Cindy McCain's American Pride
From CBS News' Andante Higgins:
BROOKFIELD, WIS. -- While introducing her husband at a rally here this morning, Cindy McCain spoke about her two sons serving in the military and her husband's presidential credentials as she always does. But then she unveiled a new line – she boasted about her American pride.
"I am proud of my country," she said. "I don't know about you. If you heard those words earlier, I am very proud of my country."
Her comments sounded like a response to another candidate's wife. While speaking at a rally in Madison, Wis., for her husband yesterday, Michelle Obama also talked about America. "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country," she said.
When asked if Cindy McCain's comment was in response to Michelle Obama, John McCain had no comment. Cindy, though, stepped to the microphone only to interject: "I just wanted to make the statement that I have and always will be proud of my country."
