President Obama booed in Boston after trying to make a Kevin Youkilis joke
Yahoo Sports ^ | June 26, 2012 | Kevin Kaduk

President Barack Obama still refuses to waffle when it comes to baseball loyalties.

The commander-in-chief has consistently repped his hometown Chicago White Sox throughout his first term, wearing a White Sox jacket at the All-Star Game in St. Louis, rooting for the Pale Hose over Strasburg and Co. while in the District and being skeptical about the gift of a Brewers jersey in Wisconsin.

One woman then absolved him of guilt, yelling out from above, "We still love you."

Why am I not shocked? Likely an Elizabeth Warren supporter, too. And said "Like, OMG" to describe her sensation.

What about the Uptown Sodomites jacket the girly-girl purchased from his favorite bathhouse, Man's Country?

...so raising taxes, destroying the economy and taking our freedom are just fine.

But you make fun of the home team - and you’re in trouble.

Another day in Obamaland. :(

What she meant to say is “We all still would love for you to release your actual Birth Certificate and your college records and your Draft documents!”

This is absolutely hysterical! Jay Carney desperately trying to spin this, claiming the crowd was yelling "Youuuuuk!" (which is what Boston Red Sox fans yell whenever Kevin Youkilis came up to bat).

As a Boston Red Sox fan, I can't stop laughing over this one... Hey Jay: The Boston crowd was OBVIOUSLY booing you!

Here's the audio evidence:

Jay Carney: Boston fans “were saying ‘Yook’ not ‘boo’ for God’s sake”

Prediction 1: Youkilis will bat in the post season. Big Papi won’t.

Prediction 2: Obama will relieve Carter as the most annoying former president before Spring training 2013.

With so much to get booed for, the crowd got steamed about a bad joke poorly delivered?

Who does this guy think he is, Jon Steward?

BO himself acknowledged that he got ‘booed’...so how can Carney spin it?

The ‘Amateur’ is an embarrassment!

yes—it’s like the old days when Lou Pinella, or a bit more recently Lou Merloni, had people chanting “louuuuuuuuuuuu” and it sounded like boos, or with Youkilis how Sox fans chanted “Youuuuuuuuuuuuk” and it sounded like a boo, but wasn’t.

But this was most likely a boo, no matter how they spin it!

Because Carney is a such a sock puppet that he can't ever admit to such a thing.

Frankly, I think this is one of Obama's most appealing moments. Come to think if it, maybe his only appealing moment. For just a moment, he was actually just a baseball fan ribbing another team because his team just got one of their former favored players. The way he laughed suggests that it was intentional.

Carney can't even see that, though. He should have focused on the "regular guy" aspect of this rather than still foisting the messiah image on us.

Yeah B0 is a real fan.
He doesn’t know if a baseball is stuffed or pumped up.
He cannot name one White Sox player. Ever. Not one.

Har, Obama himself admits in the video that he is being booed!

That should knock the Carnie's (short hand for carnival worker) SOX off....

Obama knows as much about baseball as I do about “String Theory”

Carney truly sold his soul when he was hired. Pathetic human being.
