CBS news reported on the crowd reaction to Michelle Obama and Jill Biden at the NASCAR final in Florida.
From: CBS News Political Hotsheet
First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, Vice President Joe Biden's wife, were booed by some NASCAR fans as they served as the grand marshals for the racing circuit's final event Sunday.
Obama and Biden were at the Homestead-Miami Speedway to promote Joining Forces, an organization that promotes the hiring and training of veterans. They were joined by Army Sgt. Andrew Barry, a veteran of the Afghan and Iraqi wars who now volunteers at an Orlando, Fla., veterans center, and his family. The clip shows that people cheer for the soldier, but boo when the two women's names are announced. There are some audible sounds of approval, but they seem to be mostly drowned out by the dissenters.
However, there's been some dispute as to how drastic the booing was. ABC News reports that a source who was with Obama said that no one at the event could hear the booing over the "loud chaotic program with jets flying over and tons of noise."
Tony Stewart: amazing win, NASCAR champ again
And according to the Associated Press, the women received a standing ovation at the pre-race driver's meeting. Obama also spoke at a NASCAR-Joining Forces barbecue for military families. She talked to the the military children at the event, thanking them for their sacrifice of being strong while their parents are away.

Yeah......nobody would EVER guess that the crowd at a NASCAR event would react that way to either of these ladies.
Hell, I would think that these two must attend every NASCAR event being as they hold the fans of stock car racing in such high regard!
Oh and yeah, they also just loathe....uh LOVE, yeah that's it....LOVE our military.
I can just imagine the conversation before the event:
Michelle My Belle: Well Jill, we're supposed to open this race as the honorary masters of ceremony.
Jill From The Hill: Yeah, since our side has pissed off the communists in America we need to get the vote from the ignorant hicks.
