Obama Hears Boos After Youkilis Comment

President Barack Obama didn't help his campaign stock in New England on Monday night.  During a fundraiser in Boston, Obama joked with the crowd about the recent trade made between the Red Sox and White Sox that sent fan-favorite Kevin Youkilis to Chicago.  Obama said, "Boston, I just want to say, thank you for Youkilis."  The remark was met with a few laughs but a heavy barrage of boos followed by chants of "Youk" from the crowd.  The President, a known White Sox fan, backtracked on his comment, saying he shouldn't have brought up the trade.  The Red Sox dealt the 33-year-old Youkilis to the White Sox on Sunday and received Brent Lillibridge and Zach Stewart in return.
