More later, looking for video, it just happened. According to the AP Pool report leaked and reprinted here there were “thunderous boos and catcalls.” Faux News apparently covered it without mentioning or acknowledging the loud sound of booing. The raw AP pool report said:
Gorgeous day, 70 degrees with happy, red-capped turnout est at 25k. VPOTUS stepped out onto field dressed in khakis and a Nats bomber jacket to the sound of thunderous boos and catcalls, making Kerry’ welcome at the Dem convention seem downright warm (spotted in the crowd: a t-shirt upon which someone had scrawled, ‘don’t shoot me dick.’) Jeering may or may not have disrupted the veep’s concentraton, but the pitch — from about a yard in front of the mound — was short, bouncing once before being reined in.
Still it is a wonder that the smell of frying meat alone didn’t bring on another heart attack. Talk about last throes.On the plus side: security rather, uhm, lax when it comes to plastic bladders of wine.
