One thing about Boston: the city loves its Red Sox baseball. The
president learned that the hard way on Monday during a fundraiser.
While trying to connect with the crowd, Obama thanked the city for
recently dealing one of its beloved stars — Kevin Youkilis — to his
hometown Chicago White Sox. It didn’t go over well:
“Finally Boston, I just want to say, thank you for Youkalis.” The crowd booed.
“I’m just saying, he’s going to have to change the color of his socks,” the president said laughing.
“I didn’t think I was going to get any boos out here,” he said. “I
should not have brought up baseball, I understand, my mistake, my
mistake, you got to know your crowd.”

The Chicago White Sox, years ago were the Chicago Black Sox because they wore black socks. I thought he would have mentioned that and how they are racist today. Every time Obama opens his mouth a foot goer in.
