This would be our future first lady? For the first time in my adult life, I am truly terrified for my country!

[...] America for the first time in her adult life.And not only because Barack’s doing well.  Posted by Dan Collins @ 4:40 pm | Trackback [...]

‘First Time In My Adult Lifetime I Am Really Proud Of My Country’”

I am not interested in her being the first lady. If this is the first time, she must be blind to all the good in this country. Just because we voted for her husband, (not because he is black), she thinks we have seen the light. She needs to open her eyes, this country was great and something to be proud of before Obama wanted to be President in 08.

So when did she become an ‘adult’? Last month?

Although there are many things we can point to that the USA has not done ‘right’, there are many more things that we have. America is the most free, most generous, most selfless, most democratic (small d) country in the world. And that is the reason that millions of people from all around the world flock here.

For shame on Ms. B-HusseinObama that she is so selfish and narrow-minded that only if a half-black (half-baked, half-Muslim, sophomoric/sophomoronic) man is in the running is she ‘proud’.

Looks as if she still has some maturing to do before she is really an ‘adult’.

You know Art Linkletter said it best “Kids say the dardest things”.

I bet, Barack hopes he can attribute this to someone else, in a hurry.

How dare Michelle Obama make a statement like that!
This is still the greatest country on the face of the earth. She and her husband might want to run for president int the Sudan, Iran, Venezuela or Cuba and see how much hope and how proud she would be to live in those countries. These people want to occupy the highest office in the land? Give me a break!!!

If Michelle is just now proud of her country, she
just now lost my vote. Maybe she could find a nice little country in South America, Africa or
the middle east she can be proud of, what a
pinhead.

What a stupid woman!
How embarrassing for her parents.
She makes me want to vomit.
God have mercy on us if this couple gets into the White House.

She needs to find another country. I don’t want here heres

Not sure what to think…seems dems, ala, bill clinton/monica have no respect for America/the Oval Office, etc.
Vote for McCain!

Go to Canada and take Osama with you, you have some G## Damn nerve, The loony left strikes again

She may be proud, but frankly, I’m ashamed. Barack Obama has said nothing of substance that wasn’t asinine (e.g. unilaterally attack our Pakistan (an imperfect ally, but an ally nonetheless) and sit down and negotiate with Iran (an enemy who will lie to his face with a smile). Michelle Obama thinks the role of the federal gov’t is to heal the souls of the citizenry. Their popularity makes me wonder how we can have so many nitwits in this country responding to such simple-minded drivel. Michelle, you and your empty-suit husband make me ashamed, and if he is elected by a majority of the easily led, I’ll never regard him as my president. He’ll just be a temporary Poser in Chief.

1st time in her life? I like Obama, but I do not agree with this statement at ALL! What about how the country banded together after 9/11, Katrina, etc. Those were all very proud moments for this country. Those were also moments during the Bush admin. I don’t like Bush, but you can be proud of what the American people are doing regardless of who the president is. What a conceited statement! Obama better put a leash on her if she is going to say things like this.

Obvious Racist..

Is that why her husband refuses to wear an American flag pin and won’t put his hand to his heart during the Ntional Anthem?

First of all unless you have lived your life as a Black person in America none of you have a right to say anything about this. All this outrage of how can she insult the US of A, get over yourselves, you are nothing compared to what this couple has to say. Either of them. One of the greatest things about Obama going all the way os twofold, him winning, and second, how much that is going to piss off the idiots.

Well, we are being entertained by yet another bit of piffle and rhetorical flapdoodle from Ms Michelle.
Here she is, among the wealthy priviledged, Harvard education, high paying job, husband running for president, can be and do anything she wants in life. And NOW is the first time she is proud of the US?!?! What a moron.

i always run from people that spew catch words for their campaign…”time for change???” screw change, i want to keep my dollars…and just what do you plan on changing…since you have been in washington, what specific legislation have you authored??? ooohhhh,, NONE…GOT IT…and you expect my vote ??? don’t think so…hey michelle, pack your bags..your grandmother in kenya has a questroom waiting for you and bbbbarrack in her shack.

This is the woman who said “There ain’t no black people in Iowa”.

Thank you Mrs. Barack Hussein Obama. I’m sorry to hear that you have never been proud of your country, but I’m happy for the free advertising you have just given to us on the right. The great thing about competing against a liberal is, all you have to do is keep quiet. Eventually, their true feelings come out and that is better than any ad we could ever run. Provided it gets any coverage of course.

Ive already heard people defend Mrs. Obama by pulling the race card and declaring african-americans havent had a good life in America and Obama gives them hope they can become something. The truth is people of all races come from all over the world come to America in search of opportunities that their own countries cannot provide. The only reason a person should feel like they are not a part of America is “THEY ARE LAZY AND CHOOSE NOT TO WORK FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM”. America is the land of Opportunity, only if and I repeat only if you are willing to sacrifice and work. If the democrats get their way an American Dream wont exist and you will not be working to provide for your own family and dreams, but for someone elses. When that day comes people will immigrate to America not to fulfill their dreams but to get in line for a check…uh oohh that day has already come thanx to Democratic Socialistic Policy starting from Lyndon B Johnson. So Mrs OSAMA if you feel better about killing the Dream then you are simply foolish.

I AM PROUD of MY COUNTRY! and if she is not, then please leave! There are so many things to be proud of this country for that my blessings, I feel, are endless. I am proud of the POLICE and FIRE Department! I am proud of the school bus driver that cares to smile to child. I am proud of school teachers that care! I am proud of the VERTRANS have fought for and given their lives for to allow me the freedom to tell her – GET OUT and LEAVE MY COUNTRY ALONE YOU HIPOCRITE!

PS…why are none of these people reaching out to whitie….come to my hood…since I am the one paying taxes to keep your butts on the campaign trail

To be fair, she is saying this is the first time she is really proud of her country. Maybe she was proud before, but now she is really pround.

On the other hand, she could actually mean that she has not been proud until of being an American until her husband started winning in the primaries.

Either way, she certainly did not make her husband proud today.

She should spend 10 years in Ethiopia (with her in-laws), Sudan, Uganda, South Africa, Congo, Ivory Coast, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Venezuela, or Cuba. Then we’ll see if she’s proud of her country. What a dope.

As an African American I agree with her. America is finally becoming a place where all men are created equal. 50 years ago, I couldn’t use the same bathroom or eat in the same restaurants as many of you. That is not something any black person is proud of.

As great as we perceive America is, don’t forget about the Native Americans, African Americans, Lations, Asians and women that were stepped on to get there….

Get Real!!!! This nitwit has a Harvard degree? Is this what happens when you give out Affirmative Action diplomas? Shows a Harvard Degree is nothing more than a sheet of paper presented to an idiot whose name is now Michelle Obama.

Are you telling me that she has never been proud of our brave armed forces who put their lives on the line everyday?What a pathetic and hateful woman.Her husband B.Hussein Obama is going to bring our country together with this type of attitude?No way!

For the first time in my entire life, we’re faced with the possibility of having a first lady that isn’t even fit to VISIT the White House, let alone LIVE there.

By law, I became an adult the day after I turned 17… the same day I put on the uniform of the US Army. I have been proud of my country, even when I disagreed with it, every waking moment since.

Her comments and her conduct are despicable. I will now actively oppose her and her empty-suited husband in an election I was GOING to completely sit out.

The vision of this “woman” being the first lady of a country she’s despised sickens me.

Good luck with this little revelation. Mrs. O. I hope your husband’s campaign chokes on it.

I am very insulted by this attitude. What American is not proud of all the good things about the the country and what we have done for the world, even if we oppose certain actions or policies. This is a very telling and scary look at the Obama attitude

As an African American I agree with her. America is finally becoming a place where all men are created equal. 50 years ago, I couldn’t use the same bathroom or eat in the same restaurants as many of you. That is not something any black person is proud of.

As great as we perceive America is, don’t forget about the Native Americans, African Americans, Lations, Asians and women that were stepped on to get there….

And if McCain does win we will all be labeled racist. Not that even with white people being the only people on earth that care about blacks, we are not labeled that way now.

Who are you people? How can you be proud of America at this moment in time? Is our response of 9/11 something to be proud of? Our response was war in Iraq! And Katrina was a unifying moment? Don’t you remember how pitiful the government’s response was? Our government has placed thousands of Katrina victims in toxic trailers. Yea, there’s much to be proud of in our country’s recent history.

This doesn’t suprise me at all. It’s always just a matter of time until a liberal let’s their true feeling slip. Bill and Hillary will run with this.

The next question should be. Until today, what Country have you been proud of?
I’m guessing the answer would be some Socialist hell hole. I hope this is a HUGE wakeup call to all Americans.

This quote is great. It gets right to the heart of the problem with the Obama camp. It hits at both the arrogance and ignorance at the same time.

She is saying that if you vote us I am proud of my country. If you don’t, then I don’t have time for you.

I have been proud of my country my whole adult life.

I agree with her. America is the only Western nation left that doesn’t provide health care for citizens. Other countries pay you to go to school, pay for your health care, provide you six weeks paid leave a year to be with your family. America just takes your money, kills your sons and daughters and takes away our rights. There isn’t any reason to be proud of America. I’m so ashamed of my country and wish it would catch up to the rest of the world. This country is in the toilet and we have greedy fake Christians and Republican warmongers to blame for it. The Prince of Peace won’t sit quietly forever while evil is done in His name.

“As an African American I agree with her. America is finally becoming a place where all men are created equal. 50 years ago, I couldn’t use the same bathroom or eat in the same restaurants as many of you. That is not something any black person is proud of.”

Yeah, and EVERY PLACE Blacks have moved to has become a crime-ridden, disaster-area. Every one.

I am 66 years old and HAVE BEEN PROUD OF MY C0UNTRY EVERY DARN DAY OF MY LIFE!

WHAT GIVES WITH THESE PEOPLE NOWADAYS, COMPLAINING ABOUT THE COUNTRY, THE FREEDOM, THE WEALTH WE HAVE!

ANY MORE OUTBURSTS LIKE THIS AND I AM VOTING FOR MCCAIN!

Just wait until the Obama supporters start to riot. Don’t be suprised.

John…”unless you have lived your life as a Black person in America”, what!?!?!…here we go again, poor me, I’m black and I no opportunites. Obama is a fraud and I only hope America opens it eyes to his socialist-commy “change” he wants to bring.

Does “she” think she is passing as a woman? Obama’s weird gay lifestyle matches so well with this thing he married.

I wish she had waited until after hubby had wrapped up the nomination. He has been given a pass so far from this dreadful country she despises. The Clintons are skewered every time they attack him as insensitive or racist. The press is both enamored of him and scared they will be considered less then enlightened if they criticize him. There isn’t a single country anywhere on this earth where she would have been so free to prosper as she has here in the U.S.

I have never been “really” proud of my country. Sure, this country is probably on balance the best place in the world to live, but real patriots are not afraid to be critical. It is what keeps us from becoming like Nazi Germany.

Public service jobs Michelle Obama has held:

1. Spent college running a children’s literacy program.

2. Worked as Assistant to the Mayor of Chicago and Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development.

3. Was Executive Director for the Chicago office of Public Allies, a non-profit organization encouraging young people to work on social issues in nonprofit groups and government agencies.

4. Developed U. of Chicago’s Community Service Center.

5. Worked for University of Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and, beginning May, 2005, as Vice President for Community and External Affairs.

Please stop asking her to “get to the back of the bus.” She’s not a back of the bus kind of woman.

Is this the break …Billary have been waiting for? Michelle O served it up on a silver plater. What a pity !

Use your listening skills, people; she says she is now “really” proud of her country. Being “really” proud now, by default means that she was proud before. Use your brains, and stop making snap judgments based on inflammatory headlines.

….I could care less WHAT context she spoke those words… any true patriot loves this country, warts and all, and speaking for myself, although the past 5, 15, 25, 50 years have been less than perfect, that’s still a very strange thing for her to say and she should have known better.

Wow. Does she think before she speaks? What-proud of America now that you might be getting something you want out of it? (other than the tons of things America gives you every day).
Change? Obama and Hillary are preaching change. To what? Socialism? Why fix it if it’s not broken? Who’s to say it’s broken? Just a matter of opinion and perspective.

subsidized ivy league education, USA feeding the world, USA fighting for freedom and liberty and then asking for enough land to bury our dead (Colin Powell), USA is the only country in the world that frees other nations and asks for no land in return, the most prosperous nation in the history of the world… on and on.

Again, are there any adults left in the Democratic party?

I’m nearly 60 years old and I have been proud of my country all my life. Not always happy with what we’ve done, or how we’ve done it, but proud that we have always stood up for others, helped others, excelled in sending men to the moon, our scientific achievements, our heart and our soul.

Ms. Obama lives in one of the greatest countries on earth and this is the first time she has been proud of the USA?

Sad and I do not now want her for our First Lady! No one should be allowed to represent a country they are ashamed of.

Hell I’m proud to be an American!

She just handed Ohio to the Clintons.

It’s very sad to learn that Michelle Obama has had such a difficult life in this country that she has been ashamed to live here all of this time–who would have guessed it? As a black woman, I’m sure she experienced things that I never experienced as a white male: Affirmative Action, she was given a warehouse full of race cards to use whenever she saw fit, the cultural support for her perpetual indignation, and a ready-made excuse for any any anti-social, maladaptive behavior she and her “peeps” engage in. I am quite happy, however, to see that now that her husband is on the verge of being hailed as Messiah, she feels “proud” of her country. Good for you Michelle, “you go girl” — whatever that incoherent, sub-literate colloquialism means.

I am horrified. Is Michelle paid by the Clintons a huge lumpsum of money to sabotage her own husband’s campaign? He was doing so well until Michelle Obama opened her mouth. OMG. I thought it was a sure thing for Obama until now. Michelle, why why why, you are wearing that very expensive perl necklace from your husband as he said to People magazine “It ain’t cheap.” and you said this? Barack, return that to the jewler, and maybe return her to her parents if you can.

The Obama’s are far left activists. Code pink will be proud.

This was not a good statement. I am black and proud of my country. Always have been and I am now in my 40s.

However, I am not proud of the way people on this site have disagreements. To start the racist talk is what we need to move past. Can we stick to the issue here or can we not look past race when disagreeing?

I don’t care what your color, if you don’t like America, it is a free country and you are free to leave.

Michelle Obama: “the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country.”
How do you even start with this?
You are 43 years old, and this is the first time you have been proud of your country, and yet you want to be the first lady??
Bare foot men at Valley Forge?
The flag being raised over Iwo Jima?
The signing of the Declaration of Independence?
Neal Armstrong walking on the moon?
Beating Germany and then rebuilt Europe?
Washington crossing the ice covered river with men with bare feet in snow, to victory in Trenton.
I could go on for pages, Michelle you have no place in the White House, this is the greatest country the world has ever known. We have had problems, but no county has done so much for so little thanks then this country. I almost feel sorry for you if you cant see that.

I know a lot of lefties who likely agree with Mrs. Obama, but this is a vile statement to come from someone who seeks the White House for her husband. It is revolting to think that she has the nerve to say that she has not been proud of America for nearly 30 years. Differing with specific policies of certain administrations is one thing. But to not have pride in America itself, what it is, utterly disqualifies these people from holding any office.

I find it to be highly objectionable and revealing to state her disdain for our country only now that she thinks that they’re ahead in the race. It’s vain and self-centered. It’s a big deal.

Here’s Mrs. America on tape, today in Milwaukee.

»www.breitbart.tv/html/49244.html

Will she read books to schoolchildren in the White House telling them how bad America was until Barack got elected?

This is the crap they teach at Trinity United.

Thanks Michelle for your courage……And giving the Presidential election to John McCain, I plan on jumping parties in Texas and vote for Obama just to stick it to Hitlary, then in Novemeber vote for McCain…..Just as Hitlary can’t control Bubba, Barrack has a problem now thanks to Michy

Priceless

What a stunningly insulting thing to say. If Michelle Obama cannot find anything about the United States of America to be proud of, other than her husband’s campaign success, she simply isn’t fit to be first lady.

Obama supporters = mindless cult = internet fad = useless spammers

To all you chauvanistic, jingoistic types: THIS IS NOT the best country on earth, whatever your opinion might be. Look where the US stands on issues of infant mortality, literacy, free and fair elections and freedom of the press. Statistics have much more to say about which country is great. I love my country but am often ashamed of her actions. Bush has shamed us beyond any head of state since Amin.
And to the bozo who denigrated Venezuela: Hugo Chavez actually WON elections–and quite handily i might add. Much unlike the rigged elections of 00 and 04 here.

First time, well maybe she should stop supporting the Demcratic Party promising the same things and not delivering. The republicans have done more the advancement of African Americans (Bush II = more higher level gov’t positions for blacks, Reagan = MLK day, Nixon – The Philly Project and so on). For that matter on the environment – EPA was Nixon, Bush II set aside a huge area of the ocean. By the way, Bush is in Africa where they LOVE him for all that he has done with American for Africa.

Is anyone sure this B***H isn’t Amarosa??? Does anyone know of a black person who yearns to return to Africa to live? HMMMM???? even Muhammed Ali said after the rumble in the jungle in 74, “boy I sure am glad my grandaddy got on that boat!” Rashida errrr Michelle is nothing more than an extra in a rap video.

Come on people give Mrss Barrack a break. YOu know how hardit is for a socialist to stay quiet for this long, this had to be hell on her. And as her husband gets closer to securing the nomination, he will bolt more to the left. Remember has the support of Moveon, and of the DSA( Democratic Socialist Party) one of only 4 po;iticians the group actively supports. I think if he is th enom allot of moderate dems will vote for McCain, or not vote at all, of course the same goes for Hillary if she is the nominee. I just hope it goes to the convention brokered, cant wait to see all the infighting. And for all the rhetoric coming from the Dems about every vote counts, guess not not huh. Several Dems have said it should be up to the “super delegates” as they know whats best for the country

FYI,

You say now she is really proud. Do you mean that when she said she was proud in the past, she was misleading? Or do you mean that she is really proud like…. whoa, big, cool, excited, huge type of modifiers. When most people say that they are proud of their country, the default is really proud.

Proud…. REALLY proud…. REALLY REALLY proud… FIRST TIME I’m REALLY proud instead of just a “little bit” proud… whatever. All I’ve heard from either of the Obama’s is “hope” and “important issues”, ad nauseam, but the TRULY pathetic thing is that so many people are buying into this political “Beetlemania” without really knowing what the hell Obama is talking about. Hope? That’s rather nebulous. Issues? ALSO nebulous. I’ve not heard any details — their campaign truly sounds like a religious revival based on PURE EMOTION rather than rational thought and solid, concrete solutions. Give me a frickin break.

Looks like your husband is heading for the Dem nomination and for the first time you’re really proud of your country? You don’t ask for much do you? No “high maintenance” there.

Oh and “FYI”, repetition doesn’t make a point. It just makes you sound irritating.

Correction.

After listening one more time, it is clear that she meant she was never proud of being an American until now.

Of course, I believe her disclaimer that this her new found patriotism has nothing to do with her man’s big lead in the race.

I know what you’re thinking. Michelle is black, therefore a victim of racial discrimination. Therefore, she is justified in not being proud of being an American. You are right. We should all like Michelle hate our country until someone in our family starts winning in the Democratic nomination.

John…I have no right to have an opinion on this because I am not black? Excuse me but I certainly do have a right! This lady is a twit. Read “Out of America” by Keith Richburg, a black journalist, to get a little perspective.

Drudge Report Headline = 80+ comments by wackos rushing to snap judgments and creating inflammatory and hypocritical posts that only make their position sound dumber than it already is

Hey Adam, Hussein is part of his name, whats racist about calling him by his full name? And yes, I’m sure there are some racists commenting on this board, but the majority of people here would have no problem voting for a black man/women, just not this socialist.

Kyle, no, it makes no difference at all. I am proud of this country, or I am really proud of this country…sounds the same to me. Now they’ll go back and ‘clarify’ what she meant, that she has always been ‘proud’ of her country, now she is REALLY proud of it. LOL, reaching for straws here buddy.

Um, why is there a difference between her saying “really” proud of her country and “proud of her country” Mr. Spam-o-matic? I think she just stepped in a huge steaming pile, the smell of which she will have a hard time wiping off. What’s to not snap jusge about when someone says “for the first time in my adult life.” What is there to parse about that?

This does not play well to Americans who are proud of America for not being the fascist s***-hole state like the countries that are run by dictators that Hollywood-type America Haters are butt kissing on.

“Michelle disgusts me! Let’s get HER and Obamasamadingdong a oneway ticket to Kenya.”

You are exceptional at proving your point, and Michelle’s.

I really feel sorry for…, no embarassed by these Barack-o-maniacs that spend absolutely no time or brainpower researching him or his immature, vacuous and vague statements and policies.
He is an afro-centric Marxist (or perhaps has ignorantly chosen one for guidance?) and lacks any knowledge of how the real world works or what is at stake for America right now. As shrill and dishonest as Hillary is, at least she has balls.
Barack Hussein Obama is ripe for plucking and the wacky anti-American far left and our enemies are drooling, ready to eat him alive.
What an Obamanation! Emotion rules the immature left, not logic and reason.

Until now I have not been more proud of the Obama campaign.

John, since when has being black been the only criteria for being discriminated against. I’m getting really tired of this “poor me” bull from blacks. I would venture to guess that I have been subjected to more discrimination then Mr. and Mrs. Obama and you combined and I’m not black. This is a great country and it has been so for much longer then Mrs. Obama has been alive. If she feels that the only good thing she has experienced in that time is her husband being a candidate for President, she lives in a different world then I do. Maybe the problem is she feels that she is owed more then the comfortable life of an upper middle class woman. Maybe she should try to live in an urban ghetto where asians, blacks, latinos and even whites have seen great things happen all the time. Great things that come from being grateful for the small things that happen to regular everyday people who live regular everyday lives. Get off this Obama is your revenge for downtrodden blacks oppressed by “whitey” nonsense. I for one am sick of hearing it. If you want to vote for him at least have the decency to vote for him because you believe he can deliver on his promises not because he is black.

Oh come off the race stuff! She said an idiotic thing – don’t use race as an excuse for what is hopefully a temporary loss of common sense. Blacks vote for blacks in the voting booth. White majorities have voted for and placed blacks into office for governorships and mayor positions for years. There are a few white racist idiots out there, but whites don’t look at the color of a politician’s skin. Get over it! I don’t want a Democrat in the White House, but if blacks will quit whining about race if Obama is elected, I will vote for him, just so they’ll get over it. Just like an overwhelming majority of whites would have voted for Colin Powell for President.

Wow Adam, really reaching across the asile to us stupid idiots – how diplomatic you Obama folks are!

The context clearly doesn’t isolate just the last 15 years of politics to not be proud of. And what about 9/11 for a few minutes? Or the longest period of peace-time economic expansion in American history pulling millions up from poverty?

There are lots of points during Bush Clinton that are worthy of pride! You’d have to be really stupid not to notice one or two…

First off Mrs. Obama, if you’re not proud of your country, man, feel free to get the hell out! We have to put up a wall to keep people out, not in, so really, just board a plane and go where you might feel more comfortable, Africa perhaps? In case you don’t know it, millions of people around the world, would, and do, just about anything to get to this country, so please, feel free to help us make a little more room for them, and take that plagiarizing Obma Balama Osama Yo Mama husband with you, and simply leave!!

Since most Blacks are voting for the Black candidate, solely because he’s Black, I urge all Whites to do to very same, vote for the White person of your choice, but vote White!!

Hope is making a comeback, she’s right.

Josiah is right. When Obama loses, watch out. Blacks are not able to contain their anger, individually or in groups. You thought LA was something? Look out, America.

