I stand behind no one in my opposition to Obama's presidency and the damage he has done and continues to do to the interests of the US. That said, I think booing any First Lady who appears at a public event for ceremonial reasons without making political statements is just bad manners. It's also counter-productive - rudeness like this just makes opponents of Obama look ill-mannered and unreasonably hostile.

Is there a limit to how respectful one has to be to people determined to ruin your country and take your freedoms?

Ever hear of "...enemies domestic"?

NASCAR people are down to earth folk. They don't put on airs. They don't suffer fools gladly.

...Agreed. I try to to stay off threads like these because there’s always some flamers to put up with. Trying to reason with them is a waste of time.

Standing there and having a look of contempt on her face during the playing of the National anthem IS MAKING AN UNWELCOME POLITICAL STATEMENT.

Respect is earned. She ain't got mine, pure and simple. She thinks mainstream America should welcome her dedication to progressive socialism and trailer park behavior with equanimity?
