Because people don't like her husband. I don't like her husband but I don't see the point of booing her.

I booing an anti-cancer ad is lower.

I can't say I don't like him. I've never met him so I have no basis to draw that conclusion.
I don't think I would Boo either. I haven't been behind the scenes to draw a conclusion regarding
what I think Obama may or may not have done and I believe it's disrespectful
to subject his wife to that kind of unkindness.

But then it's NASCAR. who really knows what that booing was about.

I agree. I think it's just sort of pointless and disrespectful to boo Mrs. Obama. For the most part, I think First Ladies have been treated as apolitical ambassadors for charitable causes. They've mostly been not targeted for protests.

I guess the NASCAR crowd needed some excitement since watching cars go around and around in circles is a bit boring. :yawn:
