Maggie's Farm

As far as I am aware, booing someone is protected under the free speech rules. Mrs. Obama has constantly taken advantage of us taxpayers since she and her husband took over the White House. So when she goes on vacation with her husband, she has her own 757 plane, paid for with our tax dollars, to fly her separately to their destination. When he's "too busy" to bop over to some expensive country for a golfing vacation, she goes by herself. And spends. And spends.

Neither Michelle nor her husband have bothered to inform themselves about the customs of the countries they visit, so they are constantly offending the unwritten but universally accepted rules of those countries.
American companies which operate in foreign lands are much more careful to ground their employees in what behaviors are considered insulting or rude. I remember when my husband and I went on an Asian tour for his company. We spent one afternoon before leaving on the trip with a company-employed protocol expert who proceeded to explain which Western behaviors were considered insulting by the Asians. It's been thirty years or so since that informative afternoon, but I remember one of the rules was not to cross your legs so that the sole of your shoe faced the person you were talking to. That was considered very insulting. [I've always been an inveterate leg crosser, so it was difficult for me to comply with this tradition. But I did comply.]

Too bad the Obamas decided to fire the White House protocol experts who, until then, were extremely helpful to newbie Presidents and their families. Which is why Mrs. Obama made the egregious error of slinging an arm around the shoulders of Queen Elizabeth. She didn't bother to learn that you don't touch the British monarch unless She/He touches you first. I don't recall now whether Michelle curtsied or not. Probably she's too physically clumsy to have done that without overbalancing, but she could have gently inclined her upper body into a bow, as Ronald and Nancy Reagan did.
