In her adult life America has elected women and minorities to the US Senate and Congress. They have been appointed to the Supreme Court, held cabinet positions become CEOs and on and on.
We have fought conflicts overseas returned victorious. We have contributed untold dollars to combat AIDS, famine, help Tsunami and hurricane victims.
She can try to clear this up. But for me watching it, she looked like she thought quite hard before she said what she did...

I liked Cindy McCain getting the garbage layup. She''s a real Stepford Wife. If we are proud of our country no matter what it does, that''s a Stepford mentality. I''ve been damned mad about some things our leaders (Bush, Cheney, Congress, McCain, etc.) have said and done. I''m forever proud to be an American, but NOT invariably proud of America. I think a President like Barack Obama would make me proud of America a lot more than I have been in recent years.

I have a new phrase- "Obama-bots"
Unlike "Bushbots", Obamabots have a bias liberal news outlet to protect him from any self inflicted damage. In fact, you don''t even need a platform to be an Obama-bot. All you need to do is repeat the phrase:
"Change & Hope, Change & Hope, Change & Hope, Change & Hope, Change & Hope, Change & Hope, Change & Hope, Change & Hope"

To paraphrase Ann Richards:

"The biooch was born with a silver foot in her mouth!"

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE I AM PROUD OF MY COUNTRY. IN MICHELLES 2O YEARS OF ADULT LIFE SHE ONLY NOW IS PROUD OF AMERICA. AMERICA HAS DONE SO MUCH GOOD IN THE PAST TWENTY YEARS AND THEN SOME AND, NO THE SPIN JUST WON''T WORK FOR SOME OF US.

For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country. Not just because Barack is doing well, but I think people are hungry for change." Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential contender John McCain, saying "I have, and always will be, proud of my country."

there was nothing wrong with her comment. it is taken out of context. she is excited and feels a different type of excitement and pride. this election year is full of firsts and she is part of it.

she should be proud of her country. before now, a black man, a woman and a mormon would have never been concidered for pres. something to be proud of, especially going this far in the elections.

it shows the prejudices are lessening, and i am sure she feels pride because of it.


she had no choice but to explain her words. havent you ever said something and had to explain it because soom nut wanted to take it out of context. if not, maybe you should run for pres. or better yet, i guess you can throw the first stone.

she had to rephrase because of the idiots out there trying to stir trash.

think about it, it does not take a brain surgeon to figure that out.

If she can''t speak clear thoughts and her husband has to tell us what she really thinks, what kind of WhiteHouse couple is this?! This is an inexperianced couple with no right to lead a nation of Americans who need clarity and specifics.

Michelle Obama is not a troll.

Xlib,

You won''t find too many historians or economists that will agree with your version of history. What does the fact that the SC struck down parts of the New Deal have to do wuth the fact that what was enacted saved the economy?

What does the fact that the depression was worldwide have to do with the fact that the recovery saved capitalism in this country at a time when most of the world was being consumed by fascism and communism?


william19491-Xlib you are 100% correct....YADA YADA YADA.
