Well I for one am just shocked that people would boo that guy...

 

[Martin]

I like how they cheer for some random old bald guy though...

 

[Farang]

That was a mixed response.. actually surprised it wasn't worse because D.C. is 90% Democrat.

 

[Jadow]

Tell ya what, I gotta a lot of issues with Bush, but I think history will look back on him, say 50 years from now, quite favorably.

 

[shiner]

I was saying boourns

 

[QED]

I heard a lot of boos mixed with a lot of cheers, but that is no surprise. Lack of class seems to be quite contagious these days.

 

[Jawo]

I was suprised at how noticible the booing was even on tv...what a great ending to the game though with Zimmerman hitting a solo HR in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and the score tied!

 

[Leros]

It wasn't that bad. Most of the crowd applauded. The few guys saying "boo" were clearly being extra loud to be heard.

 

[Testify]

I only heard boourns also..

What you call "lack of class", I call "free speech". Just because someone is rich enough to be elected president doesn't make anyone obligated to respect them.

I have no problem with people wanting to boo the president. Personally I'm a democrat and I don't particularly like Bush, but I would still applaud and respect him if he were to show up at an event.

You respect the office, though... not the man.

I was no big fan of Clinton but I warmly applauded him when he was in Cleveland in the mid-90s to throw out the home opener at Jacobs Field.

You are correct-- it is your first amendment right to boo the President in that situation. It also demonstrates a lack of class-- just my opinion, though.

I totally agree. A baseball game isn't the place to make a political statement. You only boo the first pitch tosser if they suck. GW has an arm though.

 

[ElFenix]

were they cheering when he got the pitch to the catcher?

It's Washington D.C. It's got a lot of politically correct, self righteous bigots who think they know better than everybody else. Is it any surprise they don't have class?

 

[Insomniator]

Would never boo the president, regardless if I supported him or not. Its not an easy job.

 

[sandorski]

He worked hard for those Boos.

BTW, Ball!!

Remember that post where you called a group of people "faggots"? That pretty much invalidates anything you'll ever say again.

[mpitts]

I was saying Boo-urns

 

[Baked]

Should've brought in Obama to thow the 1st pitch. New era, get it?

 

[Miramonti]

You may not like him but he's still the president. However he's still a d!ckhead and that supercedes anything, which in my book warrants boo's in all forms/forums.
