President Bush Booed At Baseball Game

[Carlos_E]

President Bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch tonight at the Washington Nationals season opener and the inaugural game at Washington's National Ballpark. But the President — an avid baseball fan and the former owner of the Texas Rangers — probably didn't get the fan response he was hoping for, as he was largely booed by the 41,000-person sellout crowd as he walked out to throw the pitch.

[lotaquestions]

[SMCengineer]

Haha, that sucks. Kinda feel bad for the guy.

Pretty tasteless to boo the President at the game and of course it was a vocal minority. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of anger and hate liberals have.

What makes you think it's liberals? Last time I checked his approval rating was low across the board.

[IronReload04]

if you ask me......cheering him is the tasteless act!!!!!!!!!

[lotaquestions]

welcome to america, where we even boo santa clause, cant make everyone happy

[Tock]

Cheers or boos aside, shouldn't he have waited until a batter was at the plate before throwing the ball?

What's up with that?

And the Democratic lead Congress' approval rating is even lower.

[SMCengineer]

It was a pretty decent throw.

[lotaquestions]

Remember how you and other conservatives felt every time you saw President Bill Clinton, or heard his name?

Multiply that by INFINITY and you've got what liberals feel about G.W. Bush.

Bush is a clown , that simple

[RA]

Not the ceremonial first pitch tock....and if you boo the president of the United States your an idiot. If I was in the crowd and Clinton came out I wouldnt cheer or boo. It reminds me of little kids.

[SMCengineer]

and if you boo the president of the United States your an idiot.

Why?

[RA]

Hes the president. People should show some respect and not act like children.

Why?

[RA]

There used to be ideals like politics stops at the waters edge when it came to the lives of our military men and women...you dont boo the president because the office commands respect...things like that. I know thats gone out the window in this day and age but hopefully someday people will realize that we should act better.

Last I checked, one of the greatest things about this country is that if your dissatisfied with what a politician is doing you not only have a right to dissent you have an obligation as a citizen. That's what this country was founded on. Now, I'm sure if they could, the people who were booing would of otherwise politely told him of their dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, the situation didn't permit that kind of interaction. Further, respect is not something that's demanded it's something that's earned and some people in the crowd thought he didn't deserve it. Whether he deserved to be booed or not is subjective, but to say that booing is childish or idiotic is saying that if you disagree with a leader you should keep your mouth shut. That would be ten times worse.

Oh, and if Clinton was there I'd have booed head off not sat back in silence.

[Flagg]

YouTube have removed the video. Guess Bush got a lil crushed by the backlash.

just because someone is the president doesnt mean he deserves respect....especially bush.

Yeh guys come on... Can't we put aside the war he lied to us about, the amount of money our country is in debt because of him, wire-tapping, etc, just for one happy ball game?

[Carlos_E]

Respect is earned.

[tadpoleboyy]

have you heard the speeches he gives? People audibly laugh at the things he says. You ever heard the one wheres he was asked about sovereignty and native americans and the treaties that were signed? He doesnt even know what the fvckn word means. These people get screwed out of their land and he just dicks around with some buzzwords and its just a joke... http://youtube.com/watch?v=W28CQQsH9S8
When i hear him talk, and remember that he represents and entire country, the country that i live in. i feel embarrassed. Sometimes i even feel physically flushed, because he just makes us look like shit sometimes.

Id boo him in a second

I knew some libs would come on here and poo poo what I said. To you showing respect must be like speaking greek.

[SMCengineer]

^^So your saying freedom of speech is liberal propaganda?

[Peducho0113]

Poor President Bush everytime I hear the State of Union Speech I LMAO!!!

[tadpoleboyy]

roidattack, do you listen to his speeches? Do they not make you feel embarrased, knowing that that man represents you? Not only you, but a whole nation? The things he says... ugh

yeah, and there used to be times when idiots were not elected to be president - I guess things have changed

[Oki-Des]

They did that because he chose not to pitch to someone on the aas list. If he would have pitched to him, the Democrats would have attacked him. He was going to be bashed for it no matter what he did, and he chose to pick the lesser of the two evils in his own mind.
Its part of politics nowadays.

[RA]

Did I mention freedom of speech? Just because you have the right to say something doesnt mean your not an idiot for saying it.

^^So your saying freedom of speech is liberal propaganda?

[RA]

In your opinion hes an idiot and thats fine. Im addressing showing respect for the President of the United States only.

yeah, and there used to be times when idiots were not elected to be president - I guess things have changed

[RA]

Im not sure what else one could do to earn respect than get elected to the highest office in our country.

Respect is earned.

True, but just because you disagree with what someone is saying doesn't make them an idiot either.
