According to reports on Twitter and from several individuals who called into the Rush Limbaugh Show on Monday, President Obama was enthusiastically booed when he appeared in a public service announcement shown on the scoreboard video screen at Michigan State University during Saturday’s football game against Nebraska.
The “It’s On Us” PSA, which features a parade of celebrities in addition to the president and Vice President Biden, was designed “to fundamentally shift the way we think about sexual assault, by inspiring everyone to see it as their responsibility to do something, big or small, to prevent it,” according to a White House press release. The campaign was launched in partnership with the Center for American Progress’ Generation Progress and students from nearly 200 colleges and universities across the country. The NCAA has agreed to assist the White House through ”resources on NCAA.org; coverage of the campaign in its award-winning quarterly magazine, Champion; activities during the National Week of Action in November; and a half-day session on sexual assault and violence prevention at the Association’s annual convention in January.” The NCAA also agreed to show the PSAs at NCAA championship events and on social media.
The student section started the booing when President Obama’s face appeared on the screen at the end of the video. They were joined by others in the stadium.
Never been more proud to be a Spartan when the Student Section boo'd Obama.

See the video Michigan State fans booed on the next page:
Someone should throw a shoe at the fraud
I was at the game. I was frankly surprised how loud the boos were from the student section. It was quite loud, there were no cheers. Perhaps there’s hope for the future.
If it was at U of M stadium in the P.R. of Ann Arbor they would have worshipped.
I call Bravo Sierra...
Most of them had to have voted for the POS in 2012 so EAT IT!!!
They all voted for him; they’d all do it again.
To be fair (not that Obola deserves fairness), just about any president appearing on the board at a sporting event would get booed. Now, the percentage of the crowd booing versus cheering would be interesting...
To little to late America!
Michigan went for Obama BOTH times 2008, 2012.
I believe she will again in 2016.
Learning from mistakes is a good thing. They should be complimented.
When you get elected by promising them Skittles-pooing unicorns, at some point you need to deliver the Skittles-pooping unicorns, or you’re in trouble.
Hard to tell if he was being booed for the right reasons. Many Obama voters are disenchanted that he hasn’t delivered them all the free stuff they want. They would still vote for him again, because they know they HATE republicans, they are just mad at him.
NO.
Rather to “correct” you, “fool me once, SHAME on you. Fool me again, SHAME on me.”
There. Fixed it.
Keep a close eye on next month. Wave election.
Plus next month, they will stay home.

Not ‘most’ because they were too young to vote for him then.
MSU is the more conservative of the two big schools (MSU and UofM) There are at least a few FReepers with kids attending.
To be fair, most of the freshmen and sophomores weren’t even old enough to vote in the 2012 election. They would have been high school kids at the time.