Now Now don’t be so hard on Michelle . After all she is just saying things she heard someone else say

Hey rabid right wingers–how old is she–she grew up through what? Nixon (there’s a man to emulate); WIN Ford; Carter and Iran; Regan–El Salvador, Contra Gate; Ballooning deficients; Bush 1–don’t take out Saddam, keep the Saudis happy; Clinton–”I did not have sex with that woman”; and of course Bush 2 (Yikes–talk about drunken sailors spending–a war without just cause)–give her some slack–look at our recent history–At least the message is hope–what has been the message of the past–”Well, I don’t recall (Regan’s infamous words).

It’s over for these two. They’d better “HOPE” this doesn’t get much media play. I’m sending a link to everyone I work with. Mass Emailing going on over here.

I can recall events on a daily basis that make me proud of my country. Mrs. Obama you make me sick!

This is a ridiculous statement.

Also, you’d have to be an idiot to make it in public when your husband is running for President.

Unfortunately, I’m a pessimist in that that all of these politicians (and spouses) are prima donnas.

The very fact that her husband has been on this path for YEARS should have made her proud of the opportunity this country often affords, as compared to many others, long ago – warts and all.

This pig should be thrown out of our country along with her ass husband. This country gave her an excellent education and great oportunities. OR she should face our brave men and women in the armed forces. Shame on HER

Kiss Ohio Goodbye Mrs. Obama.

That may have played in Cambridge, Boulder, or Skokie, but it won’t go over at all in Canton, Mansfield, Wapakoneta, Dayton, Piqua, Cincinnati…..

Shaker Heights, perhaps, but that won’t be enough.

Man was that stupid.

Oh, for crying out loud, people. I’m a 29 year old white woman and this election has been the first thing that has ever made me feel really patriotic, too. America has a lot of really bad stuff in its history, especially in the way it has treated black people. They have been left OUT of most of the things that people say make this country great. It is a little unreasonable to ask people to feel terribly patriotic about a government that, until very recently in our history, was used to oppress their families. But a few months ago people were saying America was way too racist to ever elect a black president, and now those people are being proven wrong. People who never felt like their votes meant anything are going to the polls. For once, they are getting a chance to feel a sense of ownership in this country and the democratic process. It’s really wonderful, and I think it is obvious that that is what Michelle intended by her statement.

With the majority of the press in ol’bama’s back pocket, this will get little life.

Sorry to say.

There go Obama’s chances of getting the nomination. Why on earth would she want to be the first lady of a country she’s not even proud of? She needs to pack up and go find a new country.

How many Senate votes has Obama missed in the past year? If he cannot represent Illinois, how do we expect him to represent run our country? If I didnt show up to work as often as Obama has not, I would be fired.

The first time in her life proud of her country?

Who is this $*)(@#_$*_#@*$

How dare she.

When Barrack is in office and has all women in burkas, we shall see how proud of her country she is.

Adam and FYI,

Is something on your mind? Take it from a native English speaker: “really” is a throwaway word that seldom literally counterposes the opposite as “fake.”

But if you *really* want to be literal (see how that works?) then I suppose she is revealing that she used to be a faker. There’s no good out.

This chick is something else…she really is full of herself and her hubby. I guess when the Berlin wall came down she wasn’t really proud, when the USSR fell she wasn’t really proud…too bad Saddam’s sons aren’t still raping women at will, then Michelle could be proud.

for an insightful look at the democrats please go to the following link and check out a couple of pages.

http://thevote.abc13.com/democrats/index.html

Hey, Marmaduke:

Let me explain to you why you’re an idiot:

His middle name was passed down to him from his grandfather, who fought in World War 2 in PATTON’S ARMY.

I realize that you’re pretty dim, and probably think that “Muslims” are out to get you when you go to sleep at night, but I have a remedy for you:

Ready?

STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS.

I think the Obama’s truly haven’t seen all America. I trust Hillary Clinton for seeing all of us, the veterans, the rural communities, the factory workers, the elite, the Republicans, the evangelicals, the wall streeters, the red, white, black and brown Americans, the right talk shows, the left talk shows, the media, and on and on and on. Moreover, I think the Obama’s have not really seen the world. Obama has not done as much “heavy lifting” as Hillary. Believe me, I sure want Hillary who I think is an FDR kind of President who knows we have major challenges and who can get us focused to change our energy policies and making us a more cost-effective country, getting affordable health care, and getting us out of Iraq sensible so we don’t bankrupt our country. Yes, we need jobs here, and we have to figure out how to keep them here so we have a middle class! I have been “HOPING” for change and HILLARY is it for me.

Obama, you just lost my vote and all those that will listen to me as to why.

This statement sickens me. I don’t agree with everything this country has and is doing, but today, my biggest disagreement is with the people who may still be taken in by this couple.

This woman makes me sick to my stomach. She has just offended every hard working American, including the men and women who have fought and given their lives so she can freely speak these idiotic comments. I am sick and tired of her stupid speak. She is the most condescending person EVER!!! What gives her the right to offend America over and over again. THIS WILL COST OBAMA THE ELECTION!!!!!

We will see who wins come November. And then you won’t be happy with this country, and you can leave.

typical liberal, traitorous to the core

as a white woman i completely understand where she is coming from. she did not say she doesn’t love this country; she didn’t say she wasn’t proud of the troops, or the volunteers, or the people. what she is saying is that we have lost the respect of the majority of the foreign countries, we don’t have allies helping us out in any great number in afghanistan or in iraq. katrina was an embarrassment. the handling of 9/11 aftermath was an embarrassment. bill clinton and monica lewinsky was an embarrassment. what was there to be proud of? obama is running on hope and bringing people of all races and parties together, and that, IS SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF FOR THIS COUNTRY.

as for his middle name being hussein, one of the best friends the united states had was king hussein of jordan, and now we have his son leading that country. hussein is just a name. stop showing your ignorance.

Barack will fix our souls! Hillary will change what it means to be a person!

Democrats are running pretty shallow when they, once again, look to a politician as savior, father, master, provider……

Here’s a factoid for you:

Since this country was founded, there have been more blacks killing and raping whites than the other way around by 3-fold, and that includes the slavery years.

Whose the racists now? But don’t let facts get in the way of the nonsense that comes out of the MSM.

Hmmm. Is this a black/white issue? I don’t think so. Although I am neither, I remember one incident from the Navy that stood out in my mind. We have to take training each month on a variety of topics. One month, it was on sexual assault. In all the pictures on-line, it was a white men assaulting women of color. Black, asian, hispanic, and then a picture of a white man in a position of power. What was strange to me was that my Chief was hispanic, my Department Head was a black female, and my Command Master Chief and Commanding Officer were both black. I pointed this out to Master Chief that this portrayal seemed a little strange and they changed it. My point is that it is easy to paint the picture as the white man as abusive with his power. Now all my chain of command were great leaders, but they had the power. And to a Sailor, both enlisted and officer, they were very grateful, inspiring leaders. I owe parts of my career to their help. Is Michelle Obama grateful too? I am not sure. I voted for Bill Clinton once and saw what he did to my Navy. I may consider John McCain.

I just wish Obama would say what he loves about this country other than his cry for Change.

For about the millionth time in my adult life, I’m embarrassed to be from Illinois.

What a disgusting utterance.

It is as much as saying, she has lived her whole life with the typical left-wing derogatory hateful attitude toward the US, but now that she and hubby have a chance of getting into the White House, she is all full of the warm fuzzies toward the US.

What a slimy person.

his middle name is hussein, ergo, he is an extremist Muslim terrorist named after saddam hussein….

you embarrass yourself.

people who can’t have educated political discussions and separate facts from propaganda, mudslinging, and media sensationalism make me less proud of my country. use your good judgement, do the research, don’t make decisions based on a stupid sound-byte.

and way to be ignorant bigots in the 21st century, some of you. constantly bringing race into unrelated issues is getting old.

Barack and his wife are full of hate for what the US stands for. They seem to not like anything about the US. This is a man who is running as an African-American who is really on 6.25% African, 43.75% ARABIC and 50% Caucasian. Check it out at http://kennethelamb.blogspot.com/2008/02/barak-obama-questions-about-ethnic.html

Very sad and I DID watch the entire video.

Racist liberals: I can’t wait until they destroy our culture, our economy, and our country.

Very Sad

The rampant racism, bigotry, and homophobia in these comments make me glad that I’m a liberal. How some of you can say such hateful things based on one off-the-cuff soundbite is shameful.

“They feel that America is the evil empire!”…”they hate the US”. please. you are absolutely clueless. Such hate and frustration from the Right. I guess I would be upset too if Bush was my party leader and I was cheering on McCain. good luck GOP. ha. you can’t win on the issues so rally around nonsense like this. mountains out of mole hills as usual.

I’m just stunned…Ms. Obama needs to look around the world and see how blessed we all are in this country. She clearly hasn’t a clue….God help us all if this women becomes First Lady…she’ll be apologizing all over the planet…giving our enemies all they need to work against us and the interests of peace and freedom.

“I am a true patriot and i am so sensitive and offended at comments like these that I am afraid I may not be patriotic anymore if hear anymore comments that can somehow be misconstrued to being unpatriotic.” – every moron offended by Michelle Obama’s statement

Come on people. Get over yourselves. If this is what gets you angry in the world, then I think we have bigger fish to fry. Millions of people are starving and dying around the world. Dictators and despots have taken away civil liberties in every corner of the planet. The world is too often a bad place. If this one line gets you so upset, then you clearly need to open your eyes and bring some perspective to your life. Not everyone in public office is going to speak and think, and act exactly like you. Not anymore. Now is the time that we have a politician who is cynical of the past and also the present so that we have the guts to move forward and solves these problems. It is about time someone in this country speak their mind instead of the same old crap that has mind numbed this country into the rut we are in.

The height of self centeredness. What about all the young men and women who fought and died in the last 30 years (the term of her adult life I assume) who made it at least possible for her to have her career, start a family, make quite a living, etc. I was ambivalent but pursuadable before, but I think I’ve swung negative now. Besides, I have no clue what ideas and principles we’re suddenly coalesced around anyways. What a nit.

Bill in DC: couldn’t agree more.

Well, she did get the “hope” and “change” message in. Starting to sound like “Pride” and “Joy”

Oh boy, someone just stepped into a big ol’ pile of smelly stuff.

Take note people, you are getting a glimpse into how liberal these people are. I guarantee Obama harbors resentment against this country, and eventually it will rise to the surface, just like it did with his wife. His parents super militant and I guarantee the apple doesn’t fall from the tree.

Miss Orange hit the nail on the head. If we have to reply on internet bloggers to interpret what Mrs Obama really means, Barak is screwed.

Sorry, but we are no longer the greatest country on earth. Canadians and Europeans are much happier and major indicators like child mortality and poverty are now higher in the US than other countries. Americans have almost no vacation time and work multiple jobs. The middle class is disappearing. Why? Because we’ve allowed ourselves to be divided by race and class. It will be tough for any President to remedy but I’ll put my faith in Barack Obama.

I agree with Michelle on this one(I’m white if that matters to you..which shouldn’t)

I was proud of my country when we invaded Afghanistan. I lost pride once we invaded Iraq

DIPLOMACY BEFORE SLAUGHTER!

I’m the kinda guy who acts peaceful until necessary.(I follow Buddhist and daoist Ideology and philosophy )

OBAMA 08! lets defeat the clinton machine and take the white house!

I’m just stunned…Ms. Obama needs to look around the world and see how blessed we all are in this country. She clearly hasn’t a clue….God help us all if this women becomes First Lady…she’ll be apologizing all over the planet…giving our enemies all they need to work against us and the interests of peace and freedom.

Expect a lot of Clintonian double-talk; “She meant was proud before, now she’s just really proud.”

One can go from not being not proud at all to being really proud. There are no necessary intermediate steps, like just being proud, or sorta proud, or whatever.

Its obvious what Mrs. Obama meant.

Goodbye Columbus….and Medina, Youungstown, and Cincinnati.

F’ING NIG@ER

MISS ORANGE, you’ve got Michelle confused with Hillary who invented backtracking. Michelle takes responsibility for what she says. She doesn’t need to spin it. It is what it is. What I find so amusing is that on EVERY TV NEWS OUTLET, they describe Hillary supporters as uneducated. LOL!!

Drudge, why is this even news?? I wouldn’t be surprised if she plagiarized her speech too, I don’t think they have an original thought between them. We don’t need another empty suit in the white house, 8 years was way more than we needed of that

Libs = socialist,no self control, lazy, welfare lovin, baby murdering, smut defending, hollywood brown nosing, pot smoking, mentally ill, no accountability, whiners. The worst America has to offer! And did I forget Cowards!

Austinite, you say, “Her point was to say that she is excited with amount of people who are interested in participating in the political process. That is exciting. In terms of the political process, it also makes the most proud I have been in my short 30 years of life.”

She’s an adult. She’s a Harvard graduate (How? I don’t know). She speaks English. Who asked you to become her translator/enabler? She didn’t say anything you said; she said what she said, which is this: “FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFETIME (”lifetime”/poor grammar), I AM REALLY PROUD OF MY COUNTRY.” What a loser.

“…For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.”
Then when will we see you and your hubby wearing an American flag pendant/lapel pin or holding your hand/s over your heart during the national anthem or reciting the pledge of allegiance?
Answer: Never gonna happen.

Democratic Party rule 1: It doesn’t matter who or what you truly are deep inside, just say the right things to get elected.

It is people like the posters here that make me not proud of our county! The majority of you are racist and completely disgusting. Who do you suggest we elect as our next president? McCain who supports a 100 year war? Or Clinton who’s husband pardoned terrorists to help win her a Senate seat? I mean seriously. I don’t blame her for being proud for the first time.

guys all of these trashy comments are berating of a woman that is simply proud of her husband i mean if you just take the time and listen to the whole speech she talks about the knocking down of barriers between races and genders i mean really think about where your negativity is trully coming from and give the woman a break because my fellow christian conservatives let us not be hippocrites for the Bible says “love ye one another”

I’m guessing none of you had made a statement that was misuderstood by the listener. Do you really think a Harvard education makes you perfect?

I am thankful for all members of our military, but you don’t have to tote a rifle to be a patriot.

I hope your family member gets home safe and soon.

Hey guys, let up a little! Michelle has had many reasons to be ashamed, and few reasons to be proud. She now feels she is coming into her own. Mrs Obama has been ashamed all of her adult life because she was accepted into Harvard Law School only to fill a racial quota. I know what it is like to be so insecure, and then finally believe the public actually loves you! You do love me, don’t you?

First time in her adult life? Unreal! Hope? Ya I hope her and her Socialist husband never have a chance to get there hands on my wallet.

FYI, thanks for trying “clarify” Michelle’s comments by repeating yours so many times. I’ll bet you’re voting for hope and change. I think you’ve missed MO’s point, however. She isn’t saying that now she’s super proud, e.g. really, really, proud of the USA, she saying that now she’s genuinely proud–as opposed to the fake pride she had to display durning Barack’s past campaigns. I can understand that. Can you imagine the shame that she and Barack must feel every day for being part of the Chicago Democrat slime machine? She knows that Barack would not have been elected to the senate if someone hadn’t leaked his opponent’s sealed divorce documents to the press. Do you think that was a happy accident? or was that part of the Chicago Democrat slime machine? Barack was a “community organizer” in Chicago. That’s Orwellian double-speak for race hustler. Moreover, they have to suck up to people like Ted Kennedy. Any way you slice it, he is a pathetic, shameless, person. Moreover, she and Barack attend a church that describes itself as being “true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.” As you might have guessed, that’s not the USA. As you might expect, his church’s ministries only seek to serve black people rather than all people in need. Not surprisingly, his church gave Farrakhan an award. That’s about the same as a church that McCain joined giving an award to David Duke.

The bottom line is that their entires lives have been one of masked bigotry and affirmative action. Personally, I think she’s free to feel as much shame, indignation, and hate toward the US as she wants, but I don’t think she and her husband are fit serve in the roles of Commander in Chief and first lady

I think it is refreshing to hear someone speak from their heart and say they are proud of the Americans who are in the grassroot movement trying to bring someone in that is new, brillant, and sees so many things in government that could be better. She admits that she is not a politcian. She is standing up in front of crowds speaking from her heart for her husband. You are mean and vicious when you put her down. This is what is destroying our country. I say bravo to Mrs. Obama for saying what she felt and speaking from the heart. I am a 60 year old educated white woman. Maybe if she had the moment to relive she would have reworded what she said, but I see nothing wrong with her words. The wrong here is all of your hateful thoughts and comments.

for the first time in my(adult) life i am ashamed of my country for falling for these two socialist

If I hadn’t seen the last couple presidential elections, I would be more shocked about the trivial crap people get themselves worked up about. If you want to base your decision about whom to vote for based on one poorly considered line instead of substantive health care, foreign relations, economics and civil liberties issues, you are part of the reason many people are finding it harder to remember why they’re proud of their country.

Michelle, why don’t you take your educated, Harvard degree self OUT of America- you obviously do not appreciate the wonderful things the USA offers to its (legal) citizens. Your comment was offensive, and reeks of race-baiting. What about CHANGE and HOPE, Michelle?

You and B Hussein can take the 1 way ticket back to Kenya. I’m so sorry that you’ve never been proud of the USA before your hubby started running for prez. I guess earning over $311,000/yr on your last job wasn’t enough?

You and Hussein and other Marxist, Stalinesque, Communist Comrades can leave this country any damn time you please. Cuba, Venezuela, Liberia, all nice places to live. Please stfu or leave. You make me sick with disgust.

God bless our troops, they have allowed Michelle to make her little anti-American statements. So many have died for our precious privileges that we take for granted. Bye-bye Obamas! Don’t let the door hit ya… say hello to Minister Farrakhan on your way out! You know his number, I think you and Jeremiah Wright are on the “Minister’s” speed dial.

What a self-absorbed statement. Its such an eye opener that this statement should come from anyone running for public office, or related to that person. It shows a lack of a love of this country, its history, its values, and lack of the knowledge of how we have in the past sacrificed ourselves for the needs of others. This is the type of person who would tarnish the office of the President of the United States.

I remember one incident from the Navy that stood out in my mind. We have to take training each month on a variety of topics. One month, it was on sexual assault. In all the pictures on-line, it was a white men assaulting women of color. Black, asian, hispanic, and then a picture of a white man in a position of power. What was strange to me was that my Chief was chicano, my Department Head was a black female, and my Command Master Chief and Commanding Officer were both black. I pointed this out to Master Chief that this portrayal seemed a little strange and they changed it. My point is that it is easy to paint the picture as the white man as abusive with his power. Now all my chain of command were great leaders, but they had the power. And to a Sailor, both enlisted and officer, they were very grateful, inspiring leaders. I owe parts of my career to their help. Is Michelle Obama grateful too? I am not sure. I voted for Bill Clinton once and saw what he did to my Navy. I may consider John McCain.

I just wish Obama would say what he loves about this country other than his cry for Change.

I agree with her. America is the only Western nation left that doesn’t provide health care for citizens. Other countries pay you to go to school, pay for your health care, provide you six weeks paid leave a year to be with your family. America just takes your money, kills your sons and daughters and takes away our rights. There isn’t any reason to be proud of America. I’m so ashamed of my country and wish it would catch up to the rest of the world. This country is in the toilet and we have greedy fake Christians and Republican warmongers to blame for it. The Prince of Peace won’t sit quietly forever while evil is done in His name.

————————-

America needs to catch up with the rest of the world? You obviously don’t travel much. The rest of the world is trying to catch up to the USA. And i am not a christian but your greedy christian comment was foolish. No one gives more money to needy people in the USA and around the world than christians. I hope more libs keep talking like you.

I am fearful for our country…I can not believe this came from someone who attended Ivy league schools, and have lived the American dream are so ashamed of this wonderful country…
I am not a big McCain fan but he will be getting my vote in November…look what he went through so she can spew stuff like this!

This adam dink must be 14 or 15 what an igno tool! Lib=socialism, and Government control like you have never imagined numbnuts! Go to cuba dork!

For the first time in my life I’m ashamed that a silly dingbat might become first lady. Can anyone tell me why the corrupt Obama, an Illinois community housing activist who was caught taking kickbacks and favors from one of the developers he was obtaining government grants for, get’s a pass on having one of the biggest builders of government housing in Illinois buy a house next door to Obama & donate at below cost to the Obamas a piece of his lot so the Obamas can have a bigger back yard as a thank you & payback (kickback) for Obama’s favors. This is a pretty stupid way for Obama to get a kickback. Only an idiot in Obama’s position would get involved in such a scheme with a private developer for whom he’s helping get government financing and grants. At least Hillary could disguise the kickbacks better. Why does Obama get a pass for this obvious corruption and foolishness. Can’t even cover up a good kickback scheme, but thinks he’s qualified to be the Pres?

I have to agree with Madame Obama. I have never been all that proud of her country either…where ever that is in Africa. I LOVE THE USA THOUGH! GOD BLESS AMERICA & Kick out ALL race-card playin’, Constitition-hatin’ enemys of the state!

If black people can’t be proud of the USA then why would one want to lead it? Can you lead something you’re not proud of?

Anna G,

PR. Oh that’s great. But if that’s the case, I want to be paid for my vote.

Just another American African accusing the GREAT UNITED STATES of AMERICA for her short comings.

Sam of MD is just so mature with his comments but I guess what would you expect from an obomo supporter. No discernable message in his speech, less intelligence in his followers.

Today, Michelle Obama said that she is proud of America for the first time in her adult life. How sad that Michelle Obama couldn’t

find it within herself to be proud of our country when Americans became so united after 9/11. Did she feels no pride when

Americans accross the country rallied around the citizens of the gulf coast after Hurricane Katrina? When Americans literally gave

their blood, time, and untold millions of dollars worth of food, water, clothing, building supplies and their hard earned money to

help their fellow Americans in need, Michelle Obama felt nothing?

However, today, when some Americans are grasping to her Husband’s message of hope, she finally feels pride. I, for one, am proud

of Americans who are doers, and not just hopers.

My goal in this election is to elect a doer, and that’s Hillary Clinton. I won’t just hope that Hillary is the next President

of the United States. I’m going to do something about it. I will continue to contribute, talk to my friends, family, and strangers

about a candidate that know’s about action and getting the job done for America.

No, Newsflash, nimrod, military people salute and most citizens put their hand over their heart during the SINGING of the National Anthem.

What a dumb-ass!!!

More platitudes. These people need to come up with better material.

“Change…….hope……yada, yada, yada.

Today has truly been a sad demonstration of how despite all efforts the same politics cannot be avoided. It had finally gotten to where you could watch a Presidential debate and not be turned away by the constant bickering. You could listen to the issues and decide which candidate you supported. Now, however, we have returned to the latest gossip of who said what and whose doing what. Bill Clinton was on You Tube for his attacks of a person that was against abortion just yesterday. Today its Michelle Obama. And in both instances if you listened to them and didn’t judge them you could see what they were trying to say. Clearly Michelle Obama wasn’t saying she has never been proud to be an American, and there is no need to call her names. She is a mother, she is highly intelligent, and more she is a human being that many of us have never met. Therefore, we shouldn’t rush to judge her nor be so harsh. She appears kind and simply misspoke like so many of us have at times.

We should all try to imagine cameras on us at all times and our every move being critiqued. This is an important election with important issues and the recent mud slinging is not helping anyone understand who they want to vote for.

People make mistakes, and no one can say they’ve ever made a comment that didn’t get taken a different way than it was intended. This election has drawn more people in and more people are voting. The more the mudslinging persists the less and less people like to be involved. And the racial comments are truly unnecessary, we have all moved past such ridiculous statements and attitudes. She clearly meant she was proud to see people uniting and coming together, stating how proud that made her.

