It's unacceptable to boo the president of the United States, I don't care what your beef is.
It is especially egregious to taint the national pastime with such boorish behavior.
As common as it is these days, it is never acceptable to boo anyone.
It's rude, crude, and unsportsmanlike.

Something I just heard on CNN, relative to this thread --
I'm paraphrasing, but something similar to "not a bad pitch for wearing a bullet-proof vest."
Of course, I can't verify that he was wearing a vest underneath his jacket, but it makes perfect sense. Even a custom vest would likely restrict his rotational shoulder movements somewhat. I've only worn a somewhat bulky vest, and I know it's not a snap to move normally in them.
If that's true -- and it probably is -- it was a decent pitch, not good, but Presidentially respectable.
I absolutely agree.
It's disgusting, crude, low-life, crass behavior.

The majority cheered and so it was certainly a very small but noticeable minority who booed.
Nevertheless, it's wrong and I just wanted to express that sentiment.
We show respect for the office in such situations.
In the US, we have appropriate venues to express our discontent with government.
We don't need to tarnish the All-Star game with that kind of behavior.
My opinion won't change things, but I said it.

If they did boo him I'm sure it'll get dubbed over by the media.
