Most interesting MSU student section cheer today? booed loudly when Obama was shown on video board.

According to reports on Twitter and from several individuals who called into the Rush Limbaugh Show on Monday, President Obama was enthusiastically booed when he appeared in a public service announcement shown on the scoreboard video screen at Michigan State University during Saturday’s football game against Nebraska.

The “It’s On Us” PSA, which features a parade of celebrities in addition to the president and Vice President Biden, was designed “to fundamentally shift the way we think about sexual assault, by inspiring everyone to see it as their responsibility to do something, big or small, to prevent it,” according to a White House press release. The campaign was launched in partnership with the Center for American Progress’ Generation Progress and students from nearly 200 colleges and universities across the country. The NCAA has agreed to assist the White House through ”resources on NCAA.org; coverage of the campaign in its award-winning quarterly magazine, Champion; activities during the National Week of Action in November; and a half-day session on sexual assault and violence prevention at the Association’s annual convention in January.” The NCAA also agreed to show the PSAs at NCAA championship events and on social media.

The student section started the booing when President Obama’s face appeared on the screen at the end of the video. They were joined by others in the stadium.

Never been more proud to be a Spartan when the Student Section boo'd Obama.

I graduated from MSU. While it’s more conservative than um-aa, let’s not kid ourselves about the school. It’s conservative in the sense that National Socialism is conservative. In other words, it’s slightly to the right of something more extreme on the left-wing side of the political spectrum.

PSA about sexual assault on the scoreboard?? Totally inappropriate
This Buckeye supports the BooBirds at MSU.

They should have gotten Bill Clinton to do this PSA.

How long will it be before Michigan gets ‘punished’, for booing him?

Sorry, I can’t find a video of it. The link to this article only shows the video of Obama’s ad against sexual assault.

I’m not so sure about the Michigan State kids. Probably depends upon the color of their skin more than anything. Most of the young, middle class or higher White kids with whom I’ve come into contact have a very strong libertarian streak. They see Obama and Dems in general as power grabbers. Most of them don’t bother to vote at all, but the ones who did, generally went for Ron Paul or Mitt Romney. I think the polling from the last presidential election reflected that young White people did not vote Dem.

I was at the game. I was frankly surprised how loud the boos were from the student section. It was quite loud, there were no cheers. Perhaps there’s hope for the future.

Maybe my alma matter is not as far gone as I thought.

It took me two damn seconds to do that.....

I really don’t give a damn either way. If this is that important to you, go for it.

Well, it’s pretty boring to have your statement be parsed within an inch of its life...especially on FR.