Oh, I’m sorry, just dropped into a White Supremacist’s meeting accidently. Carry on!

Larry C, I know exactly what she meant to say. It is the same self hating liberal garbage this constantly spewed from Bill Maher, Nancy Pelosi, Hollywood Celebrities and the rest of the left wing elitists..And I will tell you the god’s honest truth, Obama almost had me sold. I will not vote for this man, no way, no how..

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!

Just when I find a reason to like a DemLib His spouse opens her foolish mouth & ruins it all!
Michelle: Please, PLEASE just SHUT-UP & SMILE…

What a friggen stupid thing to say.. Things are going her way and NOW she’s proud….geeesssseee

The first time, eh? She wasn’t really proud at every step along the way her husband did better? Let these Dems speak- it shows what they really think.

Also, why is it lefties can not spell ‘Reagan’?

For the 1st time in my adult life, I’m realizing that this woman is an idiot

Let’s not accuse people of being racist for not supporting a candidate who happens to be of African descent. I happen to support the idea of Obama for VP. However, if he wins the nomination and Hillary Clinton is not on the ticket, I will go to the polls in November and do what Barrack Obama has done SO MANY times. I will insert a write-in candidate named “Present” and vote for Present.

I was very proud of my country when I was just old enough to understand that my grandfather fought in WWI to defend Europe and the World against the axis powers.

And I was very proud when I learned that my father was just 18 when he fought in WWII to defend Europe and the World against the axis powers.

And I cried when I was told that my uncle was just 18 when his submarine was lost in WWII defending Europe and the World.

And it makes me sick to think that my mother still mourns her brother’s sacrifice for someone like Michelle Obama.

Vote for someone who loves this country – warts and all!

“James February 19th, 2008 – 2:54 am

Many people posting here are crazy. Is everybody supposed to be proud of there country? Growing up black in America and you are supposed to be waving an American flag? She is right, and Im not even proud of this country.”

James, Please leave our country right away. We do not want nor need you here. I am sure you add nothing…just a taker.

I nomination Mark as the idiot blogger of all time for his mindless repetition of a stupid (and false) statement as shown above.

Also, at the risk of being called a racist, Ms Obama has not improved her image with her silly statement.

You go, Mr. Wexler! You tell them!

My wife, a democrat, just told me she switched her vote to McCain.

THEY CLIPPED “REALLY” OUT OF THE VIDEO. HOW DESPERATE FOR SOMETHING NEGATIVE ARE YOU SORRY SACKS?????

I for one, don’t see why everyone’s so up in arms over this comment. We’ve had a bush/Clinton in the White House for the past 28 yrs. WTF? Can you, as a reasonable adult, pretend to act like any of these people are the best America has to offer? Read a book for gawdsakes huh? Michelle is right on track in my book. Our name has been dragged through the mud for close to 3 decades now and it IS high time for change. All you shrub votes repeat after me: ‘my whole family’s haal baallies’. Morons

If you think this recent comment of hers is racist or insensitive you should google some of her other doozies. The Press doesn’t report on them though because they WANT Obama to win. They want to make him the messiah and savior. They love the hype and hysteria and cult following his campaign has become.

For the rest of us, it’s just pretty scary that hype can actually place Obama in this position. One he does not deserve. In America we do things the good old fashioned way…..we EARN it!!

What’s interesting is the Drudgereport just took down the headline, and there is no link..What is going on?? Did someone get to them?

Let’s not get hasty. It’s hardly fair or logical to read a world view into a few paltry words. Mrs. Obama seems to be speaking to her pride at riding a wave of unified support. She’s going in front of national audiences interacting with an extremely diverse group of supporters all of whom believe in her husband but more importantly believe in the message her husband proffers that, “we are the ones we have been waiting for.” I can totally understand her pride at being at the center of that movement. Even if you think Obama is just full of rhetoric, you have to admit that it’s the sort of rhetoric that has propelled this country through the years to try and live up to more than we have often proved ourselves to be. Don’t lambaste Ms. Obama for a few words out of her personal context. There may be such a thing as nostalgia, but it never really was that great way back when. America is both the Declaration of Independence and the history of slavery, the triumph of WWII and the single nation to detonate an atom bomb (or two), the patriotism of 9/11 and the misuse of that nationalism. Things are a lot more complicated than we often give it credit for– it’s the only thing that keeps us separate from the animals.

I am an African American female 58 years of age. I understand exactly what Michelle was saying.Over the centuries of this country African Americans have not really received the respect and consideration of being recognized as equal.For the first time in our history,the country is seriously considering an African American for president and race is not the issue but who can best lead us into the 21st century.I have a lot of caucasian friends and even though we hear the same words but somehow they mean different things to different races.

this chaps my a___! thousands of our military overseas,not to mention the tens of thousands who have died in our history to protect our freedoms,and this person says,”for the first time she is proud?” because her socialist,marxist,snake oil salesman hubby is doing well politically? it makes me equally mad to know that there are so many americans actually supporting this crap!

Obama is just all talk no action. Although, he did say he was going to talk with Iran and Syria while bombing Pakistan.

Michelle Obama just spoke her mind! She had a brain fart of truth! If she harbored such lack of pride for a country that afforded her an Ivy League education ( It is entirely possible she did not have to score very high on the standardised tests either to make it there) and a life of previlege, it seems to me only the Presidency for her plagiarizing husband would suddenly increase her pride for this country! Come on people! I am an immigrant myself and I am thouroughly outraged because I am grateful for the opportunity this country has provided for me and my family! Do not waste your vote please and don’t fall for his idle rhetoric!

I did this to get back at SAM! Forgive me…

Michelle and I are the same age. While attending college in the 1980’s, there was NO racism on campus. Those who worked and studied hard graduated, went on to grad school, etc. People got along, partied together, studied together, shared dorm rooms. So wtf is she yakking about?

Michelle is fabricating the racist days of the 1960’s, I guess she’s the race-baiter in the family. Thank you for the heads up on what is in your heart. You and Hussein really hate this country, don’t you? What happens if you lose the nomination or election?

I am predicting now that there will be rioting, burning, looting and chaos if he loses. Blacks have been race baiting for years, and the payoff is immense. So you’d best vote for Obama and his posse. Or else…grab your weapons, and be prepared!

Uh-no you di- int! :-0

She’s proud of her country for the first time in her adult life because “people are hungry for change”. So essentially she’s not proud of what it is but only what she and her hubby and the democRATS are going to do to our country. Guess if we were the weakest country in the world, we all lived in mud and dung huts and ate bugs, our country was a dictatorship and there was no hope for the future that would be a change. Mmmmm sounds goooooooddd.

Shame on all you people who have said these awful things about a woman who has done more than any you to assist people in their day to day lives.

Last time I checked, the ‘other guy’ who ran for president from the Illinois legislature did a fine job by most accounts. He too was tagged with the inexperience line. What’s his name….. oh yeah, ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

“You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn’t it? I mean, that is fantastic that you’re doing that.” — GWB to a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska, Feb

It took her this long? Must have gone to public schools.

She’s and her husband are nothing more than egomaniacs.

No votes for you!

There’s nothing about this country that makes her proud, unless it’s her husband running for president. She’s no where near ready to be first lady of this land, nor is he ready to be our country’s leader. Go back to Chicago and reflect a few years on the things in this country that you should be proud of. I don’t want these people as our president and first lady.

AN OLD AND DEAR FRIEND TOLD ME LONG AGO…..
WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THE WORLD THAT HE
IS GLAD THAT HE HAS MORE DAYS BEHIND HIM THAN HE HAS IN FRONT.OF HIM..HE WAS VERY DISPOINTED WITH ALL OF THE U.S.A. PROBLEMS ,CRIMES,RIOT’S,SHOOTINGS AND THE WAY OUR GOVERNMENT RUNS OUR COUNTRY..IT DOSE NOT MAKE SENCE TO ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR AN OFFICE THAT PAYS $300.000 ??A YEAR..OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS GIVE ME THE FEELING THAT LOOK FOR “WHATS IN IT FOR ME”..OR “WHERE IS MINE”.I WILL NOT VOTE OBAMA I DO NOT CARE FOR HIS WIFE’S
REMARKS AND IT IS SAD TO SAY THAT I WILL BE VOTING FOR THE LESSER OF THE EVIL’S..VERY SAD…

I dont no bout much, but my uncul/daddy would make a grate prezidint. He wuz torturd so much he wunts to share it with aal of us! Tortur for aal! When he kissses me i can taste fallwells gooch. Yummy!

They (Obama’s) just don’t believe in making any real “WORD” promises do they? Hope, my friends, is from God, Faith in God is what you need, especially if they win. They have never once spoken about a plan and a direction.

All you Obama lovers better think twice about what you are doing. There is a real world out there, and it isn’t just around us. Those people that hate us, they are real and what would Obama do about that problem? Obama is too green behind the ears for that entire situation, doesn’t anyone see that? This will not affect us just now, we are talking not only today and tomorrow but the future with these hate mongers.

Think people, Think before you vote!

This woman doesn’t have a clue as to why she should be proud of America and apparently a lot of posters to this board are equally as clueless. She just proclaimed the efforts of millions of Americans; to bring “justice to the oppressed and downtrodden” not only to this country but to countries throughout the world, as worthless. She just proclaimed the deaths of more than a few whites, fighting for the equality of blacks, as not worthy of her notice. Is she, and a lot of you, so thankless that you allow the actions of some to taint the goodness of the rest? Are you really so far down the road of self pity that you actually believe that America has done nothing worthy for you to be proud of? This woman has been handed the world on a platter and its not good enough! The questions becomes, is it just this woman or is it a black thing? Does Mr. Obama believe that he too deserves more before he has something to be proud of? Yes, I am mad, why I am supposed to take on the burden of misdeeds that occurred long before my family even heard of this country. Well guess what, I am not willing to accept blame for something that happened a hundred years ago to Blacks and Indians. I am not willing to accept blame for something that a few greedy men are doing in foreign lands. I am not willing to accept blame for something that a few frightened men are doing in our own land. Nor should you be willing to use these examples to point an accusing finger at the rest of us. Maybe you have some pathological need to take on the blame for others misdeeds but I am not willing to accept blame for ANYTHING someone else does in my country’s name. I am an American, I live a simple meaningful life. I see other Americans, living the same as I do, who do things that I am proud of every day. Is she, and you, so used to having the great things offered by this country that you find nothing is good enough to be proud of? The idiocy of choosing a “rock star” with a promise over a professional with experience is breathtaking in its folly yet there are many on this board willing to accuse anyone, who thinks it is idiocy, as racist. If that’s your criteria then I am a racist, a HUMAN RACIST. I believe that America will survive the shortsightedness of people who use the color of ones skin as the primary criteria for choosing a leader. And, I will continue to be proud to be an American.

I tried to tell you all that coloreds are retarded.
It’s in their DNA.

Vote Obonobo cuz “We need change, and I can give you the hope, that will change the hope, and make it seem like it’s un-changed, in hopes of a future, where the past is behind, and today is now, and the future will change from today to tomorrow, and we’ll hope against hope for some spare change.”

thank you Mr. Soros. :)

Dann T and Problem S: you are both dumb ignorant racists….shut up and go read your comicbooks

I could not believe the arrogance. This country has provided so much to be proud of, even if I don’t agree with all the policies. This is a quote that would follow her as “first lady”. Not to be proud of her nation. What is scary is that someone probably wrote those words for her. The arrogance extends to more than just the Obamas put to the campaign structure. The arrogance of selfishness not hope.

I guess the Civil War doesn’t matter.

and what this country has done for her to make her NOT REALLY PROUD of it!

Outrageous. Insulting. She wants to be First Lady? And she’s never been proud of her country?! I had admired her until this. She’s lost my respect. And vote.

“… for the first time…”

Pathetic display of typical ungrateful ni99er behavior!

níggermania.com

This self-love pageantry is all we are going to get if America votes for Obama. I am a minority and feel myself shying from the “change,” so that I can magically unite with all the others, when I never really felt that left out in the first place. It is people like Obama that give me an inferiority complex. He and his wife are using scare tactics to divide and conquer!!!

Now we know why Obama was involved in that 1999 gay drug scandal. You would too if married to her. Go to World Net Daily for more info on the scandal.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! First her husband refuses to respect the national anthem now for the first time she is proud of her country?!?!?! I strongly suggest that she spend several years in other countries and see how that makes her feel about her country. Frankly it does not seem to me that either one of them has loyalty th our great country!

Hey Keith,

I’m an Italian-American. Does that mean I should be proud of my country only if an Italian-American has a shot at being President?

Nope and that is not what Michelle Obama was saying, although all you folks seem to want to believe she is not a proud American, rather than just a self-professed really proud American.

Something I would assume you would be Marco if your wife were the first Italian American woman to run for President (Rudy sure didn’t do so well now did he).

She was disappointed when the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union collapsed because she is a Marxist & saw them as defeats for her side. She is hopeful now but for a Marxist revolution in the US including socialized medecine. Daniel Ortega, communist thug dictator of Nicaragua, has endorsed obama and says a revolution is coming to America. He is talking about a Marxist revolution but I’m joining the one like we had in 1776. Bring it on, Hussein.

At least she’s honest. I can only assume Barack feels the same way. She will only be proud with a socialist America, along with the idiot liberals voting for Obama.

For the first time in my life,I am REALLY afraid. This lady and her husband may fool enough people to get elected and we will be doomed to a socialistic existence.He is like the Pied Piper leading the lemmings into the sea.I cannot believe so many people have been mesmerized by his ravings.He is an empty suit with nothing to offer but a pipe dream.Talk is cheap.Empty retoric is just that.I hope all of you dreamers know what “Sharia Law”entails.It is coming to a place near you.France knows it,Great Britain knows it,Canada knows it. God,protect us from what may be in store……More knee jerk crap from the Sick Far Right.”Right”is the operative word.Can you say as much?

I feel I must comment on Michelle Obamaa’s comment that she is just now really proud of America..for the first time in her adult life. I hope that you notice I give her the credit for her words. I doubt whether Barak Obama was as honest in giving Patrick the credit for his words.

America is my home and America is my country. For better or worse, with all its warts and battered scars, say what you will, this is still the best country ever founded. From the time the final signature went onto the Declaration of Independence to the last news report on t.v tonight, I still hold dear the ideals on which this country was founded, duty and service to the community and to this country and to the world.

Barak Obama keeps talking change. Does he want us to change who we are? WE ARE AMERICANS and if Michelle Obama has never been proud of America and being an American,then she and her husband who are so adamant about making changes are not fit to lead this country..despite all of Oprahs money and special interest.

I would rather throw my lot in with those who ran to the aid of the World Trade Center victims than those who are more in line with those who hit the World Trade Center.

What direction? Talk? Empty suits? Obama cousin and brother are in Kenya trying to enforce shariah law on the country, 1000 killed, 300,000 displaced. How far apart are their policies? He has never condemned them. His policies will ruin the USA, maybe that is his plans?

It’s odd that moving in a different direction, whatever that may be, is what made Mrs. Obama proud of this country for the first time in her adult life. The only civil war in history to free those in slavery was fought in this country. I guess all the battlefield deaths for achieving that freedom means nothing to the benefactors these days.

I don’t like Michelle Obama. I think the Obama camp in general had divided Democrats. A good example is how most of the media gave a free pass to Mrs. Obama when she was asked if Hillary wins the nomination if she would support her and she said she didn’t know and would have to think about it. Is this the kind of change the Obama camp is talking about? I’m supporting Hillary Clinton because I think she is better on the issues. Hillary is strong, tested, and experienced which means Republicans won’t be able to use the National Security issue to win the national election with Hillary but they can and will do it to Obama if the nomination is handed over to him. Another thing that concerns me about Obama is how in 2004 he called for missile strikes against Iran and now he says very different things when it comes to Iran and this is another important issue Republicans will be able to use against him is this big flip flop. Cher recently came out and endorsed Hillary and I agree with her, Hillary is the best choice for President. Obama is also way too far to the left and most Americans are more moderate. The question now is have Democrats learned anything from the 2004 election?

One of the most horrible things I have ever heard from any American

where does her patriotism and loyalties lay, if not with the USA?

That is a slap in the face to all Americans, all those who help build this great nation.

A kick in the Face to all who have ever served or died, making this country or protecting it.

Obama took the name of his book from his spiritual advisor, he use parts of famous speechs, he used his friends speech. His ohio ad he tried to win votes, by making him seem his mother was poor and had to worry about her medical bills. he evades or talks around issues. He has people pumped up that he will make their life good.

He would make a Great Preacher.

In one of her first interviews, she said at first she did not want obama to run for president. maybe her subconscious is speaking out, and she is trying to sabotage his campaign.

God Bless America

we are gonna need it

What a B****! How Dare Her. And this lady wants to be the next first lady?!?!

Did Michelle steal that speech too?

The FIRST time? What a loose canon this women would be as first lady.

Who does this cooze think she is ? What an insult and slap in the face for the greatest nation on earth.

SHAME, SHAME, AND EMBARRASSMENT. With that attitude, she is shamefully UNFIT to be a “first lady.”

“Color” or not – it is embarrassing that a potential “first lady” admits to having her entire “adult life” – if you want to call it that – in shame of her country. A life that provided her a law degree, etc., in the most prosperous country in the world. That is shame and embarrassment, all right – on HER.

change change change…

by the time the election comes around.. The people will be afraid of what “change” means they will be AFRAID to vote for them.

Just saying “We want change” is about as 5th grade as that tv show..

Are you smarter than an 5th grade voter?

Most seems to have the answer of “no”

What a FOOL! She is as full of gas a her husband BALACK Obama!

give me a f…ing break…where has our country gone…oh thats right…we do not have one anymore…everytime I turn on the news…all I see is Hillary and Osama bama….Maybe canada would not be such a bad place after all…thank you all for destroying the United States of America…..

Because Barack stands for Change and Hope! Because there is hope for the future and the future can be changed. Because without hope there is no change and without change we dare not hope.

As Bugs Bunney would say what a Maroon!!!

It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious

That is SAD. With everything this country does to bail out 3/4’s of this planet, all the good we do and she is just now proud of this country. She is either so naive, prejudiced or living with her head in the sand that it now scares the hell out of me to let her and her family anywhere near the White House, heck the senate for that matter. I am quite frankly disgusted. Her husband is a United States Senator and she in only just now proud. Go to hell!!

Change, change, change. What “change”? What does this guy stand for? “Change” what?? “Change” how??

Not all change is for the good. I suspect that this guy wants to change the USA into a socialist state. A Robin Hood state. Steal from those who have to give to those who don’t have as much.

Now don’t get me wrong…I think those that have much of this world’s goods ought to help those who don’t. But a person ought to have a choice to give and not the Government yank hard-earned money out of one person’s hands to give to another.

What a disgraceful thing to say, that for the 1st time in her life she’s proud of her country……and it’s for “hoping for change” or some garbage like that. I guess that means that if McCain beats her husband, she’ll have to retract that proud feeling and wait another X years. She’s a freaking moron, and not at all informed about our country’s greatness. I can think of about 50 things, incredibly important and substantial, to be proud of our country during the last 25 years — since she’s been an adult. What an unbelievable Moron, hopefully never to be the First Lady Moron!

:O) You can almost hear the drool and froth :O)

Wake up people.

so our country has had nothing to be proud of in the 40+ years of her life? but now because liberals in a democratic primary are voting for her husband, she is proud? What a selfish mindset. Almost narcisistic in nature. I guess she really believes her husband is the “savior” this country needs. He is greater than Kennedy, Reagan, Bush, Carter, Clinton, and all the other men and women (democrats and republicans) that have served our country in the last half century. Give me a break.

“Hope” For the unborn?

I liked Obama as a person although I’m not sure about his policies. I am troubled after being reminded he refused to salute the American flag.
I’ve never seen him use the race card and I respected him for that, but his wife is the polar opposite. She seems totally embittered and if this is the first time she’s been not ashamed of her country, she must have been hanging out in back alleys of an urban ghetto.
Thanks for the reminder that we can do worse than least favorite Republican, John McCain.

Is America ready for a black first lady? That is the real question.

She got a free ride to Princeton and Harvard, and the ungrateful twerp still hated her country.

Forget Obama.

Obama’s people must be in damage control after that statement. It comes across as anti-American. Although America is not perfect, this great country should be respected for the freedoms and liberties that so many have bravely died for.

Make me proud and go back to Africa and run for first lady of Kenya. No way in hell do American haters like this deserve the honor of being President and First Lady of this great country.

I am a 55 years old naturlized US Citizen. USA is the greatest Country in the world. I am sorry to say that Mrs. Obama is not ready for prime time. If Obama would not become the president, I guess she will retunr to be one of those “Blame America First” crowd.

We’re acknowledging White people have anything to be proud of? What a groundbreaking idea! Can the Klan be far behind?

That was a dumb statement on Michelle’s part. If she has only been proud of the USA for a recent fleeting moment, what’s to say that we end up with a first lady who is genuinely embarrassed by her own country again and again before too long?

The statement also exposes the whole “hope” thing as BS. How can you come as far as African American’s have over the past 40 years and still not be proud of the country at some civil rights victory along the way?

OMG? Has she never been to Arlington? I guess some can only be proud of their country when it does something earthshattering for them personally.

Ask not what your embarrassing country can do for you, Michelle….

So…when Black Obama loses, she’ll go back to not being proud of her country?

Say goodnight Gracie.

File under Duh.

This is sad. Mrs. Obama has a better life than me and I have and always will be proud of the United States.

This just confirms my uneasiness about Barack Obama. Obama’s lack of American flags at his rallies are a big turn off for me also. Pay close attention people.

For the first time in my adult life, I think I could vote for McCain.

Is she for real or playing a race card. A country that made it possible for her to make some big money, prestige, her husband to run for president and “For the first time I am proud of my country”. She is a shallow, ungrateful, self centered person who should be label as such. I am white and would welcome having only half of what she has. She is not bright!

Bye bye team Obama but the cat is out of the bag. I actually thought the looney left rhetoric would come out much later. No wonder garbage like these people are so loved by the people who hate the USA.

RACIST – RACIST – RACIST!!! I think that white people – for the first time – should wake up and see what the reality is around them. These people don’t like us or the country, the greatest country on earth, that the white men created.

Wow,she’s finally proud to be an American. I hope, as an American, I don’t get grouped into the same hate-america first crowd she and B. Hussein Obama preach to. I like the ‘idea’ of Obama, meaning that a black (half) man can become president, but Barak is a socialist..almost Facist in his beliefs and will absolutely wreck this nation.

I think I’ve figured out where the Klan gets their news.

I’m surprised that I didn’t see the “N” word.

-Wexler

Michelle, You are a disgrace and horrible example of a role model. Why have you been so unhappy as an American?

There’s a lot of rage in the preceding comments. I wonder what these people are so angry about? It shouldn’t come as a shock to them that a black woman’s experience in this country over the course of the last thirty years might be of many of our country’s imperfections.

A veritable chorus of praise for the country from a group of people for whom criticism is tantamount to sedition.

You may be aware that there’s a line of thinking in which criticism of country is, in fact, construed as patriotic.

Whereas calling Sen. Obama, “Balack”; reminding us his middle name is Hussein; calling his wife a “b*tch”; or telling us they should “return” to third-world countries may be the kinds of racist, sexist things that have made Ms. Obama less that fully willing to say, “all in this country is perfect.”

The same line of thinking that construes criticism as patriotism often thinks that deliberate self-delusion about the state of the country is in fact less than a full exercise of the responsibilities of patriotism.

Scary.

