Michelle Obama booed at Ford 400

Boos for first lady Michelle Obama were heard amid the roar of engines before the start of the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The boos could be heard as Obama and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, were saying, "Gentlemen, start your engines" to begin the race Sunday, the South Florida Sun Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale reported.

Obama and Biden, grand marshals for the race, were invited to NASCAR's final event of the season to bring awareness to their Joining Forces initiative, which supports military families.

The women had addressed the drivers at a meeting before presiding over the ceremonial starting of the engines.

"I know this is a big day for all of you so we're not going to take up your time because you need to be focused," Obama told the drivers. "We just wanted to stop by and say thank you. NASCAR has just been amazing in terms of its support not just today, but every day, of military families."

At least Nascar was smart enough to put her and Jill Biden behind some kids and a veteran to shield them, knowing the crowd wouldn't boo the kids and the veteran as much as if they had just let Mooch and Jill start the race by themselves.

Just sit on your hands.

Stand up and turn your back.

A stony silence is worse than a boo. Moochelle went there to get a specific photo-op, and she got exactly what she wanted.

We will see more and more of Mooch in the coming year. Polls show she is more popular than Bark and they will use her for what ever they can get.

She seems to revel in stirring people up.

Exactly. Look where she came from and who she's married to.

To me, she always looks like she smells something bad. What a foul person she must be.
