President Obama tried to tweak Bostonians Monday as he thanked the Red Sox for trading Kevin Youkilis to his hometown Chicago White Sox, but instead he triggered a chorus of boos from fans still a bit raw over the deal.
Making a light-hearted jab as he delivered a series of thank-yous at the start of a fund-raising speech, the president added: “Finally, Boston I just want to say – thank-you for Youkilis.”

heck no, I was there. Everybody was yelling "YOOOUUUUK" like one does at Fenway. It wasn't "booo" at all!!!!
The last thing anyone wants to hear is a smug guy from Chicago making jokes about Youklis
His teleprompter went dark and his mouth operated without direction! He and Biden re a perfect pair.