Patriotism is not a whim. She should be proud of her country *all* the time because we are the freest country on Earth, regardless of what some liberals would like to make people believe. I’ll never understand the mindset of not being proud of the American federal government until the most socialist presidential candidate in history is close to taking its reigns.

Hey obama campaign managers – you got a real winner :(

If her husband loses the race then what will this pinhead feel? The thought of these two black nationalists with Muslim leanings taking control of our country makes me ill.

The fact that this nutcase and her husband who has said nothing but platitudes and is getting so much support means it’s the end of the USA.

It’s the end people. WAKE UP and READ YOUR BIBLE!

With her as first lady I’m sure the country will be much much gooder. Anyone know what hole she crawled out of?
Oh and for Obama, if anyone here can tell me one thing that he has accomplished while in public office and what he is “changing” besides the Iraq war, I will vote for him. All I hear is “change” and some more “change” and than some more “change”, is he ever gonna tell us what he is changing?… a light bulb?

Though voting for McCain assures us of WWIII, for the first time in my life I am considering voting for him. I would rather have a war mongering, hot tempered devil leading us than racist, America hating black trash. Lord have mercy on us all.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on her. Who the hell does this person think she is. Im proud of my country and all the great things this country stands for and what its done not just for us but for people the world over. Now SHES finally proud after 30 years because a black man has made some waves in a presidential election. Gee thanks, Michele. ,mighty generous of you. So youve been ashamed of this country for all those years. Maybe you should of moved then. Im outraged that this could be our first lady someday. Are you kidding me. Yea a radial left wing angry nut job in the white house whispering n the presidents ear. Not that he needs any encouragement. What a crew. DISGRACEFUL

I am outraged by Michelle Obama’s comment that she is proud of this country for the first time in her life.

I think this comment should be taken very seriously. It is a manifestatiion of the philosohpy and agenda of this couple, which is a Marxist program fueled and hidden by politically correct buzzwords like “change” and “unity” and the ever amorphous “hope”.

What’s going to be the next statement, some “five year plans” to mobilize the population to “rebuild” america physically, politically, and philosophically.

When will the strains of “the internationale and we shall overcome” be blaring from the White House–On Jan. 20, 2009?

Hey Mrs. Obama,

Go to the back of the bus, bitch. We (the REAL AND PROUD AMERICANS) have been proud of this country BEFORE YOU WERE BORN.

Man, what a “choice” for the most powerful man in the (former) free world.

You’d think (at the least) she would have been proud of American on the day Oprah made her first BILLION.

This is also the woman who introduced her husband as “My baby’s daddy” here in Illinois. May God have mercy on us if they are elected to represent this country. You Michelle are no Jacquiline Kennedy.

wow! As an American by choice who got my citizenship 20 years ago, it’s a shame to see candidate’s wife saying this .

Regardless of what party you belong to, America has done more good for the world and its citizens than any-other country in the world!

If she was not proud of her country before, they why she let her husband run for an office? if she is not proud of this country, which country she is proud of? Kenya!?

shame on her, she lost my respect!

I am sorry but that is absolutely disgusting and pathetic. “For the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country…[because my husband is doing well.]” What a patriot, prepare for our country to go down the sh***er if this woman makes it to the White House.

Kryptonite to Stupid

So…when Black Obama loses, she’ll go back to not being proud of her country?

Thank you for taking the words out of my mouth. This black woman, as a minority, has been a part of the most privileged crowd on earth – from a Harvard education, to a high paying job, to a chance at first lady. Show me one other place on earth where that is possible people?

America, I actually am ashamed that you would even give consideration to an American-hating, Afro-centric racist to occupy our highest office.

What more do you need to hear before you recognize a vote for this ilk is selling everything that makes America great, warts and all, right down the river?

I thought she was most proud when Barak freed the slaves. My mistake.

She ought to be ashamed of herself. Perhaps she ought to compare this country with those that punish women–even kill them–for wearing make-up or being in the company of men that aren’t their husbands, that make women cover the face in public, won’t let them drive, etc. How about countries that mutilate young women in tribal rituals, or countries with persistent high unemployment rates that are double, triple the rate in the United States or more. She’s not proud that the United States provides billions in aid globally every year to the poor and the sick, and we are often the first to deploy help and assistance when natural disaster strikes hard around the world. She’s not proud that we have a free press? That we can celebrate any religion that we choose? She’s not proud that young American women have more opportunities in education, business, athletics, and more than any nation on earth? She’s simply out to lunch. I, for one, don’t want a first lady that simply ignores what is great about this country.

NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY HE DOESNT WEAR THE FLAG PIN ANYMORE !!!! WH

A true patriot!

She better watch it or she’ll do for Barack what Bill is doing for Hillary. Let’s hope so!

This just in…Ahmadinejad and Chavez have just endorsed B. Hussein Obama for president!!! Oops, nevermind, that won’t happen until after the primary is over. My apologies to all the hate-america first crowd, your beloved over-seas leaders will give Barak their endorsements in due course.

What a truly sad and pathetic statement. So I guess her husband is the only one that can “fix” our country? Neutering it, no doubt.

I have been proud of America long before Obama even ran for US Senate.

Hey, as a Frenchman who’s lived in the US for a few years I have to say that I find those comments despicable.
The US is the greatest country on earth. It’s a lot better than my country, especially as far as pursuing your own dreams goes.
I wasn’t born here, yet I love my adoptive country a lot more than the Obamas. I am a naturalized citizen and let me tell you something, I WILL ALWAYS pledge allegiance to the flag and the constitution of this country and I WILL NEVER be ashamed of it.
This country’s given me everything and I won’t be ungrateful.
It’s also given everything to the Obamas; yet they despise it. Where else could they have gotten where they are now?
He always wants to play the “poor black man ” card. Give me a break! The guy was raised in Hawaii (it’s not the ghetto) in a wealthy family: went to private school, prep school… the whole nine yards.
I lived the socialist nightmare in France; I don’t want to go through that again here.
Well, actually it seems that most European countries are moving right, because they’ve finally understood that socialist ideas don’t work. And now the US is willing to take that chance? SCARY!

Well Obama just lost the election…and the glorious history that goes along with it. As the First Couple they are the cheerleaders for the USA…they made it to the top of the hill and if they think their pride began with history that began with them; then they are out of here…so long Obama etal.

Which decade do they not get? The War of Independence, 1812, opening of the West, WWI WWII,Korea, Berlin Wall, 9/11, been to Arlington lately? Get it? I can go on but we all get the idea…

You had your shot and you blew it. So long….

Whoa, I am just stunned. While there has been problems in our country, as in all countries, to finally be proud of the U.S. when your husband is doing well in the primaries is extremely disconcerting. It feels selfish and petty. Not a day goes by when I don’t see something that makes me proud of my country or my community. I like Obama’s personality and am undecided on whom to vote for. But I will say his wife is a fool if she has found nothing to be proud here other than her husband’s success. I too am a minority. My family came here three generations ago and I still thank God I am here.

ARE YOU PEOPLE IDIOTS?!?

Did you watch the ENTIRE video, what she’s saying?

Is anyone CONTENT with the last 15 years of politics in this country?

Huh?

ANYBODY?

Are you SERIOUSLY going to take ONE sentence COMPLETELY out of context and apply a SEPARATE MEANING TO IT?

REALLY?

Are you all SERIOUSLY that stupid?

I WEEP for mankind.

So she has been ashamed of her country her whole adult life…..please move to another and take Hussein with you.

You’re calling her racist and then calling Barack “Osama” and “Hussein?” I think we know who the real racists are. Go crawl back under your conservative internet communities.

OMG, FROM THE POLITICO FORUM, IT’S RATIONAL THOUGHT!!!!!!!

“She said “i am REALLY proud of my country”. Kinda makes a difference don’t you think? Doesn’t mean she’s never been ‘proud’.”

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG, SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN THINK!

This is the mindset that comes from sociology departments the nation wide.

Um, she is not the one running for the white house – so who cares what she says?

Don’t judge the nominees by the (sometimes stupid) things their wives say….

THis woman can not be first lady. We thought the Clintons would embarrass us all again in the White House? She is doing it even before she gets there. Put a mussel on her, she is not bright. She is as hungry for power as Hillary and I bet she wears the pants in the family.

I knew this Obama thing couldn’t last. They just had to open their mouth and tell us how they really feel. Good job, Michelle.

Really? For the first time in your adult life you are proud of being an American? That is really sad that you think so little of our country. Where would you have preferred to live all your life and why didn’t you move there until you felt better about the United States. Welcome back! Oh, that’s right, you never left for a BETTER place. God Bless you and your husband for getting involved in politics, but that is a telling tale of your ideals.

Well Obama, I for one am sure relieved! Now that your old lady is finally proud to be an American…at least while things seem to be falling her way…perhaps you can ante up and start placing your hand over your heart when the National Anthem is played…nah, never mind. Your heart is whith Che Guevara. Hey America, we better elect Obama or tarty Michelle won’t be happy…and when mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VRCeBSOOEM&NR=1

Keep in mind, all the people bashing Mrs. Obama are Republican cowards who came to this link via Drudge. They are the same people too cowardly to fight a war or make their little brats fight it. They hide behind my son and other soldiers while pretending to be patriots. Meanwhile they bash Mrs. Obama for stating the obvious. This country is rapidly falling into a fascist nightmare and Republicans can’t give away their rights fast enough. To hear Republicans talk is like hearing the German public defend Hitler. Sad little, brainwashed sheep.

She represents liberals very well. I’ll give here credit for that. All liberals hate this country unless they had control of it.

And this seems to be the problem with the Obamas, that they don’t love America — and if they don’t love America, how they they feel loyal to it? My vote will be for the candidate who is obviously devoted to America’s welfare, and to America.

I agree with Michelle. I am certainly not proud of the direction this country has gone in over the past 7 years of the Bush Administration. I’m ready for some change. Obama ‘08!

Finding Barrack inspiring and not liking McCain, I saw myself throwing away my useless popular vote for Barrack (I live in New york.) I read this and just said to myself; no way, not a chance, never! My wife and I are of similar mind, she was a democrat before we met and logically became a conservative over time. Having this woman as the ‘better half’ in the white house is not an option. They cannot be too far apart in their thinking I have gone from a ‘republican for Obama’ to a John McCain die hard in a New York minute.

I like Michelle. At least she’s honest – unlike Hillary, whose every word is measured and polled.

As a white American (and Republican), I am also proud to see that there is at least one candidate who offers to mend the divide in this country, and I am really proud that Americans are responding. I think this is what Michelle is saying.

Michelle disgusts me! Let’s get HER and Obamasamadingdong a oneway ticket to Kenya.

Remember the losers who couldn’t even figure out a way to get out of New Orleans during Katrina? That is what Obamasamadingdong AND Hillary want to turn this country into. I have to acknowledge that looking at those losers didn’t make me too proud of being an American, either.

Hey, maybe that was what Michelle was actually talking about!

Michelle, just keep talking and I will keep on giving you enough rope . . .

FYI comes from the Bill Clinton school of spin. You can’t “think” your way out of reality.

Just a reminder, that “really” can mean “to a high degree” and not just “is so, and wasn’t before.” So she can credibly (unless refuted by context) say she meant: proud to a significant degree rather than, proud now but not previously.

Hey, I like your prohibition against foul language. I wish the blog “Pharyngula” had a filter like that going, some of their commenters are sewer-mouthed!

She just handed the nomination to Hillary! Watch the Clinton machine pounce on this and embarass Obama…….

What a DumbA$$

William W. Wexler comment is just typical. It reveals the true advantage Obama has in this campaign. You can’t criticize him because you’ll be called a racist. No one is going to call him out on anything. You’ll never hear about the trash in his closet.

Dear Jesus in heaven!! Of course this is the first time she is proud of “her” country–she has pledged her love and loyalty to Africa–per her mission statement of her Trinity “church”! My God, her husband is no savior–why is she suddenly proud of this country. I’m wondering what all the 9/11 widows are saying to her statement and will they cry tonight because of this insensitive user’s big fat mouth!!! She makes me fighting mad because she is an idiot and has no loyalty to this wonderful United States!!!!!!!!! I was in a great mood–now I have a huge headache–someone please take the mike from this imbecile!!!!!!!!

At last I am proud, because the country is prepared to elevate . . . ME!!

No hope in her Princeton and Harvard education, her two little girls, her lovely home.

It must suck to be Michelle.

Oh, for the first time you are only now “really” proud of your country…….same problem..seeya Obama.

You are not forgiven….by the way: game over.

Goodness, what a lot of blind negative comments. Yes, the USA is wonderful for those who are able to make it in this society. But, there are an enormous number of problems that those who only watch TV and live their own lives do not see because they do not go out to help others. The Obamas have spent their lives working very hard in both educating themselves and others, and in helping those who have not had the good fortune to find decent jobs. Since Vietnam, the US has done more harm to innocent people throughout the world than any other country. And, if it was not done through war, it was done through trade policies. The raping of the world’s resources by huge corporations like the oil companies, that have done enormous damage to the ecosystems of other countries. The Australians got in right with their apology to their indigenous people. The US has a long long way to go in making reparations to those it has hurt.

I find it disturbing that Mrs. Obama would say that until now she has not been proud of her country. I sense a real lack of loyalty to her native land!

Think Mr. Obama can talk his way out of this one? Michelle is just now, finally proud of her country. Typical liberal.

I just became a McCain supporter!

Who f’g cares what this overpaid broad thinks?! (on the latter, guess why medical care is so high? she was making over 200 grand as an “executive” at a Chicago hospital. if she’s making that much as one of the uppers, think how many are making just as much and more. for what? it’s a hospital, not a wall st. firm!)

Gee, people want change — two wars going badly, an economy in the dumps…get real b—ch.

I think Michele Obama was sincere in here statement. Although this is the greatest country in the world, we are not without imperfections. Past attrocities to minorities make it difficult for one to be absoulutely proud to be an American, especially if you grew up during the struggle for civil rights. I think she was trying to say that she is happy that, for the first time in her adult life, she is seeing the words of Martin Luther King in action. Americans are seemingly not judging Barack Obama by the “color of his skin, but by the content of his character.” Yes, we do live in the world’s greatest country. But let’s also be aware of the fact that our country is still growing and evolving into a country that is learning from its past mistakes. God Bless America!!

When the superdelegates hand the nomination to Hillary Clinton, brace yourselves. Blacks everywhere will riot and protest much like the LA riots of the early 1990s. No white person anywhere will be safe. This election will throw race relations back to the 1930’s.

Gee, there sure is a lot of COINTELPRO in this thread!!!

Until now, I have not been proud of the Obama Campaign.

February 18. The day Osama Obama went down in flames.

First, reports of his stealing speeches. Second, and far more damaging, his wife, the wannabe First Lady, claims she is really proud of America for the first time in her life.

I always said a Black Marxist Muslim would have no shot at the Presidency. Looks like I’m right again!

How surprising. A back-handed comment from a self-imortant, self-righteous liberal elitist. This individual’s ungrateful, small-minded, unpatriotic, and anger-inspired attitude is part of the reason why so many of us in the younger African American community either refuse to vote or have left the tired Democrat Party.

In my country, we would bury her up to her neck and throw stones at her for this offense.

Mrs. Hussein Obama and “Wild Bill” need to be tied up…together. They both are making outlandish comments that are hurting their mates chances for the presidency. This statement by Ms Obama is immature and racist. I think she is revealing her true nature. I voted Democrat in the primary but the it looks now, it’s McCain in November.

Adam,

Spin baby, spin. The hand is in the cookie jar…and momma just came home with the ball bat.

I love the whiny, hyperbolating “victims” on this blog crying about how Michelle is right because they aren’t getting enough teet from big-momma government. Get a life you spoiled pathetic children.

You think this is tough Adam, think what crap you’ve thrown at Bush, you’ll get it back in Spades…..get it….Spades…..oh I crack myself up sometimes

Tabatha – You’re typical of the hate-america first crowd. “Since Vietnam, the US has done more harm to innocent people throughout the world than any other country. And, if it was not done through war, it was done through trade policies. The raping of the world’s resources by huge corporations like the oil companies, that have done enormous damage to the ecosystems of other countries.”

The standard of living across the world has risen and risen, because of these ‘evil’ corporations and ‘evil’ oil companies. I’m sure you’d be a huge supporter of cutting off all oil development, to hell with the billions of people that rely on it for heat and energy. You enviromental extremist are the reason we can’t drill our own oil, build new refinerys or build more nuclear power plants. Congratulations for making us trade with tyrants.

Boy Adam, got issues? It’s definately 6:30, gotta watch Wapner. Gotta watch Wapner. Gotta watch Wapner. Wah!

Poor Adam. Somebody needs to tell him it’s over for Obama Bin Laden.

OOPS! For the first time in my adult life I started to have some hope for the democratic party.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama… Just in case you hypocrats did not get that….HUSSEIN! You are going to do your best to elect a MUSLIM!!!

HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM

So Michele go live in Iran and try to run for first lady!

HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM
HUSSEIN = MUSLIM

Way to Go Hypocrats, just keep it up!!!!

Somewhere, I picture Michelle Obama ulalating on 9/11, hands flailing with joy.

Adam,

It is OVER for Obama Bin Laden,,,,,oohh, Obama.

Sorry

Hey Hillary Campaign: Nice job in overwhelming this and other web sites with negative comments about Obama. Given your state of desperation, this is all understandable. Unfortunately, after Hillary gets trounced in the upcoming primaries, you will have created so much bad blood that you will be out of jobs. The American people love Obama, and they are hating Hillary more and more. Too bad.

These liberals are getting a taste of their own medicine these days.

Um wow. I thought what she said was nice. And then i read these comments from very hateful and several racist people and begin to wonder why anyone would be so proud of their fellow americans. I thought her words were quite nice. Some very shameful people with racists comments here. No wonder we get the reputation as idiots elsewhere in the world. And Im a Republican.

How clintonian of some of these liberal bloggers!…..”no, she said in her ADULT life….and she’s REALLY proud…”. LOL, WE ALL KNOW WHAT SHE MEANT! And she knew what she meant! She and her husband feel the way ALL liberals do! They feel that America is the evil empire! They feel that we’re a bunch of capitalist scum! They’re “embarrassed” by U.S. foreign policy because we’re NOT cowards! They hate the U.S.! And it will be a disgrace if Barack “OSAMA”"HUSSEIN” becomes the next president! And NO! That’s not a play on words! Only a Demoncrat would vote a ex-muslim who is named after a terrorist and a mass murderer for president! http://www.buycommonsense.com

You think this is bad, wait till the Republicans sink their teeth into him. For now, we just sit back and watch you hypocrats scortch the earth. I mean let’s face it, we Republicans are nothing but racist, biggot homophobes right?

What selfish self serving comment. Was she not proud when Reagan defeated the USSR? Was she not proud when the Berlin Wall came down? Was she not proud when Bush 41 sent US troops to feed the starving in Somalia? Was she not proud when Clinton reinstated the duly elected President of Haiti? Was she not proud when Colin Powell became the 1st Black Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs and later Secretary of State?

I am starting to get fed up with the Obama crowd,

Her speech in Ohio was equally stupid and without her husband’s rhetoric she has nothing intelligent to say and in Ohio she couldn’t even pull that off!!! And on top of that when she was asked (by Couric) about trying to fill Hillary’s shoes as first lady and all of the historical accomplishments clinton has been a part of, she refused to acknowledge widely accepted historical accomplishments of Hillary Clinton pre-first lady, during and post-first lady. Someone please take the mike!!!!

Marmaduke:

Judging from all the comments I’ve seen on this site?

The answer to your question would be a resounding

YES.

To all who are NOT African-American and do not like what Mrs. Obama said, you need to understand her perspective. Pride is subjective. Most of you sheeple who post here seem not to be able to put things in the proper context. Don’t talk until you have walked that mile in her shoes. She is talking about the new attitude to be found across the country where young (and some not so young) folks of all ethnic backgrounds are finally coming together around a few basic issues. That is truly something to be REALLY PROUD about. Get a grip you yuppie dittoheads, the world does not revolve around your asinine opinion of how things should be! Re-read the post by FYI.

She won’t be proud of her husband doing coke with a gay guy.

http://www.mrsircy.blogspot.com

it’s an idiotic thing to say, but…. I hope Mrs. O realizes that what she is saying is EXACTLY the opposite of what Hillary Clinton stands for. In the event Obama is NOT nominated (and I hope he is), will she assist her countrymen to defeat the menace of Clinton.

I didn’t so Wisconsin was so damned racist? I thought you guys were in the north? What’s with the good ol’ boy attitudes?

“I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction”Michelle O.

Well,the changes she,her husband,and thousands of other Socialists/Communists are longing for will be the death of the USA as we know it,if they succeed in their pursuit of Government by the Government,for the Government.

Only idiots would vote for modern day DemocRats.I guess this country is full of them in 2008.

Hey, rick johnson:

THOROUGHLY DEBUNKED. HURTS, DOESN’T IT?

http://dearmurray.com/

You guys are really over re-acting. A poor choice of words, but you don’t honestly think that she hates her country. She didn’t say that, it is just absurd to think that, and the Africa comments are ignorant.

I love my country, but you would be foolish to think that we are perfect or don’t have an enormous amount of opportunities for improvement.

Her point was to say that she is excited with amount of people who are interested in participating in the political process. That is exciting. In terms of the political process, it also makes the most proud I have been in my short 30 years of life.

The “we are the greatest country on earth” statements are an easy response from those would rather rest on our laurels and/or sit at home on election day and every other opportunity they have to be involved in their community. Those stating it will probably be voting republican anyway.

Austinite:

EXACTLY.

Maybe it’s because all her adult life she’s been fed and indoctrinated in nothing but anti-American, anti-government, victimhood nonsense that so many liberals spew and followers blindly believe. For all of you defending her comment as “only a black person” can understand her position, what a crock, my wife is a black Columbian immigrant; she went to school, received her degree and is living the AMERICAN dream. I am also the son of immigrants who’ve lived the AMERICAN dream, home, liberty, opportunity, justice, etc..

Adam, FYI, David, et. al.

Oh yeah? Just watch the Obama campaign backtrack ALL OVER this statement in the coming hours and days. You defend it? Well she’s gonna have nothing but weaselly, soft-shoe, “I never meant to suggest” blah blah. Then what will you think?

When I look out my front window and see the American Flag flap in the wind on the pole in my front yard, I am a “really” proud American. When I hear the National Anthem, I am a “really” proud American. It doesn’t take some foolish sheep followers to make me proud of my country. Shame on you lady. Your not fit to be an American then!

Adam – Read the constitution. Katrina wasn’t the US government’s problem. That should have been the state’s problem. The government’s job is well defined.

Ms Obama is an insufferable bore. She is an embarrassment. All attitude and damn few brains.

The first time she is proud of America???

She has never felt proud of this country before even though we…..
lead the world in acheivement with medicine, democracy, technology, social well being, advancement in disease control, have been giving HOPELESS Africa and many others millions of dollars year after year in aid which does no good because they are incapable of progress, scared these awful Muslim fanatics after 9/11 (NO attacks here in years! Thanks George! They fear you!), etc., etc., etc.

Wow!
I can’t wait NOT to vote for Barack Osama Obama or whatever. I bet they are frinds with Tofuku Iberi (or whatever) from History Detectives. His real name is Carl Watson. What a load of crap!!!!!!!

Austinite, if her point was all that blah-blah that you conveniently rewrote for her, then why didn’t she say THAT? She’s a Harvard lawyer — is she so damned inarticulate that she can’t say what she means, but needs an interpreter?

