Michelle Obama Booed At NASCAR

Once again, NASCAR fans know more about politics than most everyone else, Michelle Obama was loudly booed while she gave the command for the drivers to start their engines.
Even though Obama hid behind a Afghanistan/Iraq veteran, who was loudly cheered, you could not miss the loud boo's by the crowd for Obama. Further, the command to start the engines were made, not in front of the stands, but in an area that looked like the garage or infield area.
As I asked before, what was NASCAR thinking when Obama was named the Grand Marshal of the last race of the season at Homestead? And how much money did us taxpayers have to pay for ths foolishness? The flight down to Florida, probably an ovenight stay, the Secret Service guarding Obama and the extra security needed to closesly screen the spectators is probably the tipof the iceberg in terms of costs.
This was just to done to boost Mrs. Obama's ego and try to help President Obama's re-election campaign and nothing more.

Update: From a post I did on 11-11-11: The White House is dispatching Michelle Obama to serve as Grand Marshal of the Nov. 20 season-ending NASCAR Ford 400, a move that seems clearly designed to woo NASCAR voters while also burnishing the first lady’s credentials as a regular gal.Mrs. Obama, who has incurred some bad publicity for taking luxurious jaunts to South Africa and Spain while often being photographed in expensive clothing and accoutrements, has lately been spotted shopping at Target and hanging out at the baseball park, attending the first game of the World Series.The NASCAR appearance is billed as part of the first lady’s “Joining Forces” initiative for military families, and Mrs. Obama’s Joining Forces co-chair, “Second Lady” Dr. Jill Biden, will also serve as Grand Marshal.The Ford 400 is held at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. Florida is perhaps the most critical presidential battleground state in the country.
