"What was that all about? " He seemed so dead set against motherhood... True, you only asked a question. But the context and the question itself does indicate that was your intent. If not, then you have my apologies. And true, I don't really know how people would react. Situation can make a big difference. For example, standing in a crowd and a small group starts to boo. You might be horrified or think they are jerks. But if you are standing in a crowd and everyone around you starts to stand up and boo, you might join in yourself. So the dynamics can also play a part. And some indicate that they events might not have been the same as what was reported. I will note that it wouldn't surprise me if it had. The people allowed into many Bush events are screened and the criteria used means that a high percentage of the audience are of the opinion that Clinton, if not being the actual spawn of Satan, is at least behind a lot of things that might as well have been done by the SoS. So they are pre-disposed to booing in any case. As far a Bush's reported actions, or lack there of, it wouldn't surprise me. I've never seen him stand up to a crowd and try yo get them to do something other than what they want to do. As a speaker, he isn't quick on his feet. I guess this is the biggest reason they go to such great lengths to keep hecklers out, he can't handle going off script.