Those of us who believe this country is the greatest on earth aren’t “resting on our laurels.” I for one have relatives risking their lives overseas at this moment! I’d be there myself if I weren’t disqualified on the basis of being skinny and 40.

What an ingrate. This is the face of Leftist internalized self-hate.

It’s humorous that you bring up Osama Bin Laden, the man that Bush could not capture or kill when he had the chance. What’s that about?

And what if we reject her husband’s brand of “change” come November if he’s in the general against McCain (the white man)? Will she revert to beng UNPROUD of America?

Oh *barf*! Are these people for real? I have a suggestion if you think that America is so bad why not go somewhere else? Most of us are very proud of our country and all of it’s accomplishments, if you are just not feeling proud you’ve either not been participating or not paying attention! Grow up! The only thing they want to change is how much control the federal government wants to have of your pay check!

i’m voting for obama cause like he brings hope….and cause like without hope we don’t have hope and we need the hope cause hope is like so inspirational!… barak so inspires me and fills me with hope that i feel like i’m going to faint…so please everyone vote obama for pres cause he’ll like fill us with hope! and then we can be truly proud of our nation just like michelle!

I’m just stunned…Ms. Obama needs to look around the world and see how blessed we all are in this country. She clearly hasn’t a clue….God help us all if this women becomes First Lady…she’ll be apologizing all over the planet…giving our enemies all they need to work against us and the interests of peace and freedom.

Never mind, on second thought, let the stupid cow keep the mike–she only helps ensure that this country doesn’t elect her self serving, conceited spouse who fancy’s himself as JFK and Jesus Christ all rolled into one!

Hope,

You DO realize that you’ll be supplanted by your evil stepsister, Despair, if Obama doesn’t get elected?

By the way, where were you all these years? There poor Michelle was, getting a fabulous education, having babies, buying pearls, and you never ONCE turned a bright eye on her?

She’s outspoken and she isn’t going to be the type to take a poll or hold a focus group before she speaks…unlike a lot of other people in the race.

Sounds like a class act to me.

Right from her own mouth. She has lived in this country all her life and never been proud of it until now. This is the greatest country that has ever existed in the history of the earth and she’s just getting around to it. This friends, might be your next First Lady.

She said what she said, she opened her big mouth and stuck her foot right in it.

You apologists make me laugh, trying to redefine this very explicit statement, trying to redefine the meaning by weaving some shroud of circular logic involving supposed context and mystical connotations.

She said what she said. The meaning is quite clear, as is the context and the connotation:

She has never been really proud of her country before, but now she is, because she and husband Barack have a shot at the seat of power.

Reminds me of a spoiled brat that acts all nicey-nice when mommy or daddy finally gives in and buys her something she doesn’t deserve.

Uh Oh. It’s shocking that she’s never felt proud of America before now. But we should thank her for showing her true colors before the election. I was planning on voting for her husband. Not anymore. McCain is now suddenly looking very appealing.

Adam,

Nobody brought up Osama Bin Laden…….READ Carefully

Obama Bin Laden

Bobby Joe Fiesta February 19th, 2008 – 2:39 am

“Adam – Read the constitution. Katrina wasn’t the US government’s problem. That should have been the state’s problem. The government’s job is well defined.”

I was responding to someone’s comment which stated they were proud of our country after Katrina. When a Federal Disaster is declared, it is the Federal Government’s job to respond…aka. FEMA. FEMA’s response was miserable. Don’t you remember?

I am too lazy to go back but someone said that anyone who criticizes this comment has not lived as a black person for their entire lives. I haven’t lived as a black person…ever, but I am pretty sure that my black neighbors cried with me when the towers went down. They were proud of our firefighters, soldiers, and (at that moment) our president.
You cannot call black people ignorant, but you can call Michelle Obama ignorant. It is ignorant to say that black people have nothing to be proud of in this country until now.
I am proud of my countries black soldiers, black firefighters, and black policemen.
The funniest part is that blacks were telling us early on that The Obamas don’t understand black people. They called them Oreos and now they talk about how barack and Michelle truly understand black people.

Woman! you better take this quote back and start saying how proud you are of this country or your husband will not be elected president.

What a shame and disgraceful remark. I have been proud of my country all my adult life. And I know many many individuals who have hope in America and have had. This change (?) what is planned other than words? The Democrat party has been in control most of my adult life and they are responsible for the mess we find ourselves in.

Now we know what “Change” is…More entitlements for people who refuse to work, more contempt for America, more hate for whites, more something for nothing for all minorities, more, well, you get my message.

congrats on the uber-patriot comments all over this board. the sound of people patting themselves on their patriotic backs or thumping their chests chanting “U.S.A.” is deafening.

Many people posting here are crazy. Is everybody supposed to be proud of there country? Growing up black in America and you are supposed to be waving an American flag? She is right, and Im not even proud of this country.

Teresa Heinz-Kerry II.

You people are nuts. You think everyone in public life has to be a jingoist automaton?

Mark my words.
If America is foolish enough to elect either of these radical Left Democratic candidates it will not only mean the beginning of the end of America as an exceptional nation in this world but it will be the signal flare for evil around the world to start marching. It will be the start of a new Dark Age for all of mankind and from which we may never fully recover.

Our fate and the fate of your offspring and future generations are balanced on the knife’s edge and you will be a direct party to the consequences.

Not my president.

As a WHITE woman, I feel the same exact way. The fact that either a woman or black man will be the next President gives me an overwhelming feeling of pride for the United States. It’s not that I don’t feel a sense of it already, it’s that with what is going on I don’t cringe when people abroad refer to me as American. This change in the oval office will be one giant PR move that we could not buy in any other way. We had the entire world’s prayers and sympathies due to 9/11; years later we have more people hating us and an economy nobody wants anything to do with.

Some of you are so disgustingly ignorant that I feel sorry for those around you gullible enough to eat your words up.

“William W. Wexler comment is just typical. It reveals the true advantage Obama has in this campaign. You can’t criticize him because you’ll be called a racist. No one is going to call him out on anything. You’ll never hear about the trash in his closet.”

Apparently you didn’t read the same comments I did.

And by the way, calling Michelle Obama out for this comment is trash, isn’t it? White trash?

Another comment for the uber-patriot crowd… the bus to Nazi Germany is filling up fast… better get on before you lose your seat… sieg heil, you “best country in the world” people, so dumbed down you believe your own propaganda. All we make here any more is bombs and burgers, while the people you worship who created this fiasco of a near-third-world country in their own image are laughing all the way to the bank.

But you don’t care, as long as you can wave your American flag and think you’re better than somebody ’cause you “live in the best country in the world”.

LOL

-Wexler

btw, you’re supposed to put your hand over your heart for the pledge of allegiance. Not the national anthem.

I’m not very proud of my country right now for nominating elitist, ungrateful, snob socialists candidates for president – Obama won’t put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem and he turns away from the flag – and this creep is probably going to be the President.

TAS, James, anthony . . .

You think what she said was cool? What will you think when she backs off it 180 degrees? Because she’s going to.

This is the beginning of the end for Obama. This will sink him.

James, I’m sure there’s a place for you somewhere else–go there!

I am stunned by all the hate on this site. I’b be proud too, if we got past the color or gender barriers for President after the one we just had. I’b be proud to show the world we made a heck of a mistake for but that we can right our course. There is enough that is twisted in politics. You people need a deep breath of fresh air and some brain housing rewiring.

I just want to know, why is she not wearing her burka?

If she is so much for unifying the country, then why does she go to a very controversial and divisive black church? If Barack doesn’t win, will she then be terribly disappointed in her country?

She reminds me of another “African-American”, first lady want-a-be, Teresa Heinz Kerry.

If black people can’t be proud of the USA then why would one want to lead it? Can you lead something you’re not proud of?

Oh you all understand perfectly well what she meant to say–that this is the most proud she has been and the first time she felt like this country has transcended race (which is probably true).

You are all jumping up and down and shouting “Gotcha! Gotcha!” But the whole point of the Obama candidacy is to move beyond gotcha politics. He is going to cream McCain in the fall.

Never been proud of her country in over of 40 years of everything this country has given her??Maybe she would be proud if her husband moved her to his father’s homeland.
On President’s Day, she just illustrated why she is not worthy of being First Lady.

These statements by Mickey B are about as fatuous as those made by her husband every day. This is THE greatest country in history. Period. Not being proud of it before now just prove how hard to the left she and hubbie are.

The cult-like following the campaign is encouraging worries me. Whatever happened to the Left’s disdain for religion? Is there no purported separation of Church and State when it comes to Socialist candidates who promise the moon with other people’s money? Yuck. No thanks.

The fact he is a black candidate is not the issue to me. He is a Socialist, and wholly inexperienced to run a country. That is why I would never vote for him.

I guess she isn’t “really” proud to have children in this free country that has always been the road toward equality and fair rights for all citizens via the establishment of our Constitution?

No more secret legislation kept out of the general public’s eye, like the amnesty bill that neither Obama nor Clinton nor McCain nor Huckabee nor Bloomberg stood up to demand that the civil rights of American citizens never again be violated via any secret legislative process!

It doesn’t matter what the issue. What matters is that we should no longer underutilize the most powerful resource available to the legislative process; the concerned American citizen. And computers now provides the capacity to fill this critical lacking component (the concerned legal citizen) in a world that moves so fast that merely relying upon the election cycle to stamp out corrupt govt is practically obsolete and ineffective.

But we need the govt to provide the leadership to the general public and to direct them to the internet place of meeting so the public does not act upon their own and scattered across the virtual landscape.

No person would be left out of the discussion; not gender, not skin color, not income level, not education level, nothing but the the lack of will to become involved would keep a person from joining a discussion and making observations about any specified topic as it approaches legislative fruition.

she is an angry person… she might be the anchor that sinks his good ship lollipop. were it not for our awesome and persistant vigilance and military, she would not be afforded the platform with which to speak…. so, basically, the wife of a potential presidential candidate is ashamed of our country???? give me a break.i could say more…. hopefully, she won’t.

It doesn’t matter what an Obama says.
Didn’t you folks get the memo?

Newsflash I don’t know what you are talking about. LIttle league teams all over the country put their hand over their heart during the National Anthem and so do patriotic moms and dads. You must live in a buble somewhere…my young men always put their hands over their heart for the pledge or anthem and so do their friends and their parents, as well as, union members and politicians…all except Barack Hussein. Wake up!

If you simply underline the word “really” proud in her remark it makes all the sense in the world. Who could be proud of the way we’ve behaved in the world for a long time now? Let’s move on there’s so much more important things to talk about.

Will we ever hear anything of substance from the Obamas? Change, hope, change, hope, change, hope….

When did we ever need the federal government to give us hope? Hope in what? What changes are being promised by Senator Obama? To retreat from the Middle East? To raise our taxes? To back down in the face of adversity?

Frankly, the swooning I am seeing from many of my fellow Americans over this man alarms me. Inasmuch as I don’t like Hillary, I think she would clean his clock in an all about debate.

Many brave Americans, loyal, proud and dedicated have given their lives for their country. They paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we could remain the greatest nation on earth; so that Michelle Obama could have the opportunity to be where and who she is today and have what she has. A she is only now proud of her country?? Shame on her. It embarasses me that she is an American.

You’ve got to be kidding me… someone already clipped the word “really” out of the audio…

LOLOLOLOL!!!!

You’re really a bunch, I’ll say that.

Enjoy choking to death on your own bile.

Can anyone name one thing of substance that Obama has accomplished for the country?

Anything of significance?

Anything that says he can really PRODUCE “change”?

Do we have a clue about the world? I’d hate to try to please this person at dinnertime. Thank Bush for the continued opportunity to spout off about all the ills and failures we’ve had to suffer with.

One more leftist democrat coming out of the Closet!!!Let’s get her a 1 way ticket to Kenya and see if she can be proud there???

Oh *barf*! Are these people for real? I have a suggestion if you think that America is so bad why not go somewhere else? Most of us are very proud of our country and all of it’s accomplishments, if you are just not feeling proud you’ve either not been participating or not paying attention! Grow up! The only thing they want to change is how much control the federal government wants to have of your pay check!

Oh PLEEZE stop the I’m a republican for Obama. It is so empty and mindless, only good for laughs.

btw, Newsflash, you put your hand over your heart for both the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem.

Pathetic. White guilt will get you just what you’re asking for. These people have no respect for this country. Do not salute the flag, admit that you hate America. Who are these fools that are voting for this disgrace?!

Michelle Obama has two Ivy League degrees. Not one, but two. In a recent interview in the NYTimes she said that her high school counselor discouraged her from applying to Princeton because she didn’t have the grades or scores to get in. But she got in – thanks go affirmative action. She then got into Harvard law – not because she was as smart or smarter than any other application but simply because she is African-American. She recently went on hiatus from a job that pays $300,000. And yet she has never been proud of the country that gave her these opportunities? Opportunities that one might question should not have been afforded her based on her intellect.

Michelle is a mean-spirited woman who recently told a reporter not to “touch her aides.” Her comments are so rude and so galling in their arrogance. If she were in Africa, she would be living in a hut and possibly the victim of female gen— mutilation. And she wouldn’t be educated and she wouldn’t be living in a million dollar mansion and sending her children to private school.

And to the blogger who said that this country has stepped on the backs of asian-americans and latinos – are you nuts? Most of those groups recently came here and the Asians have the highest income of all races, including whites. So please, don’t make foolish statements that are inherently untrue.

I love reading all the people in here defend Michelle and explain what she meant. She’s Havard educated, her words speak for themselves. These are the same people that have this idea that the world since Bush hates America. When we start putting policy in place to appease these supposed countries who have no respect for us anymore, its the beginning of the end. Who are these countries that have lost respect anyway? Europe has moved more and more to the right over the past 15 years. Our allies have never been stronger or closer. Just look at the French, they elected a pro-american as president. This is non-sense put out by liberal media, the world doesn’t hate a strong america, it needs a strong america.

For the first time in my life I too am really proud of my country … I can see through the political games …

This woman doesn’t have a clue as to why she should be proud of America and apparently a lot of posters to this board are equally as clueless. She just proclaimed the efforts of millions of Americans; to bring “justice to the oppressed and downtrodden” not only to this country but to countries throughout the world, as worthless. She just proclaimed the deaths of more than a few whites, fighting for the equality of blacks, as not worthy of her notice. Is she, and a lot of you, so thankless that you allow the actions of some to taint the goodness of the rest? Are you really so far down the road of self pity that you actually believe that America has done nothing worthy for you to be proud of? This woman has been handed the world on a platter and its not good enough! The questions becomes, is it just this woman or is it a black thing? Does Mr. Obama believe that he too deserves more before he has something to be proud of? Yes, I am mad, why I am supposed to take on the burden of misdeeds that occurred long before my family even heard of this country. Well guess what, I am not willing to accept blame for something that happened a hundred years ago to Blacks and Indians. I am not willing to accept blame for something that a few greedy men are doing in foreign lands. I am not willing to accept blame for something that a few frightened men are doing in our own land. Nor should you be willing to use these examples to point an accusing finger at the rest of us. Maybe you have some pathological need to take on the blame for others misdeeds but I am not willing to accept blame for ANYTHING someone else does in my country’s name. I am an American, I live a simple meaningful life. I see other Americans, living the same as I do, who do things that I am proud of every day. Is she, and you, so used to having the great things offered by this country that you find nothing is good enough to be proud of? The idiocy of choosing a “rock star” with a promise over a professional with experience is breathtaking in its folly yet there are many on this board willing to accuse anyone, who thinks it is idiocy, as racist. If that’s your criteria then I am a racist, a HUMAN RACIST. I believe the America will survive the shortsightedness of people who use the color of ones skin as the primary criteria for choosing a leader. And, I will continue to be proud to be an American.

“It’s humorous that you bring up Osama Bin Laden, the man that Bush could not capture or kill when he had the chance. What’s that about”

Hey Adam, Slick Willie had 3 opportunities to kill Osama while he was prez. He didn’t want “collateral damage”, according to the CIA ops who had Osama in their sights. Clinton said NO, all 3 times. So don’t try to pin that debacle on Bush. Clinton should have done his job, so don’t even dare to blame Bush for your sex addict’s mistakes.

I guess you lefties have been properly indoctrinated. Go ahead, vote the Marxist, anti-American swine into office. Watch him pull troops out of Iraq, then Afghanny. Next, he’ll withdrawl CIA ops from Pakistan, Turkey, etc. B Hussein will set up the perfect storm, we will be defenseless- and the good Muslim will take us down, the perfect mole.

When the nukes drop over the USA, I hope Michelle and the other hateful hypocrites enjoy it. This is the ultimate goal, correct? Michelle, you should have kept quiet. Believe me, there are plenty of antis who are/were DROOLING to vote your hubby in. Lots of self-loathing, guilt-ridden white liberals LOVE you guys!

God help us all. Michelle, KEEP TALKING! Code Stink, MoveOn, Che followers, Chavez followers, tell your racist buddy Michelle to cool it, people are starting to wake up and get a clue!

I can see it now… the Obama campaign claiming that this statement by Michelle and how much of a GAFFE it was depends on what YOUR meaning of the world “really” is. Sound familiar?

Democrats can’t win. LOL.

I agree with Michelle Obama and here is why, first our response to 9/11 whereas millions of white people stood silent as George W. Bush attacked a country (Iraq) that had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ATTACK and even drank the Bush extra sweetened Kool Aid about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. Only now 8 years and many deaths of our soliders in the military does white people want change. And although this has many good things about it there is still the history that is problematic at best. This country has MILLIONS flocking here but for what? M O N E Y!
The days of coming to america to become an AMERICAN are long gone. Why do you think all these Mexicans and Asians are coming here? Is it because of the freedom in the USA? If you believe that then you must be a recent graduate of B.S. university. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE ALMIGHTY (or used to be almighty) dollar… :)

I cringe with the thought that she will be the first lady. Too self-absorbed for her own good.

Obama has lost my vote!!!!!!!!!

she’d have been proud sooner but was too busy cooking crack and finding gay derelicts for Barack Hussein Obama.

Do any of you realize how many black people really would like to leave the united states? Millions, but to make a move like that takes a lot of money that many black people simply don’t have. I say we (white europeans) make a fund from donations by all those interested in making the wishes of african americans and their european supporters come true.
Then they can move to another country even canada as many blacks asians homosexual whites and latinos now apparently live in peace.
Simply put, if black americans no longer wish to live here then let’s help them leave!
It is cheaper & safer for us and our children if the blacks that truly hate the USA and it’s past get out of the country with our help..

PROBLEM-SOLVED.

Big Hitter,

To all who are NOT African-American and do not like what Mrs. Obama said, you need to understand her perspective. Pride is subjective. Most of you sheeple who post here seem not to be able to put things in the proper context. Don’t talk until you have walked that mile in her shoes. She is talking about the new attitude to be found across the country where young (and some not so young) folks of all ethnic backgrounds are finally coming together around a few basic issues. That is truly something to be REALLY PROUD about. Get a grip you yuppie dittoheads, the world does not revolve around your asinine opinion of how things should be! Re-read the post by FYI.

Keep weaseling buddy! The basic issues all you libs come together on? (1) Blame America First!; (2) The U.N. will save us!; (3) America is Evil and Imperialistic!; (4) Capitalism sucks and Socialism is in!; (5) Che; (6) George Bush is Hitler!; (7) Code Pink

You clowns are even more pathetic dancing than when you’re fainting at the Obama rallies…

THANK YOU MICHELLE FOR GIVING ENOUGH AMMUNITION TO KARL ROVE’S REPUBLICAN ATTACK MACHINE..SO I CAN SEE THE FIRST ATTACK AD IN THE FALL IF YOU GET THE NOMINATION….OBAMA DOES NOT SALUTE THE FLAG. MICHELLE HAS NEVER BEEN PROUD OF AMERICA. DO YOU THINK THAT WILL GO WELL WITH AMERICAN’S…GEEZ….HE TOLD PEOPLE OF OHIO THAT HE SUPPORTS THE SECOND AMENDMENT..BUT WROTE TO BAN THE LAW IN ILLINOIS…FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP….JUST LIKE KERRY.. I AM SO GLAD AS A REPUBLICAN WE WILL DESTROY OSAMA OOOPS I MEAN OBAMA HUSSAIN..JUST THE NAME ALONE SHOULD SEND TERROR INTO THE SOUTH…

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION..BE PROUD OF THAT MICHELLE YOU BIZNATCH!!!! GO TO H-E-L-L OR BETTER YET TO AFRICA WHERE YOU BELONG YOU UNGRATEFUL HUSSY

I REALLY REALLY hope that some of you are now catching on to what the Obama’s are all about..
From Baracks very very racist church, all the way down to Michelle Obama’s great and extreme bitterness*, to put it nicely…

BEWARE

Look at all these pathetic, mindless, knuckle-dragging fools condemning Mrs. Obama while displying their own empty, false pride for this counrty.

It’s perfectly ok to feel some sense of shame. There’s plenty to be ashamed of in these last 7 years, let alone the past 50 years of our foreign policy. Being oblivious to that or trying to whitewash it with the good deeds we have done does not make you a patriot.

I thought Michelle was mighty proud when Damien williams threw a brick at regianld denny’s head during the LA riots or when OJ killed two people, and I bet she was whooping it up when OJ was acquitted. How dare that jew Fred Goldman seek justice aginst an innocent black man.

I bet Michelle Obama would like to throw a brick at many white men’s head, as would most of the black people posting on this thread, becuase deep deep down you want whitey dead…..

I wish to frame my endorsement of Hillary Clinton in the negative, because it’s not so much about the fact that I think Hillary Clinton is great. Frankly, the Democrats ran their most qualified candidates out of the race already.

Rather, I wish to focus on her last remaining opponent, because I cannot begin to tell you how much I have come to loathe Barack Obama’s candidacy in the last few months. You should vote for Hillary Clinton tomorrow because she is not Barack Obama.

First, some frank words for the Democrats. Begin by looking at Obama’s demographic base – African-Americans and affluent, white liberal suburbanites with college degrees. When it comes to the traditional Democratic base – blue collar types, working-class families – Obama gets slaughtered. And frankly, if I were a Democrat, I would be sure to think back to where these voters went the last few times you didn’t give them a candidate that appealed to them.

1988. 1984. 1972. Dukakis. Mondale. McGovern. Didn’t work out so well, did it?

Of course, Obama is black – well, okay, he’s half-black – and that surely is a difference worth noting. All it proves, of course, is that the liberal elites have caved to the identity politics that increasingly defines the Democratic Party. So now they’ve got Barack Obama, the candidate of convenience, the half-black Trojan horse carrying Howard Dean’s old supporters and, somewhere beneath the piles of rhetorical bullshit, Howard Dean’s old message.

The left couldn’t do it alone, but hey, maybe if they co-opt the black vote, that’ll get them the win they’ve been after. The Obama campaign sets new heights when it comes to political manipulation of black Americans by old white liberals.

Secondly, Barack Obama has been given nothing short of a free pass by the fawning press corps, guys like Chris Matthews who can barely contain their orgasmic bliss anytime Obama opens his mouth. Think that’s going to last for another eight months? No way in hell. The print media is already starting to turn on Obama. Everyone’s heard every bad thing about Hillary Clinton that could possibly be said, and she still polls even with McCain. Nobody’s heard a bad word about Barack Obama ever, and he’s barely beating John McCain in head-to-head matchups. Obama’s numbers have nowhere to go but down.

But without even thinking tactically, there are so many reasons to detest the shallow superficiality of the Obama candidacy and what it says about America.

