“NASCAR fans booed First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, before the start of the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway,” according to the Sun-Sentinel (my first full-time job in journalism in 1982).
“Obama and Biden served as Ford 400 Grand Marshals, where they addressed the drivers’ meeting Sunday afternoon before presiding over the cermonial starting of the engines for Sunday’s race.”

Tacky, Tasteless and unpatriotic.
I’ll second that, PeteK. It is not Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden who look bad for being booed, that’s for sure.
This is the mindset of the right wing fanatics–boo the first lady of the US while at a charity event for returning war veterans and their families–I wonder what the soldier and his family sitting next to Obama and Biden felt like? Tasteless, rude and all too typical in todays climate.
Had I not seen this type of behavior before I would be too stunned to respond. Instead the only thing I can say about despicable behavior is “typical”.
Consider the source: A bunch of dim-witted yahoos who have nothing better to do on a Sunday than sit in the sun for five to six hours to see who can make 800 left-hand turns the fastest.
That’s what we get for winning the Civil War.
