President Bush Booed At Baseball Game

President Bush Booed At Baseball Game

www.huffingtonpost.com

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.

Interesting....I can hear a lot of boo's and they do seem to overwhelm the cheers...Could this be becasue a large amount of the booers were situated near the microphones of ESPN? becasue you can still hear quite a loud roar for him beyond the booing.

Has this happened to any other president? And is it a fair representation of how the U.S public feel about their 43rd president?

Well he's probabley going to have to, if you get a president with any courage to go after him and send him to the Hague. Yeh like that's going to happen

I wouldn't have cheered for the man but just look at the source of the article.

I'm sure if one person in the audience threw a beer out onto the field the Huffington Post would have an article with the headline: "Protestors Pelt President with trash."

so, why was that guy being re-elected again 4 years ago???

HE wasnt,
He wasnt even elected the first.

And the boo's?

when 30' something % agree with you, thats a pretty big difference.

Id say 70% of that crowd booed, and the rest ... well they didnt cheer.

it shoes his ignorance and his reality, or how badly he is scared of it.

he managed to smile the same way he would when lying to the camera.

True the Huffington post is very liberal and anti Bush, but the video is there and was not made by the Post, this is just their take on it.

And Agit8dChop, i think your comment on Bushe's ignorance is important, i really believe he does not really have a clue what is going on and is being completley decieved and mislead by Cheney and his advisors. His recent comments on Iraq really show it.

Muahahah nothing to add to this thread except that I feel refreshed now and am ready for a good nights sleep

It's simple really. The National's fans didn't want the residue of the President's MOJO on their team. It wasn't political it was self interest.

Now the Nationals are cursed for the 08 season!

Oh that was nice to read, even could hear the "buuuus" ...

Thats a step. Giant step of awakening.

Its possible that he hides from public places soon. Same has happened with all dictators, when public is not acting as they wish anymore. They concentrate to prosecute their generals...

Let the "buuuu" sing its song!

Oh man....

What a way to "accidentally" get that stadium blown to hell.

You guys are crazy. Those weren't "boos". The crowd was loving him and were chanting "BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUsh". I can see how the mistake could be made though.

i'm suprised he didn't get hit on the head with a bat

ah so a Majority of americans Hate Georgy
as a Majority of Iranians had amjad

there you go something Americans and Iranians share in common

Where's a handful of batteries when you need 'em?

Dang! Did you see that line of spooks above the dugout!?!

You can bet every... single... fan... was well scrutinized at the entry gates, unlike some Barack Obama events.

Further proof there is no god; while the shrub was standing alllllll by himself in the middle of that great big field, he wasn't struck by lightning.

Surprised he didn't drop the ball like he did with Iraq.

Man the late night comics are gonna have a field day with this one...

It's not surprising he threw a good pitch as this is what endeared him to many Americans in the first place, his ability to communitace to them on the everyday level in such mundane matters as this.

Unfortunately his policies are now leading to economic turmoil which effects Americans real everyday lives, negates any positive achieved through this.