A bi-racial candidate who grew up abroad, went to Columbia and Harvard Law, taught at the University of Chicago, and spent his entire adult life in environments in which his skin color was only an asset and never a liability, Obama has done nothing but run for higher office for the last 12 years. If Barack Obama were running as a Republican, you can bet that every left-wing, mocha-colored talking head on television would be calling him a ladder-climbing Oreo or an Uncle Tom. He’d be getting the same treatment that J.C. Watts, Michael Steele, Thomas Sowell, and every other black Republican gets subjected to. The hypocrisy is astounding.

Obama tries to distract voters by using the word ‘hope’ in every other sentence. Like the magician, he waves his right hand wildly to distract you from his left hand – a left hand which holds a message about America that is profoundly negative and pessimistic. In speech after speech, Obama builds his rhetoric around the theme that anyone who is facing adversity in life should basically throw in the towel because the institutional obstacles that exist are far too great for any of them to overcome.

By blaming government for everyone’s ills, he first liberates anyone from actually assuming any responsibility for their own lot in life. His is the message of victimization, the same one we’ve heard for ages from the far left reaches of American politics. He then immediately offers a solution: vote for me and let me do it all for you.

Don’t kid yourselves. It’s not really “yes, we can.” It’s “yes, I can.” It’s not “we are the change we’ve been waiting for.” It’s “I am the change you have been waiting for.”

Beyond that, Obama then insulates himself from criticism by using another classic weapon of organized religion: shame. He laughingly mocks those who would call him a “hopemonger,” and basically attempts to dump guilt on those who would dare subject his fluffy, feel-good message to any degree of intellectual rigor. Those who would ask questions are nothing but heretics, disbelievers in the message of all that is correct and good.

If you take the time to connect the dots, the message is clear. Vote for me. But don’t you ever dare question me.

And this is the cardinal flaw of the Obama campaign. At its heart, it is preening and narcissistic. It is the San Francisco lampooned by South Park, filled with smug people who bend over to bask in the smell of their own flatulence. It’s filled with supporters so overcome by his perceived eloquence and the collective groupthink of large audiences that it fails to realize it couldn’t tell you five concrete things Obama would do as president.

Michelle Obama offered even more proof of this arrogance in her speech today in Madison, when she said that “for the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.” Okay Michelle, that’s the first time since 1982. Apparently Mrs. Obama wasn’t proud the day the Berlin Wall fell. That over 100 million people in Eastern Europe live under democracy now? Yeah, we had a lot to do with that. But no pride there. Our nation’s collective response in the days following 9/11? Nope, no pride there either. There’s only pride now that a bunch of suckers are buying into her husband’s Benny Hinn-like approach to the presidency. Hold big rallies, make broad statements that virtually no one could disagree with, watch a couple of women faint, then get everyone’s email addresses and hit them up for money.

This is your day, Barack.

That a guy from Harvard Law opts not to appeal to people’s sense of intelligence, but instead skillfully exploits their emotional vulnerability, is almost disgraceful. And that’s important too. Based solely on their academic backgrounds, one might excuse a guy like Mike Huckabee for his emotional and populist appeals. The guy’s got a degree in religion from a little school in Arkansas. But the fact is, the preacher has run harder on ideas than a guy who was editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Of course, that Obama has herded so many sheep speaks no better of the Democrats than the Bush campaign in 2000 spoke of the Republicans. Fact is, many Democrats have become the very people they chastised the Republicans for being in 2000. People who don’t care about qualifications or experience, but rather will pick the guy with the superficial appeal in order to pull one over on the voters.

And so the Playground endorses Hillary Clinton, because at least she talks to you like you’re not in the crowd at a grade school assembly. She will acknowledge that change is not easy, that wishing for something or believing in something doesn’t magically bring it into existence. She knows that come January 21, 2009, Republicans aren’t going to roll over and go “oh gee, Barack, I can’t believe we’ve been so wrong about all of this for so long. You’re right, together we can do it… your way, of course.”

Hope is easy, the opiate of the ignorant, downtrodden masses. Just turn your television on some Sunday morning, and you’ll see a whole bunch of charlatans peddling hope. Walk through a Barnes & Noble and pick up some book by a guy with greasy hair and bonded teeth, like Joel Osteen or Anthony Robbins. They’ll be happy to sell you hope for $24.99 plus tax.

Solutions are hard. And not only is Obama light on solutions, he has absolutely no idea how to get America to the utopia he’s promising in vague, abstract terms. He sells hope because it’s easy. He sells hope because it’s the only thing he’s got.

Barack Obama has spent months telling you that “yes, you can.” And tomorrow when you vote, yes, you can vote for Obama. But if you’re looking for a qualified candidate, then no, you shouldn’t. Since the Republican primary is all but decided, all Wisconsin voters would be well-served by casting their votes for Hillary Clinton tomorrow.

Barack Obama doesn’t need to save us. We need to save ourselves from another 8 1/2 months of his shallow, self-absorbed idiocy.

Obama tries to distract voters by using the word ‘hope’ in every other sentence.

Michelle Obama offered even more proof of this arrogance in her speech today in Madison, when she said that “for the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.” Okay Michelle, that’s the first time since 1982. Apparently Mrs. Obama wasn’t proud the day the Berlin Wall fell. That over 100 million people in Eastern Europe live under democracy now? Yeah, we had a lot to do with that. But no pride there. Our nation’s collective response in the days following 9/11? Nope, no pride there either. There’s only pride now that a bunch of suckers are buying into her husband’s Benny Hinn-like approach to the presidency. Hold big rallies, make broad statements that virtually no one could disagree with, watch a couple of women faint, then get everyone’s email addresses and hit them up for money.

This is your day, Barack.

That a guy from Harvard Law opts not to appeal to people’s sense of intelligence, but instead skillfully exploits their emotional vulnerability, is almost disgraceful. And that’s important too. Based solely on their academic backgrounds, one might excuse a guy like Mike Huckabee for his emotional and populist appeals. The guy’s got a degree in religion from a little school in Arkansas. But the fact is, the preacher has run harder on ideas than a guy who was editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Of course, that Obama has herded so many sheep speaks no better of the Democrats than the Bush campaign in 2000 spoke of the Republicans. Fact is, many Democrats have become the very people they chastised the Republicans for being in 2000. People who don’t care about qualifications or experience, but rather will pick the guy with the superficial appeal in order to pull one over on the voters.

And so the Playground endorses Hillary Clinton, because at least she talks to you like you’re not in the crowd at a grade school assembly. She will acknowledge that change is not easy, that wishing for something or believing in something doesn’t magically bring it into existence. She knows that come January 21, 2009, Republicans aren’t going to roll over and go “oh gee, Barack, I can’t believe we’ve been so wrong about all of this for so long. You’re right, together we can do it… your way, of course.”

Hope is easy, the opiate of the ignorant, downtrodden masses. Just turn your television on some Sunday morning, and you’ll see a whole bunch of charlatans peddling hope. Walk through a Barnes & Noble and pick up some book by a guy with greasy hair and bonded teeth, like Joel Osteen or Anthony Robbins. They’ll be happy to sell you hope for $24.99 plus tax.

Solutions are hard. And not only is Obama light on solutions, he has absolutely no idea how to get America to the utopia he’s promising in vague, abstract terms. He sells hope because it’s easy. He sells hope because it’s the only thing he’s got.

Barack Obama has spent months telling you that “yes, you can.” And tomorrow when you vote, yes, you can vote for Obama. But if you’re looking for a qualified candidate, then no, you shouldn’t. Since the Republican primary is all but decided, all Wisconsin voters would be well-served by casting their votes for Hillary Clinton tomorrow.

Barack Obama doesn’t need to save us. We need to save ourselves from another 8 1/2 months of his shallow, self-absorbed idiocy.

She said, “for the first time I am really proud” — meaning she is a proud American. Her husband happens to be the first African American with a chance to be elected President. Don’t you think that she would be “really proud” of that.

It is clear to me that most of the people posting here have a serious problem with the concept of the first African American President from the stupid things they have been posting.

Hey Spencer, I’m not Black. I just have a sense of empathy. Something all you folks lack. it boggles the mind reading the posts in here. Makes a sane person not proud. how do we produce such stupidity?

She is one very selfish moron!!!

Keith —-

Michelle Obama went to Priceton and Harvard law school, she is making $30000, can you tell us why she is NOT REALLY PROUD of this country as may be 30 days ago in her life?

To all of you black people that are trying to defend Mrs B. Hussein Obama’s comments: You embarrass yourselves. You sound stupid and shallow and wholly incapable of making your entire life something other than all about race. How pathetic.

What a crock of crap to say blacks somehow have a right to say they are not proud of America. Black people have a leg up on everything thanks to affirmative action and whitey’s paranoia about ever being perceived as racist.

But the thing that makes black people playing the race card here so incredibly ignorant is this:

Mrs. B. Hussein Obama has been one full-of-hope woman her entire adult life — privileged schools, pampered kids, fantastic jobs — Christ, she hasn’t had a day WITHOUT hope her whole adult life.

Get over yourselves black people. Life ain’t about color, it’s about right and wrong. If you can’t handle a colorblind life in support of limited government, free markets, private property and individual responsibility I invite you to please leave this Nation ASAP.

I tell you what Tristan I wish I could get a plane to take people like you, Alec Baldwin(who made the stupid statement about leaving America if President Bush were elected. I notice he is still here), Al Gore who makes treasonous statements in another country,Jimmy Carter(the most ignorant President we ever had)and drop you out over Iraq. You make me sick. Even with all of our faults our country is still the greatest and best in the world. I am sick and tired of hearing African Americans throw out the race card whenever they feel like it. Yes there were terrible times in our history about the treatment of slaves and black people. Things aren’t perfect but they are a lot better than they have been. And don’t you dare call me a racist. I have a black son-in-law whom I am very proud of and love very much. I was taught that you look at a person’s heart not the color of their skin. And by the way since when does America have to support you or anyone else for that matter. I don’t want the government mandated my healthcare. And as far as being paid to go to school giving me a break. You are pathetic. Take away your rights? You are spouting your ignorance and noone is at your door dragging you away. You do need to go to school. I think that is what Affirmative Action is all about. HMMMM let me see when my children went to college we paid. Not the government. And killing our sons and daughters? The last time I checked our army is all volunteer. And by the way I am sure if we did have a draft you would tuck your yellow tail between your legs and slither off to Canada. Our government is not our momma and people like you need to get off the government tit. The government is to provide protection and representation in the government. The government is not a candy store. Get a life get a job or get out. As Merle Haggard’s song says If you don’t love it leave it. My daddy, uncles, brother and sister didn’t serve and fight in WWII, Vietnam, and both Desert Storm and Iraqi freedom in vein. That is why you are free to spout your stupidity. Go live anywhere else in the world and then when you get back and kiss the ground then we will talk.

Yep, she is an accomplished lady alright and a proud American — now she is really proud that he husband will be the first African American President.

You guys can twist words all you want to — fine, it is a waste of time. Only haters will see Michelle’s comments for anything other than what they were intended for. To show pride in her husband’s accomplishments.

That clearly drives lots of people nuts from the comments on this board.

Hey Keith,

I’m an Italian-American. Does that mean I should be proud of my country only if an Italian-American has a shot at being President?

Good For Her. Ever since the landing on the moon it’s been down hill. I expected the knee jerk comments from the Sick Far Right. That is all they have. All they have brought is Debt, Death and War.
Democrats are turning out 2 to 1 in the Primaries.
McCain will be Steam Rolled by Sen. Obama. One can expect more Sick Crap from The Sick Far Right. They have nothing else to offer.

My grandfather’s grandfather fought for the Union Army in the Civil War, and I am proud of him for that. That makes me a knuckle dragger?

Keith, Why would an intelligent person have to imply a previous lack of pride to show pride in one’s husband? I think your logic is faulty. She simply is not as prepared to be a presiential first lady as those who have gone before her and Americaqn patriotism is not deeply routed in her. Her church has taught her to defend and love her race and country of origin (Africa) and that is what is consciously and subconsciously rooted deep inside her. I’m more of a Rainbow Coalition girl and have supported candidates that endorse universal acceptance and universal success–not just the love and success of one’s own race.

Both she and her worthless husband should be ran out of America! Obamasama won’t salute the flag and she has never been proud of her country. Sounds like leftist communist to me. May they both rot in hell!

Just for the record John–I am not a conservative and never will be–but I have been saying for months that this Obama thing gives me the creeps and that Michelle is not nearly as ready to be the head woman in the country as she thinks she is. I would say some on this site are conservative and maybe even racist and some are not. Some of us want to see this Obama hysteria exposed for what it is–all rhetoric (some plagerized) and no substance. And if Obama runs in November we will probably have a lot of Dems voting for Mccain.

Michelle, if your husband is elected leader of the free world, then for the first time I will be mortified at our country. Can’t wait for the first OFFICIAL Ahmedinejad and Chavez visits.

If you are now just a proud American then what are you doing in this country? I am tired of you and your husband preaching Change what Change are you talking about? I have always been a Proud American and I stand behind the Freedom that our country USA has provided to all, but my change would be to close the borders and kick out the illegals and you can go with them Michelle Obama and take your family with you. You sound like a racist aganist the Country and I would not want you to represent this fine country. You would be an embarassment to the USA. Has this country not provided for your family. You can kiss my backside you arrogant twit.

John said: “First of all unless you have lived your life as a Black person in America none of you have a right to say anything about this…”

Ridiculous statement as these two Blacks have lived a life far better than most what with two Ivy-League degrees, high paying salaries, kids in private schools and an expensive home in the suburbs which is more than enough reason to be proud of the country that provided it to them.

I have never been more embarrassed to be an American, celebrities, media, liberals and foriegn money buying the presidency, its a shame, and the arrogance of the Obamas is like no other. The worst thing for the USA is people who dont even have faith in USA!

I am no wilting flower, but her words quite nearly floored me. This woman has every reason on earth to be proud of her country. If Hillary does not focus all of her remaining resources on ads that publicize Ms. Obama’s disdain for America, then McCain had better have the guts to run with it. In fact, I believe that a vast majority of Americans, regardless of which political party they adhere, will be absolutely repulsed by her comments. Unfortunately this story will be buried by the MSM and thus must be incorporated into paid political ads in order for the average American to know about it.

Today we learned that Barack is a shameless plagiarist, and his wife has spent her life ashamed of the United States. May tomorrow be even worse for this horrid, two-headed monster. And may God have mercy on us all.

Great, it seems our possible next first lady hates America.

Will the Obama loving press cover this one up? All he gets are softball questons by reporters gushing over him instead of asking the hard questions on the issues. At the same time Hillary is being raked over the coals with no respect or appreciation of her years of service.

Dear John, unless you are All Knowing you couldn’t possible know that the Obamas “worked hard for what they have accomplished”. Michelle Obama was accepted into Princeton and Harvard on the basis of affirmative action. There is speculation that her $300,000/year job at a hospital was partially the result of her husband’s political ties. By they way, I wonder how many $300,000/year jobs as a hospital vp in charge of community affairs there will be under Obama’s proposed nationalized health care program….Seems like Michelle may be part of the problem in health care and not the solution according to the Marxists….

You don’t have the balls to identify where you are from, but I wouldn’t be suprised if you speak french..you said, “I look down my nose at your dysfunctional nation”. I’m sure you realize you could be speaking German right now don’t you?

It seems like Obama’s change is going to be a America I would want to live in. When the next first lady looks at America with as much admiration as Hugo Chavez, we will really be in trouble.

has anyone checked obamas head for 666..what other position would the devil seek for power over the entire world except as president of usa….so many have tried to infer obama is a messiah or equal as prophecy says of antichrist……sounds scary to me…

I wonder if she was proud of africa, they are committed to Africa, maybe they should run for office there, ASAP! Obamas in office would leave me totally hopeless. I would fear for my children and grandchildren until my death. The last thing we need it an Unamerican pig in office

Her church is anti-white also, just wait? Quotes from Barack Obama’s book, Audacity of Hope:
“Lolo (Obama’s step father) followed a brand of Islam ….”I looked to Lolo for guidance”.
“I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.” “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”

I see the racists went on far into the night.

Michelle is right, America is messed up and causing all of the violence in the world. We must downsize our military and PULL OUT NOW! We need to fund free health care and solve global warming. We need to tax greedy rich people, like most all Republicans. We need to tax evil corporations. We need to push a secular agenda and move religion out of our society so peace and non-judgement can move in. We need to solidify abortion rights for all at all times.

Obama, Hillary, Gore, Democrats will all do this. NO MORE Republicans in government. Democrats will finally control ALL OF THE GOVERNMENT! Utopia is at hand, at last!

“America just takes your money, kills your sons and daughters and takes away our rights. There isn’t any reason to be proud of America. I’m so ashamed of my country and wish it would catch up to the rest of the world.”
Scoot the bong back for a minute and think about that statement. What rights have you lost? Did the sons and daughters get drafted or did they volunteer? You’re ashamed of America? Don’t let the door hit you in the arse you silly fool. Go live somewhere else that is better. Where? I can’t help you with that-this is the worst place in the world EXCEEPT FOR EVERY PLACE ELSE. God bless America-and even you-you friggen eejit.

ME:
The problem with underlining the word “really” would mean that you are giving the word EMPHASIS. If you LISTEN to the quote, you will see that the word “really” wasn’t emphasized, it was a throwaway word, ala, “uh” “um” “y’know”, etc. Michelle Obama did not emphasize the word really, you can actually barely hear it.

Mrs. Obama’s comment is truly disgraceful for all of the reasons pointed out above, mostly though because of what this country has allowed HER personally to achieve.

Equally offensive are the racist comments here. There is NO PLACE for this sort of thing and it IS NOT THE POSITION OF THE MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS and FREE THINKERS! Unfortunately, as founder of a website and grassroots movement promoting the candidacy of Dr. Condoleezza Rice, (www.Rice2008.com) I know all together too well how truly disgusting and evil a very small minority of ignorant people can be.

PS: To all of you “open-minded” and “hope-filled” liberals out there, answer this. Why is every single conservative African American lambasted and destroyed by your ideological comrades? Is it truly possible that EVERY SINGLE person of color who follows the conservative ideology as evil as they’ve been made out to be?

So much for “Freedom of thought.”

Even an ounce of intellectual honesty would require at least a couple conservative Black thinkers to be respected by the race baiters.

Best,

John,
So if the Obamas worked hard for what they accomplished why are they trying to raise our taxes to “provide” for every want and need of every person. If it worked for them, why cant it not work for every one.
You say you look down your nose at our dysfunctional nation, well I guess you are not American, so what does it matter to you jerk, Oh, I know some how your pathetic country probably needs some help, or for our military to save your worthless butt. New flash for you, stick to your own politics.
You don’t get it, you never will. America was founded on hard work, if you play by the rules and work hard you can make a decent life for your family.
As for the war, every country believed that Iraq had WMD’s every one. He thumbed his nose at the UN, kicked out the inspectors out etc etc. Tell me, I guess you would say that the UN had the problem worked out. What has the UN done to cut back on war, starvation, genocide? The only country that has balls to do anything is the US. You will be sorry one day if we just say screw it, you (the world) are on your own. Then all of these countries will have to start paying to have your own military. Or.. just pull out your prayer mats and find Mecca.
Did you fail to notice that Libya gave up their nuclear weapons when we went in to Iraq? Miss that?? Goggle it smart boy.

DEBUNKING THE MEDIA’S “OBAMA CULT”…There’s a new favorite theme emerging in media coverage of Obama’s campaign. Apparently, all of his supporters–and especially his young supporters–are in fact glassy-eyed, brainwashed cult worshipers.
It started earlier this month, with TIME magazine’s Joe Klein saying that there was “something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism” of Obama’s speech on Super Tuesday. ABC’s Jake Tapper took up the joke, blogging: “The Holy Season of Lent is upon us. Can Obama worshippers try to give up their Helter-Skelter cult-ish qualities for a few weeks?” New York Times columnist Paul Krugman claimed last week that “the Obama campaign seems dangerously close to becoming a cult of personality.” Citing the star-studded “Yes We Can” music video as evidence of this cult worship, another Times columnist, David Brooks, quipped recently that the “escalating states of righteousness and ecstasy” in the clip would soon translate to “selling flowers at airports and arranging mass weddings.”
… Covering what it called the “Obama-mania backlash,” CNN panned over a group of college-age Obama supporters as the question “Creepy?” appeared on the screen. … Isn’t the generation that Obama has so successfully courted usually the first to toss overhyped products, even the over hyped products with which they were at first so enthralled?”
It is essential that young Obama supporters pressure their candidate on the issues that matter to them, and equally important that young voters examine the policies of the candidates before deciding. And many have done that. Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg, a young activist and blogger, wrote a satirical piece recently expressing the concrete policy reasons he is hesitant about Obama. Clinton has managed to draw significant support from young Latinos and non-college young voters in some states by convincing them she’s stronger on their issues.
… Obama does in fact have the support of many young voters, and they’ve turned out to prove it. Young people have been derided for years for their lack of participation in the political process, and when they finally do, they are called cultish? Nothing will take the air out of a movement like being told that its enthusiasm is “creepy.”

There’s going to be riots whether Hussein Osama wins or loses, his “people” can’t handle victory or defeat. Keep ‘em loaded folks.

I listened to her speech last night on C-Span. The entire speech. Out of everything she said I it’s typical that one sound-bite, taken out of context, is the headline. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, either for or against the Obamas, it would be nice if people would take the time to do a little research before spouting off. It makes you sound ignorant. Why do we continue to get upset over soundbites? If you didn’t listen to more than just this one little clip what are you so upset about? Conservatives and Liberals get in trouble all the time over soundbites and both have to clarify what they said. Stop letting yourselves get riled up about what you’ve not researched. It’s silly.

AFTER THIS COMMENT, NOBODY PATRIOTIC ABOUT THIS COUNTRY WILL EVER VOTE FOR OBAMA.
EVEN IF YOU ASK THE IMMIGRANT LABORERS WORKING IN THE FIELDS, ASK THE PEOPLE WHO WORK ON MINIMUM WAGES IN WISCONSIN AND TEXAS AND I AM SURE THEY WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE PROUD OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY.
I LOVE MY COUNTRY UNCONDITIONALLY, NO IF, BUT THEN, OR NOW. PERIOD.

I saw Queen Michelle Obama admit she had horrible tests scores in school, and if tests mattered, as it does for white and asian kids, she wouldn’t be where she is today. Hmm, did she just admit she is a complete idiot? She talks about hating tests, but she sure didn’t mind her kids taking a test to get into their elite private school. She praises public education, but wouldn’t let her own kids go to school with regular folks. At least we all know that this election is all about the Obamas. Our country is just plain backwards if we don’t do what these two millionaires tell us what to do. I HOPE they lose badly. For a guy who won’t salute the flag, and a bitter woman who can’t think of one good thing about this country, I suggest going to the JFK terminal and finding a better place to raise their kids. Heck, I bet they have corrupt Chicago politicians in France.

From my heart to America:

This comment, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country,” The key words being “really proud”. I as a black man who grew up in suburban Virginia Beach, VA and having both white and black friends growing up, mostly white, always tried to move on past racial divisions of our countries past. Although I had white friends, I could still feel the resentment of their parents for their child befriending a black kid. Sometimes I had to wait outside in the hot sun and wait for my friends to get ready, never being invited in by the parents. I felt that, even as a child. I too share her feelings in some aspect. I think I can speak for most blacks, hispanics, asians or any other minority, that it really does make you proud to know that white males, white women are truly getting past our past and coming together regardless of race. This brings tears to eyes of most blacks, that we are a country for change and the past is turly becoming the past. For her to even say this “being an inner truth” that only those with an oppressed past really can understand. I too applaud America more than I have any other time in my life. Whether he win or lose, I too am “really proud” to be an American. Thank you.

