First Lady booed at NASCAR race

[mary_bobo]

Well, what do those cars driving in circles do?

Go fast. There are three (I think) road courses in Nascar and then they turn both directions. I like those races better because my husband and I, in our youth, raced sports car for fun.

There are many images of this at NASCAR events, but no I have never been to a NASCAR race. I did go, once, to a race in the lower brackets of the sport (don’t know what that was called) and it was riffe with really interesting attire. It was quite an experience.

Looking for a number.

Most followers of NASCAR are southern Democrats turned Repubican and tend to be very conservative on social and fiscal issues. They are also emotional folks that have a strong connection to the military. It is apparent that this “cause” that the Obama’s have taken up is an election year poly to try to pull military/veteran votes. They have done NOTHING for the military other than this. When was the last time you heard of Michelle or Barack visiting wounded soldiers at Bethesda? Its right down the street. Bush used to go visit wounded soldiers all the time. This Administration is using returning veterans as a voting ploy and its disgusting. I would have booed if I was there.

This discussion really feeds the sterotype of NASCAR fans. I certainly don’t approve of the booing. Witholding applause would have been a better option. The above brings to mind how these people reacted to Barry’s “folks clinging to their guns and religion” back on the campaign trail in San Francisco. I’m sure Michelle’s comment on “first time feeling good as an American” might still be in their memories too. Still no reason to boo. Voting Barry out of office will be much more effective in the long run.

So they work 40-60 hours a week to try to support their families. They are more likely to attend church and to support our military. And they see Mrs. Obama fly off to Paris to shop with her kids (listed as “senior staff”), spend a few weeks in Martha’s Vineyard to unwind, attend hip-hop concerts with hubby in the White House, having to listen to Barack complain about his lousy golf game this past week-end and I could go on. And she is introduced at one of the few sactuaries they have left for enjoyment.

I’m surprised their were so few boos.

Since Obama and the Democrats showed utter disdain for at least 50% of America by ramming through “Obamacare” without a single Republican vote and through the use of Senate rule manipulation, I really don’t care about what is respectful with this cast of fools anymore. I think we should boo them until they leave Washington DC.

So NASCAR fans are accused of displaying the same poor taste that Obama fans did at the 2009 presidential inauguration when they booed Bush?

Of course. It’s Bush’s Fault ™.

Exactly.

I felt it was in VERY poor taste to boo Bush when he left office.

They cheered the soldiers, but booed the first lady. Now that’s telling you how unhappy the little people are with President Obama.

No political researcher would find this credible

Queens may well be above politics now, but the First Lady has very much become a political position. Michelle Obama represents here husband more than she represents America.

Not since Hillary Clinton. Michelle Obama’s main initiative is promoting healthy eating. It’s not very political

I’d boo her. It wouldn’t matter. She’s like her Hubby; arrogant, coincident, and destoying America. Yes, America; the Greatest country in the world. Boo her.

That is very disrespectful. If I have a disagreement with someone, I don’t go scold their spouse and neither should anyone else

Do they always race in a counter-clockwise manner? In Australia do they race in the opposite direction?

Yeah, I noticed that … water circling the drain in the bath tub behaves the same way north of the equator versus opposite rotation south of the equator.

You, Patrice, evidently have manners, which seem to be sorely lacking these days.

To me, it was mainly a non-event - booing says more about the boo-ers than the person who is booed - until Rush added his remarks, that is…

No biased political researcher would find this credible…

A political scientist would find the reaction credible, probably non quantifiable and probably non usable for a systematic statement.

…Not since Hillary Clinton. Michelle Obama’s main initiative is promoting healthy eating. It’s not very political…

Considering how she is trying to associate it with government control it is very political

…That is very disrespectful. If I have a disagreement with someone, I don’t go scold their spouse and neither should anyone else

She was disrespectful by forcing her political presence on a captive audience and she got a political response.

“for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country”

Oh, boy. Michelle Obama is a disgrace, no matter how we parse it.

Alls I could hear was the roar of the engines.

Question for Bubba J: Is watching reruns of NASCAR on television just as exciting as watching a race live on television?

Not at all, they are accused of booing the 1st and 2nd ladies of the US, who were there promoting a worthy cause.

Simple,

John

So if Obama showed up at a hockey game and was cheered, that would then mean that people love him, right? Wrong.

Activism, not government control

She was disrespectful by forcing her political presence on a captive audience and she got a political response.

She’s not being disrespectful and she doesn’t have a political presence.
