting.
NASCAR is about as exciting as watching crosses burn in someone's pasture...and the very same people are involved.
What a terrible example these hecklers with little self discipline and class are to their own children, and to the children in the audience of that event. Now we know howe "stupid" gets passed to successive generations.
It is foolish for people to automatically assume that Nascar fans are stupid and/or racist. Do you really think the people who live in the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Miami are a bunch of ignorant rednecks? Obama and Biden weren't merely "booed" for being Democrats; the crowd was showing its regard for these two "ladies" disingenuous campaign in which they pretend to give a crap about our service members and their families. One thing you CAN assume about the Nascar crowd: I'll bet almost everyone there either has a loved one in the service or knows someone who does. How many service members do you think are in the Obamas' or Bidens' social circle? If they really cared, they'd be down at the VA seeing and comforting the injured, garnering support amongst Congress and their other rich friends to continue and expand programs for Vets & their families(not just giant campaign contributions.)They wouldn't be plastering themselves on TV, going "on tour" to promote this flimsy ad campaign, and they wouldn't be currently attempting to suck up to middle America by embracing things like Nascar and country music.
Let me say this as plainly as possible so that you elites can understand: just because someone is white, has a blue collar job and goes to church, doesn't mean they are a racist. Actually, I think many of you who voted for Obama have it backwards. You voted for a candidate whose main area of political expertise was/is backroom deals, with no legislative experience and ties to questionable individuals and organizations, which were never properly investigated. And you believed he was somehow different than his cronies and rivals, just because he's (half) black.That makes YOU the racists.
yep your right ,, kinda reminds the way RUMMYFELDS and BUSSHYWACKER treated the PAT TILLMAN family. and dont forget about JESSICA LYNCH and that big story. and you talk about pretend to care about the military.
Regarding the Obama/Biden social circle and its military ties: I guess you've forgotten about the Bidens' son Bo, who served on active duty in Afghanistan. How many of the Republican cnadidates can say anything resembling that? [in case you don't know, the answer to that trick question is "none"]
You are so ignorant. All you are doing is pouring out your fox talking points. You may be church going, but it is clear that you have a problem with the truth. Michele and Jill have been working with military families since they came into office. They are not just starting now because it is almost election season. What they are doing is patriotic and it is the right thing to do for our military families.
It is sad that you republicans cannot bring yourself to do anything that benefit this great nation if it has any connection to Obama. You are willing to set this country on fire in other to defeat Obama.
I hope You republicans reap the reword of your evil ways. I hope a lot of your type-ignorant and retrogressive, will not jump off a bridge rather than see Obama's second inurguration in Jan,2013.
Your statement does not make sense. These women are not the first lady and second lady of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, rather of the United States. They should have a right to go any where and every where to promote programs that benefits our military.
Other first ladies have been able to go anywhere in the country without being bowed, why are we now making exception for these ladies.
The boo-birds amply demonstrated that they are typical right-wing nuts that moronically oppose anything from Obama even when it is in support of something they claim to favor. They are not only ignorant but hypocrites of the first rank.
If Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden want to support the troops, then they should have allowed the wonderful soldier and his family to do the call out by themselves. They shouldn't have interjected themselves into the ceremonies. The Dems in the House earlier this year tried to gut the funding the military uses to advertise and the Dems and president want to gut the military to pre-WWII levels. And those who continue to blame Bush should do a fact check, it's the Dems who held both house of congress during the last term of Bush, that's when spending went through the roof.
they were invited by nascar and the news media, heres a fact you can chew on ,,,, if our military was cut in half we would still be most powerful nation on earth. iam sorry i cant remember their names but 4 retired generals all say that cuts in military spending would not hurt. P.B.S is the best place to get at least some accurate news,, are they 100% correct all the time NO.

Hmm, how about Jill Biden's son?