I bet she wasn’t proud the day her husband arranged a land deal — property valued at $1.2 million sold to the Obamas for $60,000 so they could build their palace in Chicago. I bet she wasn’t proud that she is connected to an indicted mobster. She wasn’t proud the day the civil rights act was passed? The day our hostages came back from Iran? I got Obama Trauma — people with potential acting like total idiots and polarizing this country. Not much of a uniter.

Obama reminds me of Nicholai Carpathia. Does anyone seriously want this lady in the WHite house? I don’t want a president who claims he is better and fresher than the guys in Washington but was a cokehead and deals with the slumlords. What a righteous idiot!!! The Obamanoids are under a spell!!

Thanks for your HELP in Europe in WW II. It was only help and you don’t deserve much thanks because all through the first half of it you self centered Americans did not want to have anything to do with it. Just like our French province of Quebec, you are more like them. In fact, your Congress passed a law that made it a crime for your president to do anything to help us. You proud of that? I’m sure you are not even aware of this with the crap school system you have down there. You proud of that? You have so much to be ashamed of. You have had 5 years to settle a small nation down and you have made a mess of it. Proud of that? You are seen as the idiot nation of the world having voted Bush in , twice! Proud? And just in case you are wondering, if another attack comes and you point to George Bush and say “see we were right” you are just a dumb as we think you are.

MSNBC misquoted Michelle Obama, leaving out the word “really”.
“For the first time in my adult lifetime I am REALLY proud of my country”, suggesting that she’s always been proud and is now REALLY proud. The difference with or without this word is profound.
I think she speaks for most of us.

Conservatives object to African-American woman’s perspective on society; film at 11.

FIRST time she is proud of her country in her adult life? How old is she? Eight then? But oh yes, we have got to remember that to her and her husband who claim to have “above average” children compared to us lowly people, anyone born before 1980 and the Golden Age of Ronald Reagan was a dope smoking freeloading hippie that didn’t do anything. What a couple of arrogant self-centered people they are.

From all these comments it sounds as if someone should come up with a bumper sticker saying “MUZZLE MICHELLE”. First husband bashing and now country bashing. She may not have been thinking she sounded like she was bashing but she did to a lot of people. This just confirms to me that both the Obamas are too “green” in potitics to survive in the real rough and tumble of the national presidential campaign, although I agree that Barack is a compelling orator. Hillary’s credentials are far superior.

WELL michelle you and obama have just ruined your chances of ever winning this election…one thing American’s don’t like is someone fcuck. with the USA. americans’ love America and if you fcuck with it you will burn….

Her true racist and ignorant anti-American colors shine forth. VILE. DISGUSTING. She’s repeating what she hears at that racist anti-American ‘church’ that she and her hubby go to. Ya’ll should google ‘obamas church’ and get an education into who she and her hubby think.

Her hubby is the same racist anti-American that she is. People must be totally idiots to vote for her husband. Or total anti-Americans. (which is pretty much the same thing as being a total idiot)

BTW – the ignorant anti-Americans posting here should really stop being so obviously jealous of America .. and get an education. Ya’ll are pathetic obamatrons. You’ve drank the far left koolaide of anti-American socialism. tsk tsk

I watched the entire speech. It was amazing! She was so sincere and confident. I loved it!

She spoke about reality that We The People deal with on a day-to-day basis.

She spoke for real people not for corporations.

And her phrase that you guys are all worked up about meant simply this:

That in her adult life she is, right now, VERY proud that The People of the United States of America are standing up united for change. This is something to be very proud of!

This is our country! We have to hold our leaders accountable no matter what party they are a part of. They must be chosen by us and we should choose them using free independent thinking.

Bottom Line:

If anyone took her out of context and was offended then you were not listening.

It was one of the most amazing and insprational political speeches I have heard in my entire life. It’s just a bid saddening to me to see so many people blatantely hating her and her family! They ARE America and freedom!

She said in her “adult” life. So lets go back to when she turned 18, which would have been 25 to 27 years ago. What has happened in America since 1980 that we all should be soooo proud of? Especially for african-americans. People always assume that everyones experience is the same in America and it’s not. She didn’t say that she hated America or that she thinks America is a terrible country. The fact that people are even making a issue of this is absurd.

Toni, the Obamas worked hard for what they have accomplished. The US did not “provide” it to them. I’m sure they would have done the same in say, Canada. Then they would have been proud of not starting a stupid useless war. I look down my nose at your dysfunctional nation. It needs to be fixed. You crazy right wingers need to be crushed.

Thanks, Gemini – very gracious of you!

You see comments like the one John Romano made is what voting does to truly see someones color. This is what can make a black woman say “really proud”. Because votes have no color.

I can understand why some Americans are ashamed.
We had nearly eight years with an administration which manipulated and disenfranchied hundreds of thousands of voters in 2 elections, lead our nation with misinformation (those silly little 16 words in the State of the Union)into an illegal invasion, allowed a tradgety like Katrina to happen, HECK OF A JOB BROWNIE, giving more money to the one percent of the wealthy.
Prior to that our government has been so divided that we were unable to accomplish what we needed to.
Personally I have felt silenced, and invisable.
Today, I too, like Michele Obama, am proud and feel hopeful knowing that someone who can lead us and unite us as Americans, restore our image around the world and take us progressively into the future is running for president of my great nation.
Then after reading the majority of the posts written here, I actually am more ashamed that those people who said such small minded things can call yourselves Americans.
I guess we are a true melting pot.

How could anyone, even if you HATE Hillary, vote for: ONE HUNDRED YEARS IN IRAQ, BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN, MCCAIN?

For the first time in her adult life, she’s proud of her country, she says.

Mrs Obama was born in 1964. So was I.

Since then, America ended segregation. America landed the first, and only, men on the Moon, and conducted hundreds of other space exploration missions. America has won dozens of Nobel prizes in that period, revolutionized the world’s standard of living with countless inventions and the development of the internet and personal computer. Tens of thousands of Americans have given their lives to defend allies and preserve freedom around the globe. We’ve given hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign aid and disaster relief. We won the Cold War.

But nah, nothing to be proud of until Obama won the Democratic party nomination.

WOW! After reading so many of these post, you can see what Mrs. Obama was talking about, it’s been a long haul for people to unit and live in peace. The level of racial hate over the years is sad. Our history has many sins to repent of, from the “Trail of Tears” to the Civil War, such stories trail on and on.

Let us turn from such darkness. Press forward in the light of a better tomorrow and let the healing commence.

[...] Click here to see the video of Michelle Obama talking about being proud of her country for the first… [...]

4 years of “Really, Proud” of our country, why yes that’s exactly what we have been missing.

WOW! SO NOW SHE IS REALLY PROUD THAT AMERICA IS BUYING THIER REHTORIC! BILL CLINTON TELLS AMERICA THAT OBAMAS FLIP FLOP ON IRAG IS BULL AND A FAIRY TALE CLINTON LOSES ALL THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTES WHAT! SO KNOW SAINT OBAMAS WIFE MAKES A POINT THAT SHE IS ONLY PROUD THAT AMERICA IS BECOMING PRETTY STUPID TO VOTE FOR A MAN THAT CAN’T EVEN TALK WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER! WELL LISTEN AMERICA ALOT MORE IS COMING OUT ABOUT THE MESSIAH OK AND YOU BEST GET PREPARED FOR THIS! TONY REZKO IS ON THE NEWS ON MARCH 3RD AND BET YOUR COOL AID DRINKING OBAMA CULT HE WILL BE IN THE MIX OF IT! I WILL MAKE SURE OF THAT! OBAMA IS A CROOKED MAN AND HIS WIFE IS JUST AS BAD READ UP ON HER SCANDALS AS WELL!

I refuse to accept the notion that I need to disregard Mrs. Obama’s lack of pride because “her people came here by force and were oppressed”. At what point are we free of the “sins of of our fathers”. We are not our fathers and we should not be judged by their actions. The implication that not voting for Obama indicates a return to the inhumanity of slavery is insulting. To lay the burden of slavery on modern Americans for a practice that was started thousands of years before America was even a dream and continues to this very day in countries all over the world is silly. We should not be so shallow as to think that such a condescending attitude towards black people is the measure of freedom. To say that blacks should view their lives through a different prism because of how they got here is to disrespect the efforts of black policemen, firefighters, solders and every other black person who take pride in the simple things that make us Americans. Not black Americans just Americans.

That is just sad and pathetic if just because her husband is running for Prez, she just now is proud of the U.S. That’s just unbelievable. What a dumb thing to say.

With people like those on this board who senselessly (with full racism in tact) slander Barack Obama by transposing his name to include references to Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, can you blame Michelle Obama for not ALWAYS being proud of this country? This is a country where every media outlet is currently (in the year 2008) filled with discussions about whether or not America is “ready” for a Black president or a female president when countries throughout the world – large and small (Israel, the UK) – have had female leaders well before we even entered the 21st century! This is a country that is currently ridiculed by other civilized, thinking nations for the poor decisions that our current president and government have made, and the lies that they have told in the process of making those choices. Those are very REAL reasons to not ALWAYS be REALLTY proud to be an American, folks. And I agree with the earlier post…America is supposed to be a place where free speech and opinions are heralded – not countered with disgusting, racist judgements like those littered across this board. I, for one, am happily voting for Barack Obama and believe that he and Michelle will create an administration that we can ALL be REALLY proud of.

She’s a valuable Republican ally with the irreparable damage she is capable of creating with her mouth. You go girl! Keep talking! Hahahahaha.

I haven’t been proud of this country in a long time. In fact, this country as made my heart sick over the last 7 years.

I will be “really proud” too for the first time in my adult life when obama wins and you right wingers have to froth at the mouth for 8 years.

Suck it wingers.

Michelle Obama’s comment does not deserve intellectual interpretation. Simply, it is utter narcissistic crap. It is though her husband’s candidacy is the cure-all for everything wrong. This gentleman is a great orator without a scintilla of substance or proven leadership based on any track record whatsoever. He has a blinded unsophisitcated wishful thinking public following the pied piper right over the cliff. Obama and George Bush amazingly have something very much in common, i.e., no experience, making a total mess of the country and continuing the trend into the future.

Jimmy Crackhead,
The real difference between us is, even when the Clintons were in power, we STILL LOVED “THE COUNTRY” AND WAS PROUD OF IT.
If Ob wins WE STILL WILL BE PROUD AND WILL STILL LOVE THIS “GREAT COUNTRY.”
That is the differcance, you wont.
I bet you were real proud of Bill having sex in the Oval office.

I think it has been so romantic to pseudointellectuals and youth to have the opportunity to vote for an articulate AfroAmerican.The media joins in and all is well…until the media does its impartial research and reporting. It is amazing to me that his base of income earners (over 80K) and 4year college grads aren’t upset over his taking almost verbatim another’s speech. Even more so how upset they should be that the media is making excuses for this. I taught school and “cites” were very important as they are in any written or spoken word. This is OUR COUNTRY and we the people should base our votes on who will make the best president for our future. I am an independent voter who would love to see the action behind the words…I just can’t find it at this time…peace

Thanks, I was wondering the losers were coming from – Drudge, of course!

Obama is our Savior. Please everyone, you must realize that Michelle as a African American has been wronged by america. Obama will treaty with our Muslim brothers. Barak and Michelle need to have the opportunity to create change by teaching americans on the errors of their ways!

Why are you posting a doctored video clip where the audio gets muted as she says the word “really” when she says she is “really proud”? Certainly there are other video clips of the same speech that haven’t been manipulated to skew the context of Michelle Obama’s speech. I could send you a link to one if you would like.

If Michelle’s husband get’s elected, it will be the first time in my adult lifetime that I am not proud of my country.

“well I guess you are not American, so what does it matter to you jerk” Because your fat American ass effects most other nations and you screw them with this attitude of “American interests” like no one else’s matter. We have a stake, so we get to spout off, jerk.
“America was founded on hard work, if you play by the rules and work hard you can make a decent life for your family.”
And it’s not like that in any other country? Travel you hermit, open your eyes, the US isn’t the only country in the world.

“As for the war, every country believed that Iraq had WMD’s every one.”

You mean after the intel went through Dick’s office?
You should ask yourself why you could only convince the wimp PMs of UK and Australia to follow you. Canada and nobody else went in with you. Before you show your ignorance Canada and many others are in Afghanistan.

“He thumbed his nose at the UN, kicked out the inspectors out etc etc. Tell me, I guess you would say that the UN had the problem worked out. What has the UN done to cut back on war, starvation, genocide?”

You Americans STOPPED the UN when it was asked for help in the Genocide in Rhawanda, you ignorant jerk!

“The only country that has balls to do anything is the US. You will be sorry one day if we just say screw it, you (the world) are on your own.”

Maybe Isreal will be sorry if you do that, but the world does not care for the bully.

Racist and anti-American Michelle Obama .. yet another reason to vote for John McCain. A MODERATE – which is something this country needs. Not a far right wing bible thumper. Not a far left wing anti-American socialist. MODERATE = John McCain.

For those who are white – which includes me – why do you believe you’d be proud of this country if you were black? My own ancestors’ arrival in America preceded the Revolution. My direct ancestors fought for this country in the Revolution, Civil War and WWII, and I’ve had relatives in all the other major wars. My own heritage is part of what makes me proud of this country – some sense of ownership, of gratitude, of heritage. I also had direct ancestors who were slaveholders and traded humans, and their offspring, as they would property.

If my heritage were those humans who were legally traded as property in this country, I’m guessing my notion of rich history and ownership in this country would be much different.

I’m a McCain supporter, but I hope that Obama’s candidacy does a lot to infuse the black community that this country is theirs too. Maybe we can make a step away from enmity and toward just being fellow citizens with mutual goals and interests.

If Michelle Obama suggests that she’s struggled to feel pride in her country, maybe we should just believe her and hope that what’s happening right now will make a difference for all African-Americans.

McCain can barely stand up with out a walker. When he talks all I can see is Alzheimers. If he is elected President, the only thing that will get done during his term is his funeral. We need a fresh approach on things. Not Bush, Not Clinton, Not Bush, Not Clinton and definetly not McCain. This is the best the Republicans have. America is not impressed and it will show, no matter who gets the Democratic Nomination.

Because some of us don’t believe Mr. Obama is prepared to be President we’re accused of being racist. Because some of us believe that anyone living the life the Obamas live should be proud of the country that offered them that life, we are accused of being racist. Because some of us believe that the ability to deliver on a promise is more important then the promise we are accused of being STUPID racist.

I understand that Mrs. Obama was being hyperbolic. What I also understand is that the hyperbole comes from a core of belief that, despite all the good things she has received in her life because of this country, it is not enough and she deserves more. What I understand is that the Obama’s have been influenced by people who actually have a reason for being distrustful but only remember what is was like then and have no use for those who helped them get to where they are now.

I could care less that Mr. Obama is black or is a highly educated, charismatic, caring individual with fresh ideas on how America would be a better place if only we vote for him. What I care about is if he has the ability to drive the machine that is our government. A machine that will make him compromise his beliefs to make anything happen. A machine that will make him deliver on promises he made to the machine before it allows him to deliver on the promise he made to his followers. A machine that requires someone who knows how to operate it. I think the answer is no. That doesn’t make me a racist, it makes me a realist.

Tamdar,

I’m not republican, but if the nominees were from this blog and I were to vote republican I would vote for you. You are the only republican on this blog that has seemed to look at things from a rational perspective. Kudos to you, my first Republican friend.

Talk about my wife? You Whiteys wait until I seize, I mean uh win, the White House.

The days of Whitey are done. All I have to do is trick you people for nine more months.

South Africa was nothing compared to what I have in store for America.

I really hope people don’t realize that Axel is running my campaign like that kooky eyed Deval Patrick.

Hope, hope, hope. Just keep saying it again and again.

I am so glad that you crackers hate Hillary. A perfect time for me and Moveon.org to move on into the White House. LOL.

Lastly, all sports teams will be renamed “Bears” and all churches will adopt the Black Value system or be taxed like the Whiteys they are.

What up.

BO

Americans have indeed been embarassed by Bush the last 8 years:

-Abu Ghraib
-Torture
-Wiretapping
-Iraq WMD

Anyone who has gone abroad and has had to listen to the criticism from people aroudn the world knows what I mean.

I think all Americans will be proud again of America when that despicable little clown Bush is gone. It will truly be “Morning in America again”

Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way tamdar is white or Republican.

Silly “imposter” your comment reads like a Nigerian lotto scam.

SHHHHHH, This dude is having a NIU, VATECH momment. Nobody move, he might start shooting.

[...] «www.breitbart.tv» [...]

The comment shows the real Michelle Obama coming out.

The more she talks the truth comes out

God help us if she gets in……..

If you were never proud of this country go to Cuba.

Men and Women Die for our country in World War II…

There are too many, like John, who hate Americans without really knowing why. An American administration lied about the WMD’s, therefore the rest of the world can be forgiven for being deceived but all Americans are devils. An American President did not stop the slaughter in Rwanda ergo all Americans are evil (by the way, you should know your facts before you condemn an entire nation. Here’s a good article if you want truth and not rhetoric. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200109/power-genocide). It’s illogical of him to plead for American’s to stop the bad things that happen (Rwanda) out of one side of his mouth, while he accuses us of being a “bully” out of the other side of his mouth. Hopefully, most of the world does care about Americans. There are only a few, like John, who hate the entire nation for the actions of a few. America has done more for the welfare of the people in this world, and continues to do more, then any other nation in history yet it will never be enough for John. I would suggest to John that he himself do some traveling. He will find Americans helping untold millions throughout the world.

John Henry,

Until you see it from TAMDARS eyes you will never understand these statements. Pride in one’s country is subjective to the view of that person. If you never have been oppressed by this country then you would never see that view. All other people come to this country to get away from oppression, her people came to this country by force and were oppressed. The reality that truly may be a thing of the past would is something to “really be proud” of.

If Barack is elected President, (since the race is between him and Hillary). Other countries will truly see us as the land of the free. We made a 180 degree turn around from where we started and we did with the vote of the people.

Keep talking, Michelle.

Think about it: four years of that?

“People in this country are ready for change and hungry for a different kind of politics and … for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback Greeted with rousing applause after making the comment in Milwaukee, Obama delivered an amended version of the speech later that day in Madison, Wis.
For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country … not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change,” she said. “I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment.”

She ammended the speach to include really the second time. Reckless and arrogant comments.

i’m glad you 500 or so obama haters on this blog are in the minority, and michelle and her husband are winning the race for the white house. it’s high time we painted the white house black at least for a few years, Bush messed it up for white men in the white house, there will probably never be another white male president until the black presidents and women presidents fix the big problems. then and only then will white men will trust themselves enough to vote themselves into office… don’t get it twisted, white men are the silent majority who are putting obama in the white house, and these white men obvious haven’t been proud of their country in a while either or else they wouldn’t be voting for a black man. so get off michelle’s back, please.

I have been listening and taking notice of several things about the Barack campaign that disturb me. This statement adds to the others in which many followers are almost brainwashed chatting his sloggan “yes we can” mindlessly. His platform is without substance but his followers believe in him like members of a cult, without question. His far-left promises and stances lean toward communism. This is frightening. I am very proud of this country even though we have a long way to go. I am voting for McCain because I believe instead of slick words he will act, McCain is a hero and America should be proud of him instead of a man that has done little to this point to serve this country.

Just goes to show all of us what the left thinks of this nation.The dem party is the party of hate,racists,child molesters,and law-breaking losers.The hate America first crowd has jumped to her defense.Just read the blathering stupidity from ojc and tristan above,and you get all you need to know about their sick,demented views of what a country is.Ask not what you can do for your country,but what your country can do for you and how soon will my check be in the mail.I wish these leftist loons would get out like they all promised if bush was elected,really scares us all to lose such a bunch of up-standing citizens.Please go now,less of a drag on the working class to have to support your lazy buts and dope habits.Praise Alluh, all you dems…

[...] Michelle Obama said, “for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.” Now Michelle hasn’t exactly led a life of your typical third world citizen. She graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Law School. While America may not be perfect, it is by far and away the greatest nation on earth. If she was so anti-U.S. for the last 25 years, why did she bother staying? The fact that millions of people are trying to enter the U.S. every year means something. You don’t see people crowding into boats to be smuggled into Cuba (enjoy your retirement, Fidel). [...]

I think this woman should be ashamed of herself, she is not first lady material. Michelle says for the first time in her adult life she is now proud? If she wasnt’ proud of America before then why does she bother to live in our great nation? What is her problem? America has come a long way, made a great deal of progress and has helped millions around the world. The fact the Barack Obama remains silent suggests to me that he agrees with what his wife said and if either of them try to explain this tomorrow it will be over 48 hours too late and seen as not sincere. In my opinon I think it’s now the duty of every American voter who loves their country to vote for Hillary Clinton in order to prevent Obama from getting the nomination and even have a chance to become President.

Michelle Obama was mighty proud of OJ cutting Nicole’s throat and stabbing the jew ron Goldman. Michele was even prouder of the OJ Jury, she was also mighty proud of damien “football” willimas, the man whom thrwo a brick at the back of the head of reginald denny, and she was creaming in her pants when Ron Artest, jermaine O/Niel and Steven Jackson attacked white fans at the palace in auburn Hills, following the pistons-pacers melee. I got to hand it to her, she also has a framed picture of winnie Mandela hanging somewhere in her home, perhaps white males will get ” the tire treatment”, by Michelle. Oh yes white men running round the streets of every major city burning to death like tiki-torches. Michelle, Maxine watters and Sheila jackson lee shucking and jiving to the tunes of Jay-Z, Ludicris, 50 cent and the racist punk Kanye west. Moreoever Michelle will also be proud to have Michael Vick and Letrell spreewell in her camp also. And of course al sharpton leading the Michelle Obama brigades, burning out all of the jews whom own property, like Freddie’s clothing market, why not kill a few workers, why not , good for the cause. hey Jessie jackosn imposing taxes on white people, its all good. The B**** needs to be dealt with. So does saddam Hussein Osama Obama, rcaist punk. Come throw a brick at the back of my head Michelle Obama, you aunt jimima b****.

never commented before,and she should find a place to go to that she may raise her kids to be proud. this isnt the place for her.

So, is that like saying “I’ve been ashamed of my Country at some point in the past”? Haven’t you ever? Think about that before you cast the first stone. Are you proud of every foreign and domestic policy decision taken by America? I’m not proud of torturing people. I’m not proud of our government bending the rules at times. In the big picture I’m quite proud of America. I would not dismiss someone just because they have been ashamed of America for a reason. It is our biggest strength to be able to see fault in ourselves, because it is the first step to fix it.

Dear Michele;

I wear a size 7 1/8 baseball cap. So I guess a Vespa tire will fit around my neck, when you plan to round me up, tie the tire down around my neck, pour good Citgo gasoline into the tire, and then light me up like a tiki torch, nothing like Whitey being burned alive, huh Michelle? Oh by the way I live in Manhattan beach, not to far from the South Central LA chapter of the Michelle Obama gangster tire company. I am sure the old crack ho- Maxine watters will give you a hand, and maybe Johnnie Cochran’s widow. Just think Michelle, you can give all da brothers all da white women they want after all of us mighty whitey’s are turned to ash by your brigades…..

Dear Michelle,

You can take your reparations for slavery and stick them right up your fat ass also…OOOOGGGGAAAAA
BOOOOOOGGGGGGAAAAAAA

It was a dumb comment for one reason only. It will now give the Republicans something to harp on for the next 9 months. Because let’s face it, they have nothing else. Your president started a war that has cost this country hundreds of billions of dollars, thousands of lives, and the reputation of this great nation. He created the biggest budget deficit in history, while cutting taxes on the richest Americans. He’s ignored global warming, disrespected the US constitution, and delayed vital stem cell research that could eventually save many lives. And John McCain has embraced most of this tragic legacy.

