Wonder what they'd do at Texas A&M!

Things are finally looking up. He didn't accuse the boo birds of being racist. And the office of the Presidency, as is true of all federally elected and appointed positions, doesn't deserve our respect. Our goobernment exist for one goal and one goal only, to make our lives worse. The only thing we have to fear is our goobernment itself.

But I thought dissent was patriotic.

Sorry. I know it is hard to resist sometimes, but I don't think we should boo a president.

One would think that this would be a First Amendment issue that these pompous buffoons pretend to support...

#4: They didn't. They booed Barrack Obama.

They should have shown a little class and just booed him at the polls.

#4 is right. Booing the president is not appropriate and is disrespectful of the office of the president as well as the occupant.

When a president does not respect the office and the country and the people in it, then why should those people respect the Jackass?

I like how some other military audiences handled his appearance. When he got to manufactured applause lines in his speech, the audience sat there in complete silence.

If this had been a Republican President we would have seen this reported on all of the networks....as it is, silence from the left.

a number of fans booed during the section of the oath they take to obey the President of the United States.

The oath should never be stated that way. They should pledge their allegiance to the country and the constitution, not to the temporary resident of the White House, and Abu bin Bama is a really good example of why.

Maybe ØDumbø should change his name to ØBøø then he could claim they are cheers. If the president of Clem hadn't written this letter only the people at the game would have know about it. He just want to generate some sympathy for Zippy.

Booing the POTUS, and even the preezy, is inappropriate, IMHO.

I agree. I don't like any of the positions that Obama holds, but if I met him, I would be polite out of respect for the office.

If Obama were a man of good will and sincerity with just some real bad ideas and some competence issues, like Jimmie Carter was, then I would not boo him. Obama is a different kettle of fish entirely. He misrepresented himself to the voters in 2008. We in this forum knew better, but he put one over on this country. Unlike FDR with SS and LBJ with Medicare, Obama shoved comparably major historic legislation down our throats. He puts his own political concerns above the good of the country. He ignores the Constitution. He lies with impunity, even on the debate stage to the entire country. He does not deserve our respect and he will certainly not get mine, even if you cloak him in the office he holds.
And oh yea, he is not a nice man at all, so let's get over that one as well.

Therefore, if the opportunity presents itself, like with these football fans, I will certainly boo this character and do so without hesitation.

In light of Zippy's complete disdain and lack of respect for our Military, or as her refers to them "Photo Ops", its understandable why the tendency to boo him. Especially in light of his deep cuts in the Defense budget so the money can be wasted on more undeserved entitlement programs just when these parents are sending their newly minted second lieutenants into harms way.

Invite Mitt Romney to a game and give the crowd a chance to "boo" him.

IF BHO can apologize for America while on foreign soil then by golly I can boo the man.

I agree that people have the right to boo POTUS, but I also think it's not appropriate. I detest the man's policies, but if he were in my presence, I would be civil to him. It's not the man, it's the office.

I have no problem with people boo'ing the president or any political leader. I cannot repsect the office if if can be occupied by someone like him. Don't you think the people of North Korea would like to boo Kim Jung Un, or the people of Cuba would like to boo Castro? They can't and that's how those dictators want it.

Given the lack of job prospects that 0bama has given these students, he's lucky they didn't pelt him with rotten fruit.

Nothing like a good booing to penetrate the liberal cocoon.

#s 4 and 8 --- this president was told our four people in Benghazi were in immediate danger and needed help from the United States of America.... for seven hours.....

....and our President went to bed...and let them die.

Boo him. Loudly.

He needs a does of reality and if he has to get it being booed, so be it.

Schadenfreude...PURE schadenfreude.

#28, Obama, the man, has done terrible things while holding office as President. We do not owe respect to the man, but the office deserves it.

Funny, I don't recall any "apologies" or "civil discourse" when the liberals savaged President Bush. They wished him cancer, a painful death, and every other calamity.

I went to the All Star game in San Diego in 1992 and George Bush 41 went out with Ted Williams to throw out the first pitch. He was booed! Even in Williams in San Diego. There were cheers also, but about the same as boos.

Clemson University president James Barker:

Deal. With. It.

for all of you who think it is disrespectful to boo the president, how about eh lack of respect he's shown the American public? He's a disgrace to the office and deserves nothing better. He brought it on himself. I'm sorry, but I'd have had to join in with the boo birds on this one.

Let me add: BOO!
Appropriate for that punk obama and the season.

I would not boo the office or its current holder in that kind of public setting. It simply sets a bad precedent for treatment of future presidents even if I find the current one beneath contempt.

Put some ice on it James...The students have learned over the past four years despite your best efforts

No free speech/expression at Clemson?

Having been in Death Valley many times and one of 84,000+ attending a Clemson game, I'll tell you silent treatment is deafening and very effective.

Of course the silence was for the opposing (football)team. Then Clemson entered and the crowd erupted. That is the way to do it, imo.

I agree with the other posters that booing is inappropriate. However, silence can speak louder than words.

#4, #8.......#6 is correct. After all the lies he has told the American people, he deserves to be booed.
Clemson Tigers, Rah Rah Rah!

#25, Thinking people all knew what you meant, Lt.

It's interesting that the oath for enlisted includes the "obey the orders of the President" line while the officer's oath does not.

Amen 40 and 41. The silent treatment is always more effective. Leaves the inteded mark a bit more off-balance than booing does.

i would normally agree that it is only right to be polite to a president....but this president does not deserve my respect...what he has done to the office hwe holds will take longer than i have to live to repair................and i am not old old old..............he has lied...and that is only a small fraction of what we know....
sorry as a good conservative who knows better....i may have booed him too...he is despicable.............

This president has not earned the respect of a true president. However, a better thing to do would be to turn your back to him when he speaks. This is photo evidence of a persons dislike of Obama.

All those insisting on reverence for the office of the president please note that Obama gratuitously used the power of the central government in the form of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to try and intimidate Boeing from establishing a manufacturing facility in the State of South Carolina (a facility that, by the way provides thousands of African Americans excellent jobs they would not have otherwise had). As the NLRB finally admitted, there was no contractual or regulatory basis for their banana republic intimidation of Boeing.

This guy happens to be president but he is not an honorable man and he has acted like a third rate dictator. At some point a line is crossed where the occupant of the White House forfeits the honor that goes with it. Bill Clinton did it when he violated the sink. Obama has done it many times. Nixon respected the office enough to resign.

My son, a 2012 VT grad, was at the game. He says it must have happened during pre-game activities, they were a bit late getting seated and didn't hear any of it. While I wouldn't condone the booing of anyone, in light of recent events . . . well . . .

I graduated from Texas A&M with a Masters in 1984 while in the AF. Therefore, I know that #1's question was strictly rhetorical. Bambie wouldn't go there if his life depended on it.
