OBAMA AT FENWAY: A reader emails:

Jumbotron-sized Obama with a message for Fenway Park’s 100th anniversary game this afternoon against Yankees. Half the crowd–by our guess–was actually booing, and only a few cheers aloud. This is Boston! Bad tidings.

Don’t use my name, since I’m a Red Sox fan lurking in NY.

Was anybody else there to hear this?

UPDATE: Reader Chris Lynch writes: “A number of the Boston based sportswriters I follow on Twitter reported Obama’s video message getting booed. I didn’t see it because they didn’t show it on NESN (the network 75% owned by the Red Sox). The fact that they tacked the message from the ‘most powerful man in the world’ onto the end of the celebration when most people were going to the beer lines or bathrooms and went to commercial on TV instead of showing it is even more telling. Almost as if ‘yeah yeah – not this guy again’ even in the heart of the Bluest State in the Union.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Here’s confirmation from Mediaite, though since they employ a well-known racist you might want to take that with a grain of salt. But luckily, Weasel Zippers is on it, too.
