I Know, I Know .. This could have been posted elsewhere 'but' I do think of it as being a Political Statement.
It's odd that I can find only one website where this has been posted and .. even using Google and The Exact Words (that are in my title) as search terms .. Google has no other references to it!?
Well .. Here is what got my HAPPY FEET moving: :spork:
In an email to the Clemson University community, school president James Barker has condemned the actions of the fans who booed President Obama in a ceremony during Saturday’s football against Virginia Tech.
First reported in the Daily Kos by a blogger and Clemson alum who goes by the handle of “Grizzard,†thousands of fans booed the president when he was referenced during the Military Appreciation Day event. As part of their oath, students entering the university's Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) pledge to "obey the orders of the president of the United States."
The last portion of the pledge drew boos from fans.
Once reported by Daily Kos, the story quickly gained traction through social media. Readers on Tigernet, a website devoted to Clemson sports, were divided about the incident.
But Barker left little doubt about his feelings, making a call for civility in the political process and noting that the president is “the president of us all.â€

Its South Carolina.
North Carolina is quite Liberal compared to our neighbor. (which makes me want to cry)
No surprise to me that the mere mention of Obama got the reaction it did in South Carolina.

Clemson President Disappointed With Obama 'Boos' at Game
When I read the headline I figured it was because the 'boos' weren't loud enough.
