All I can say is if the Clinton camp were seen as booing Obama wildly, it would be reported as unseemly, to say the least. If Obama's strong point is being able to bring divergent groups together is indicative of his divisiveness within the Democratic party, imagine how well he will be with the GOP. He whines about being attacked. He makes it out as if you are for Hillary, you are a racist. He thinks every black should be for him because he is black, but if you aren't then you are a racist. There is something very wrong with this. It feels like Bush saying you are either for his war or you are unpatriotic. To disagree with Bush is akin to disagreeing with Obama.
If I could wrap my mind around Obama's accomplishments and see his vision, maybe I would understand the hoopla for Obama. But if his qualifications were attached to a woman, they would be thought of as a lightweight and unqualified. This seems like racism in reverse. And just what has Hillary done that is so awful? Just because she dares fight for this nomination against a black man is not reason to sully her and Bill. Obama is just as guilty as anyone in the dirt shoveled.
