Good Morning America on Monday repeated White House talking points in regard to the booing of Michelle Obama at a NASCAR event on Sunday. News reader Josh Elliott played a clip of the booing and then parroted, "The White House says it was a chaotic event. It was not clear, perhaps, what the boos were specifically for."
The Today show didn't cover the event at all. On the Early Show, Jeff Glor linked, "Some people booed [Michelle Obama and Jill Biden] when they showed up last night. They were on hand to honor military troops and their families." So, is the implication that NASCAR fans were booing the military?
Co-host Erica Hill later repeated, "At other sporting events, this has happened as well. Not everybody always happy but they were there as part of their joining forces initiative to highlight military families."

Wonder what Mr. Busbee had to say about the left booing Sarah Palin, a mother; and her child at a basketball game in 2008.
LOL
Some of the comments are hilarious!

Jay,
I know you will have a job tomorrow, but you dont desearve it. I will never read you again, and Yahoo Sports just proved how liberal they are too. All of you should pack a tent and head on down to which ever OWS camp out is closest to you. The 1ST lady is a racist woman, the Dems are racist, and the her husband is the worst President ever. What did she expect. Oh and free speech is only free if you agree with it. Blow it out your A$$!

To Jay Busbee:
They and we don’t need an excuse to Boo Michelle Nobama! She and her husband bring it on themselves by trying to tell everybody else how to live while they waste tax payer’s money doing whatever they want when the country is going to hell in a hand basket! Did Michelle really think NASCAR Fans were going to forgive her husband’s quote of “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them”?
The only reason she is the worst first lady is because the media, people like you Mr Jay Busbee, didn’t do their job and properly vet and report the facts that Nobama was and still is not qualified to be running the country! Who spends 2.6 Million tax dollars and 1 Million dollars of his own money trying to prevent the public from having access to the records that ALL other candidates have provided freely? One only does that if one has something to hide the would be so bad that the liberal press would actually have to report on it.
Personally, I don’t need two disbarred lawyers occupying the WH trying to tell me how to live my life when if they had actually read and followed the Constitution they would know its not their job or within their power to do so!
Lastly Mr Jay Busbee, since I am guessing you are a liberal, who gave you the right to take away our opinion and First Amendment Rights to Free Speech to Boo whomever we feel needs to be boo’d?

I love how liberals get so offended then show their offense with nothing but reciting tired stereotypes. Isn’t that what you are so against? And just a little btw, I live in the south in a normal, free-standing home. MOst of the ones who live in trailers down here are all democrats. They are the ones who rob social security with fakes disabilities, live off of welfare and unemployment and covet anything people who work harder than them have. Remember, it was the southern democrats who blocked the civil rights act and there are still tons of them down here.
Love this one!

“An overwhelmingly white fan base,” so what’s the problem? No one argued about the fact that almost 100% of blacks voted for the black candidate during the 2008 elections. I’m getting sick and tired of the demonization of whites.

Boo women? What? She looks like a man... and if married to a lame president, she deserves to be booed since her coward husband wouldnt show up to a nascar event

remember, this is the president who said the conservatives are clinging to their “guns and religion”, and he thinks he deserves the respect of the presidency. what an out of touch socialist clown he is. can hardly wait for “electric car nascar” which will be promoted by his sorry administration. the electric car race will last no more than 10 laps, and speeds will not exceed 40 mph, and will occur during the winter with snow tires. obama thinks the stands will be full for his kind of racing.

Jay Busbee,
What planet are you from. Apparently the Obama’s planet. I am glad whoever BOO’D, BOO’D! You talk about respect for women, ya got to be kidding. They tied in her introduction along with the Vet and his family along with Biden. If she was introduced by herself the BOO’s would have been way worse. She could care less about vets it was all about votes.
To get respect you have to earn respect and she has not earned any so far. Read some of her past essays on her feelings toward the military and whites and maybe you will begin to understand what happened.
The BOOING was the only way any of the people there could show their absolute lack of respect for this person, not first lady, but person. She is no first lady to me.
She does not walk on water or command any different appreciation or respect than the kid at Burger King, McDonalds or KFC, that takes your order. She is just an ill tempered pampered female that happens to be married to the dude in the white house.
For goodness sake, she pays a guy $15,000.00 to do her makeup for special functions, has taken 7 vacations all over the world while at our white house on our nickel, flys the dog in a seperate jet, because Muslims want allow dogs in the same transport as them, yet she has the gawl to tell us to dig deep and give more to people that don’t do crap.
She is usless.

Anyone who believes the jerk who wrote this “You don’t boo women” would have had a problem with fans booing Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, or Laura Bush is deluding themselves,. This jerk is just another whiny liberal who always comes to the defense of his masters, the Obamas - just like every other schmuck in journalism.

Busbee’s full of crap. Ms. Obama and Ms. Biden . . . two of the most partisan of today’s crop of Washington liberals most certainly deserved to be booed . . . early and often!
Besides, Ms. Obama apparently wasted a fair amount of Carl Edwards’ time before the race “schoolin’” on the basics of the sport. READ A FREAKIN BOOK ABOUT IT WHILE YOU’RE JUNKETING AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE, MICHELLE!

I have an answer. How about not showing up? In a situation like this there’s a chance fans will boo. You put yourself out there and you have to understand this could happen. It’s not that big of a deal anyway. Let’s face it many people are tired of Obama and Michelle flying around the country spending money like drunken sailors. I’m sick of it. This President has bankrupted the nation and divided people more than any other has. November 2012 can’t come soon enough for me. Enough with this liberal garbage President and his zombie like followers.

Jay, she was booed at the 2009 World Series in New York. Also in St. Louis in 2011, at the World Series. So who harms NASCAR? The fans or you who write negative articles about, attempting to make out NASCAR fans as if they are not the mainstream?
stop spending 1 hour ago
this wasn’t a $35,000 per plate fundraising dinner, it was nascar a racing event. fans drink beer (not wine and champagne) and they get roudy. they weren’t booing Michelle’s ethinicity, they were booing her husbands policies. I like nascar and I have more than one tooth. is that a strerotype? OMGosh.
These comments are hilarious and spot on! Thanks for posting them. They give me a warm fuzzy feeling. LOL
Wasn’t clear why? Maybe they booed her for eating all the french fries at the concession stands.
I don’t think Jay Busbee was expecting to get such blowback! roflol!
pone thing I’ve found with the fringe left is that they love to voice their views to as many people who they can find but when one addresses them and gives them another view with facts they then start to look confused, start stuttering etc.
I think it would be helpful if we all contacted the First “Lady” and let her know that, yes indeed, they WERE booing her. Just to clear up any misunderstanding.

I think they are race scanner headphones.
Ummmm....hey “news” media. Most people who follow sport and Nascar probably hate what Obama is doing to the country. Thus when his wife and another lib dem try to insert themselves into Nascar then boos will result.
Thought they were screaming. “Moooochelle”
