NASCAR driver Kurt Busch had a verbal meltdown at Homestead Fl. and it turns out the reason was Michelle Obama.
From ESPN: Busch said his reaction at Homestead came in part from realizing he would finish 11th in points -- only the top 10 drivers are recognized at Friday's banquet -- and that a piece from his transmission went through the grill of Stewart's car, which could have cost Stewart the title.
Stewart rallied from that incident to win the race and the championship, beating Carl Edwards in a tiebreaker.
Busch said he was unaware that the motorcade of SUVs at which he directed the obscene gesture at Homestead contained first lady Michelle Obama, who attended the race to honor the military.
"My car was dead,'' Busch said. "I didn't have any power to move forward. There was all of these SUVs parked in front of our garage. I was trying to get in there so my crew could work on our car. I didn't know who it was or what was going on.

So Michelle Obama shows up at the finale of the NASCAR season, is loudly booed and her SUV's are blocking the garage area. Those SUV's should never have been close to the garage area during the race.
There was no reason for Michelle Obama to be at the race- she was booed and she was there for political reasons.
What the hell was NASCAR thinking when they let her be the Grand Marshall at the race?

ReplyDeleteWhether they like her or not, there is NO WAY that NASCAR big Kahoonas could turn down Moochie's move.
No way.
Good grief! She's the First Lady! And I doubt she parked the cars herself. Honestly, I've never seen a First Lady treated with as much disrespect as Michelle Obama. Not Laura Bush, Not Barbara Bush, not even Nancy Reagan, not to this degree. What on earth did she do to raise such ire (and classless booing)?
ReplyDeleteWait. I forgot how the right treated Hillary Clinton. So, I guess this is the pattern. But it's kind of new. I don't think Mrs. Carter had to put up with this kind of disrespect.
ReplyDeleteYes, the left really treats all women fairly, just ask Sarah Palin!
ReplyDeleteJamie, the 3 ladies you mentioned also did not get involved in controversial politics.
ReplyDeleteHow do think Laura Bush would have been treated if she went to a rap concert and rapped with the singers?