So the Republican spin machine better play that video over and over again, because they have nothing else to run on.

Boy when the media throws a bone many of you just scurry after it with salivating gums don’t you. One simple comment and not even 24hrs later she is played out to be a US hating racist. Nice job media, you sure know how to get the mindless bubbling over nothing. There is a big boulder in the middle of this street that too many of you are overlooking….its called context….say it with me CON-TEXT. The whole point of her speech was about how finally the people of this country are uniting, are wanting to make a difference, are not willing to sit back and watch another administration dig us deeper into the hole of despair. We want that political change as a whole to make this nation a better place, and even the world. Last time we did that as a country was in the 60s, when she was a kid, hence the “adult life” comment. So yes, in that light she can finally be proud of her country and so can I. Could she have worded it differently? Sure, handing possible ammunition to opponents that are grasping is never a good idea. However, I would rather her speak her mind with a few misunderstandings on her meanings, than have her given a script and told to smile pretty for the cameras like a plastic doll with a pull string. So drop that bone people and think, stop eating everything your fed. That’s how bush got re-elected.

In reference to the post by the Australian, I wish we had candidates running for President like the leadership in Australia. Leadership that says “Learn English, learn and honor our traditions, be productive, or go home!”

Good job editing the sound, but I think the word “really” could have been dropped more completely out of the audio. Also, I think more of an attempt should have been made to blur the video, so that people can’t read her lips when she says “really”.

“…for the first time in my adult life, I’m REALLY proud of my country.”

Funny, the transcript under the video clip is complete, but the video has been edited.

Agenda, much? Shame on you, Breitbart!

Its lovely how all you right wing idiots are willing to take a misconstrued statement and turn it into the definition of why you hate Obama, why you hate blacks, why you hate affirmitive action, why you hate democrats. Why don’t you argue on the real issues here? In fact why don’t you pay attention to the real issues here before we end up with another catastrophic republican presidency like the last one. How proud are you every time you hear one of Bushies fumbling retarded speaches?

Why is this edited? When will cheap political tactics end?

This is bogus. She said that she “was really proud of her country” which implies that she was already proud of her country and even more so now. Someone apparently deleted the word “really”. It’s really sickening that someone would stoop so low to slime a candidate…incredible.

[...] said “…for the first time in my adult life I am really proud of my country.” The video of this speech is apparently linked this morning at [...]

So, the republicans and conservatives must be incredibly desperate. After nearly 8 years of abject failure by George Bush and 6 years of failure by a Republican congress, this is all you have work with in the campaign. Let’s see, failure to stop the terrorist attacks of 9/11 by al Qaeda even after Condoleeza Rice and the president received 56 different warnings; lies and distortions leading us into an unneeded and costly war and disastrous occupation where we have aided in the ethnic cleansing and created the 2nd worst refugee crisis after Darfur; an economy that has sputtered, including the possibility of a recurrence of Stagflation, the scourge of the early seventies that followed the disastrous war in Vietnam; a possible economic meltdown due to the Libertarian policies of Alan Greenspan regarding subprime loan practices, fully embraced by President Bush; the administration trying to perpetually cut benefits to veterans who served with honor in Afghanistan and Iraq; the presidents support of Musharaff of Pakistan though he has a brutal record as a dictator; the evisceration of the Bill of Rights by the Bush Administration, including the 4th amendment and unlawful searches and seizures of citizen property, the illegal wiretapping of citizen phone calls and confiscation of e-mails through communication hubs; the firing of federal attorney generals who would not cooperate with Alberto Gonzalez’s desires to prosecute democrats on fake charges(see the case of Don Siegelman in Alabama and the scandal in New Mexico with the attorney general there being harrassed by Senator Pete Dominici for not prosecuting false charges of voter fraud.); And there are many more that I haven’t listed. So, do you really want to run on that record. Of course not, republicans and conservative do not want to debate that record. They would rather poorly edit a video tape of Michelle Obama’s speech and claim that she is not patriotic. How about that, republicans and conservatives taking the last refuge of scoundrels. HMMMMM….

Obama won big in Wisconsin.

The people of Wisconsin were not upset by what Michelle Obama she said. They heard the speech They understood she meant. Michelle Obama is Really proud of the fact that in first time in her life so many Americans are involved in the political process and working for a change. The enthusiam and record turnout out of voters is unprecedented.

Shame on anyone who jumps to false conclusions based on one sentence out of 45 minute speech.

Note to men, if a woman says she is really proud of you, don’t ASSume she wasn’t proud of you, or ashamed of you before.

This is a big story about nothing. If the Obama’s were not proud Americans, Barack wouldn’t be running for President, period. This is just a preview of the nit-picking and word-twisting that McCain will resort to in the general election. Typical Republican tactics. And boo on Clinton for being such a bad loser.

Oh…and for all of the people on this board who have resorted to RACIST comments to make their (typically mispelled) points…you should be ashamed of yourselves! It’s comments like those that really put Michelle’s comments in a better light.

I am proud of this country (not really proud, but surprised and proud) because for the first time the Barack Obama campaign has managed to build coalitions across race, income and ethnic lines. This is the important takeaway from this flap…not who Michelle is or what you THINK she stands for!!! CHANGE AND HOPE DO MATTER. We believed it when JFK said, when Lincoln said it, when FDR said it.

Plus: If you think that’s a pile of hooey…just look at the 500,000 plus Wisconsin voters (plus the million other primary and caucus voters) who believe that.

This may be reading into it a bit but I think what she meant was that she was proud of her country for uniting around a black president because it means that blacks can really make it to the highest levels of society. I think it’s hard for African-Americans to be proud of a country when they see it as a “White country” that they happen to be living in but this is a hope for change.

I rather have Colin Powell for president and not her husband because I still really don’t know what he really stands for. “Change” he has said but what change? Sounds pretty scary to me.

I just watched the beginning of Brian Williams’ NBC news at 6:30 PM (east coast time) and he showed the tape of Michelle’s comment. This is exactly what she said. “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country.”

I think most of you are being completely unfair for such a small thing. I speak as a foreigner to your country and for the first time in many years (I’m 42) I am starting to gain back some respect for America that I have lost in more recent years – particularly the last 8! Don;t forget she has just mentioned her adult life – not the last 200 years. Sure, there are a lot of great things America has done, and I’m sure she realises this too. But perhaps she is just one of many of you who until recently have been completely disillusioned with your all-seeing, all-spying, autocratic governments who have become so controlling it is hard for a lot of you to see the woods for the trees (eg. giving George Bush a second term!). We made the same mistake in Australia, and the UK made the same mistake.
Trsut me, as an outsider, the sooner you can get fresh, young blood into the white house and get your country back on a track to being the true leaders of the democratic world as we know it, the better off you’ll all be. Don’t you want to gain back the respect from the rest of the world that you deserve!
Don’t be so hard on her in these early days.

America is great. So great that someone who indirectly suggests that they weren’t as proud of their country in the past as they are now is rabidly attacked. But… that’s not so great.

There’s nothing wrong with recognizing that your country isn’t perfect. There’s nothing wrong with being frustrated with aspects of your country. And there’s nothing wrong with having a sense of increased pride in your country when it starts to move forward.

That pride, that comes from understanding, that is real. That is genuine. And it is worth more than blind unthinking patriotism, the patriotism that can take no criticism, the patriotism that spews hate, it’s worth more than that ever will be.

Those of you attacking Michelle Obama for this – you should NOT be proud of yourselves, nor of the America YOU represent. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

..how interesting! Michelle Obama says “for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”.”

Meaning, she used to be proud, but now she’s really proud.

But the clip has “really” clipped out of the audio. Listen, and you can hear the edit:
http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=49244

Note that the text has “really” in it, but the sound has “really” cut out.

Oh my! Who would cut out the word that changes the meaning of the quote … and why would they do it?

I AM NOT PROUD OF AMERICA!!

I Love America but have no illusions about the way we have been on many accounts.

Our current arrogance and self righteousness is astounding!!!!!

We have done a lot of good as well as very idiotic things.

I have no problem admitting this.

We are a very young country with a short memory.

We can do so very much better.

Only with honest self evaluation we can do better.

We have come a long way and we can be proud of this …if you NEED pride to get through your day.

I don’t. to me, pride is narrow.

We have a long way to go before we achieve the greatness we are capable of.

We will achieve this more and more over time.

Have we got it right yet???

Not on your life.

Nice EDITING job – take out the word “REALLY” – first time she is “REALLY” proud of her country – there’s a massive difference – if there weren’t you would have never edited it out. Why was it edited out? Why not play the whole thing, in context if it’s so damning? Need to edit to make YOUR point? I bet my comment gets edited too.

I’m now 60 years old. I’ve watched this country go down the tubes since 1962 – the hands at the wheel, despite the best efforts of many people, have generally been those who want a state of perpetual war, so that they can increase their profits. They have been helped, with a few exceptions, by a bought out media.

I stopped being proud of this country when we stopped supporting democracies and propped up dictators. By allowing corporations and the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower – a Republican – warned us off to dictate both our foreign and domestic policy we have killed the dream of Jefferson, Paine and Franklin. We, the people have allowed the bullies, the hypocrites, the poltroons and the witch hunters to destroy a great idea and what could have been a great country.

This is not the original C-Span audio for the clip, it was EDITED, as many people have pointed out. If you listen closely, you’ll notice the poor editing job in this video. What a shame! Dirty politics.

Unedited version: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ffGpYcTu5GI

Its amazing unarticulated you conservatives really are…You people are all fake and scared. The sad part is most of you live in the middle of America where nothing will ever happen.. You want to be like us but are filed with so much hate and anger. We all feel sorry for you that you just don’t get it. We are the true American. We dissent from what we feel is wrong. Now please go hide with duck tape in your little shacks and leave us to save your ass oh I almost forgot, pick me some corn.

I think this website needs to monitor the postings and not post the ones that are repetitive, racist, derogatory and redundant. You shouldn’t have to winnow your way through all this chaff to get to a kernal of reason. The NYT comments are much better because they screen the postings.

Because Michelle O has a degree, does it mean that she is smarter and better and knows more than the rest of us. Does she really know what it means to be an American? We have a great country with wonderful people in it, that will serve and help each other. We are not perfect! I am 52 years old, I have always been proud of my country. I am worried that the Obamas really dont care about this country, just the power that the presidency will bring them. I dont care what color they are! But someone that wants to be the president of the USA should show respect to our great flag and what it stands for. If it means nothing to him shame on him for trying to become our president!!!!!!

“For the first time in my life I am not proud of America” due to Obama and his wife running for presidency not because they are a black family because they are frightening for America. As evident they are in experience to lead our dying nation and should step down if they really love this country. We need a leader who will lift us out of this situation and please don’t treat this campaign like a rock or movie stars. I believe these four years will either break us or make us. Research before you decide…

I hope for the best for our nation…

You hicks and your asshattery, thank God less than 25% of the country agrees with anything you people have to say. Clearly Michelle Obama is talking about the political process, not the whole country.

Conservatives and liberals all love their country. The difference, cons love it like a 3-year-old whereas liberals have a rational, mature relationship that has room for criticism and disagreement.

America is not a place, it’s an idea.

There is a lot as Americans that we can be proud of. There is also a lot of things we should hang in heads in shame that has been done in our name.

The mouth breathers will do their best to twist this out of context.

Nice editing job on that video too.

Amazing the level of hate contained in the messages above.

My coworker tells me I can not be a Christian and a Liberal. He thinks Christ would like the Gloc 9.

My dictionary says a liberal is open to new behavior or opinions.

I am not good at editing a message, then trashing a person over what the edited message said.

I could never jump on the band wagon of ignorance so many seem to be taking for the free ride.

I am not good at hating, so I guess I could never be a conservative.

Jesus was the most liberal person of his time. His teachings are too liberal for many of the comments I have seen here.

Yes, there are many things to be proud of in this country. Not much lately to make one really proud.

All the hate mongers diminish my pride when I try to explain them to visiting friends.

So all of you who say you were going to vote for Obama until this edited clip came along, don’t think I believe you for a second.

I am ashamed of this comment! LOST MY VOTE!!!!!

I am very comfortable in my shoes. I do not feel the need to declare I am an African American or Caucasion American. I am an American. Anything I have done has been on my own merits. ACT and SAT scores and education. School Loans and Education. Parenthood and Childrens achievements. I have one child in the Army and one in his last year of law school. All of the above has been afforded to me because of the American Way. Work hard and you are rewarded. Wait for someone else to hand it to you and stand at the back of the line. Other countries do not afford you these wonderful opportunities. Also whom I choose to vote for is my business. I will way the knowledge of the delegated candidates and vote accordingly. We have to remain non socialized in order to retain our freedom of speech. Our country is strong enough to survive no matter who is elected, as the president can really do no more than our elected officials will allow. Please do not let the other countries see us as fighting over one persons ill thought out comments.

In response to “wake up usa” What about the Saudi Money that bought George Bush the presidency?

Look what that got us. A war with Iraq. Saddam Hussain had nothing to do with 9-11.

Tonight on Brian Williams’ NBC news, he played the video of Michelle Obama’s comment. Her exact words were, “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country.”

Doesn’t anyone have a problem with the fact that the audio has been edited? It’s clearly visible that she said ‘really’ and they changed it. The headline reads it correctly, however the video is clearly edited. Do think black people were proud of the US in the 60s? I’m a 35 year old male and I often have it that I’m not proud at all of what this countries does. If you think I should leave if I don’t like it, then you’re not any better than the nazis in 1933, the former USSR, east german stasi, etc – all regimes that don’t accept dissent.

Slight glitch my ass. Another example of right wing sleeze. But, guess what, this time it will catch up with you and bite you in the ass.

Not all people are ignorant voters, only the right wing ones who read your crap.

Here, repeat this for me the next time you see Michell Obama…”GOOD MORNING MADAME FIRST LADY”

I cannot believe most of these comments. She said “really proud,” as in for the first time in her life she is really proud that a black man has a serious shot at being president of the United States of America. Remember, this is a country with a troubled history with regard to blacks. So please take her comment in the context of everything that has happened and don’t be so damn simplistic. Maybe I am asking too much.

I have finally found out why some people say Michelle Obama’s speech didn’t have “really” in it and some say it did. She gave two speeches in Wisconsin that day, one in Milwaukee in the morning and the second one in Madison in the afternoon. The tape of the morning speech was not edited. The speech for Madison was amended.
Here’s the info. below that I got from a FOX POLITICS web page.

Michelle Obama Takes Heat for Saying She’s ‘Proud of My Country’ for the First Time
Tuesday, February 19, 2008

Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, is under fire for leaving the impression that she hasn’t been proud of her country until now, when Democrats are beginning to rally around her husband’s campaign.
Speaking in Milwaukee, Wis., on Monday, she said, “People in this country are ready for change and hungry for a different kind of politics and … for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”
Greeted with rousing applause after making the comment in Milwaukee, Obama delivered an amended version of the speech later that day in Madison, Wis.
“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country … not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change,” she said. “I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment.”

“Well let me tell you something”. Why does Mrs. Obama start most of her sentences with this opening? Suppose she went to another country and stated “Well let me tell you something”. Would you be offended, embarrassed. Both she and her husband need to learn to connect the words here before they do it in another county!!

I’ve been thinking about Michelle Obama’s comments in Wisconsin. The first comment in Milwaukee WITHOUT the “really” is how she really feels. The amended comment in Madison that included a “really” was just damage control.

Hi,

As a military wife, this offends me deeply. I am pretty much an independent, and have not voted in Texas yet. This reveling freudian slip made me curious what else is hiding behind the Obamas.

And GUESS WHAT, I found that Mrs. Obama’s thesis at Princeston Univeristy titled: “Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community”
is blocked till Nov. 5, 2008….(after the election)

http://libweb5.princeton.edu/theses/thesesid.asp?ID=9867

tax records are one thing, but as an American voter I have a right to KNOW what the presidential candidate’s wife thinks!

I used to admire Sen. Obama, but no more, I will not be voting for Sen. Obama on March 4th!!!

Thank you.

I bet you that Mrs. McCain has been proud of her husband for decades after serving seeing her husband survive being a POW and fighting for American Freedom!!!!! Shame on her for not being proud until now. Her words speak volumes !!!

Something about Mrs. Obama has been bothering me as I watch the various videos and I now know what it is. She has the dead eyes and lack of affect or even empathy that Anita Hill demonstrated during the Clarence Thomas Senate Judiciary Committee hearings back in 91-92. Real good at tearing things down. I wish I knew how to put pictures of the two wenches side by side, but I’m sure someone else will figure this out and do it!

Greetings,

Michelle Obama has clarified her remarks.

The Associated Press provided her comments. I hope this will settle everyone’s heart and mind.

Michelle Obama Clarifies `proud’ Remark

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The wife of Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama sought Wednesday to clarify her comment that for the first time she’s really proud of her country.

On Monday, Michelle Obama told an audience in Milwaukee that “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, later sought to capitalize on the remark, saying “I have, and always will be, proud of my country.”

Asked by WJAR-TV if she would like to clarify her comment, Obama replied that she has been struck by the number of people going to rallies and watching debates, as well as record voter turnouts.

“What I was clearly talking about was that I’m proud in how Americans are engaging in the political process,” she said.

“For the first time in my lifetime, I’m seeing people rolling up their sleeves in a way that I haven’t seen and really trying to figure this out — and that’s the source of pride that I was talking about,” she added.

When asked if she had always been proud of her country, she replied “absolutely” and said she and her husband would not be where they are now if not for the opportunities of America.

Obama himself gave a similar explanation during an interview Tuesday with WOAI radio in San Antonio, Texas. Expressing frustration that his wife’s remarks had been taken out of context and turned into political fodder, the Illinois senator said, “What she meant was, this is the first time that she’s been proud of the politics of America, because she’s pretty cynical about the political process, and with good reason, and she’s not alone. But she has seen large numbers of people get involved in the process, and she’s encouraged.”

Michelle Obama was campaigning in Rhode Island two weeks before the state’s March 4 primary. She planned a rally later with her brother, Craig Robinson, the coach of the Brown University men’s basketball team.

Three generations of my family have served our country in the military. My father in WW2, his brother killed in that war. My late husband was a Navy vet, as is my son.
These men served so that Americans could have life and liberty. They were proud of their country, I have been saddened the past eight years, but never lost pride in my country. They served so that elitist black people like her could have a Princton education, that was out of financial reach for their own family.
I have not been as upset by a comment since that horrible Barbara Bush said that the people of NOLA were alright in the dome because they were used to living like that.
PIG think is PIG think no matter what color you are. She is no lady, especially first!

Mitch – Don’t you mean Mrs. Obama? Michele Obama is the one who made that comment.

I fipnd it very interesting that cnn has failed to post Obama’s wife’s idiotic comment. I certaninly do not want someone like her as our first lady. We all know if Cindy made a remark such as Obama’s wife the press would be allover her.

Sorry jason, we do not need duct tape to run from your liberals and Winnie Obama ( oooogggggaaaa boooooga). We have 9 mm that fire hollow points, in case the day comes. You now have been warned…..

I posted this same rant 2 days ago and now find that it was removed but some of the other long rants are still posted. I would like to know why. The only rule seems to be no foul language????

Obviously most of the people writing on this blog did not listen to the whole tape. The Clip was obviously doctored. And also very obviously, there are many hate mongers who spew their racist hatred on this blog.

Before you decide that I am not patriotic I will tell you that I am the proud mother of a sailor. He has been to Iraq 5 I will repeat that, 5 (five) times. I proudly fly my Blue Star Mother flag. I fly the Stars and Stripes on special Holidays. I do NOT wear the flag in any form. Wearing the flag does NOT make me a patriot nor does it make anyone else a patriot. My belief in MY country does not depend on my flying or wearing the flag. Every time I hear the National Anthem played tears come to my eyes. I stand at attention I do not place my hand over my heart. I place my hand over my heart when saying the Pledge of Allegiance. My father proudly served in WWII, he volunteered for Korea. My husband is a Viet Nam Veteran with 26 months of service in country. DO NOT CALL ME UNPATRIOTIC.

Yes we do live in a great country. To my great sadness there have been to many times in the past 2-3 decades that I have not been very proud of my country. I love the people, but I am not happy about the government, especially the current occupant of the White House.

We were lied into the war in Iraq. There was no reason for it. We did need to go into Afghanistan. My son was there too.

I am proud of the way We the People stood up to be counted after 9-11. I am also proud of the way we came together after Katrina to help the people in New Orleans. The government response was clearly inadequate. Had the Louisiana National Guard been at home rather than in Iraq they, along with National Guard Units across the country, would have been able to respond. The help of the National Guard would have alleviated much of the suffering of the people. Many of the people were stranded because there was NO transportation. The Guard could have responded IMMEDIATELY to the crisis. To many of you saw only black faces in the news reports. I saw the desperate faces of my race, the HUMAN race in those same reports. I have been to New Orleans to help and I am planning another trip to help.

Now about Michele Obama’s remark. I understand why she said what she said. One person said repeatedly the following “Use your listening skills, people; she says she is now “really” proud of her country. Being “really” proud now, by default means that she was proud before. Use your brains, and stop making snap judgments based on inflammatory headlines.”
I agree wholeheartedly with his statement. I am not always proud of MY country. I weep when I talk to people of other countries and find that we are no longer respected. We once were deservedly respected because of what we did abroad for the people of other countries. Now we are only seen as the aggressor.

I have to say that just having an American of African/Caucasian descent and an American female running for the Presidency is surely something to be proud of. I believe that this qualifies as being a REALLY proud moment. It indicates that we are progressing away from the racism of years past except for the contributors to this blog.

Oh, by the way, I am a white, retired from the VA, Registered Nurse. I see people not the color of their skin.

Eight (8) years of a MORON occupying the Oval Office and all of you IDIOTS have been absolutely SILENT! One African-American candidate’s wife makes a little comment and you go absolutely Nuts… Perhaps if you idiots would have showed the same level of anger and passion towards the current Idiot in the White House, we wouldn’t be in the mess that we are currently in. I hope Obama DOES NOT make it into the White House, only because he just might too GOOD for this Idiot Nation? So, go ahead, all of you Morons. Vote for John McCain… You all DESERVE IT! How many of you Morons are willing to put your kids into a uniform to go over and fight another Republican War?

Why is the word “Really” cut out of the audio?

Well if Michele Obama is not proud of this country, I say feel free to go live in another country. I wont miss you, and John McCain will get my vote.

All you Obama haters need to get used to Michelle Obama, she will be the next first lady. I totally agree with Jeff. 8 years of dumb dumb and all you have to discuss is Michelle Obama. Clearly anyone with half a brain should read and get the full content of what she was speaking about. For the first time in her adult life she is proud (really proud) to be an American because finally people are actively participating. Young people are voting. Hell, i’m older than her and in my adult lifetime, i’m really really really proud to of America!
Change is coming, embrass it! OBAMA 08

Naomi,
Thanks, I thought it was just me. I looked all over CNN yesterday to express my two cents worth on this outrage. Lo and behold I could not find a thing. I was furious.
That made even more furious. The media is plannin a coronation for this guy and it scares me to pieces.

Mrs. Obama, You Owe the American People an Apology

I heard you. You stated that your husband’s candicy is the first time in your lifetime that you have been proud to be an American. For shame!

You were born in 1964.

I recall a southerner, a Texas cracker, Lyndon Baines Johnson standing in the well of the United States Senate addressing a joint session of Congress and one of the largest television audiences ever, and saying loud and clear: “We shall overcome.” I sure was damn proud to be an American that night.

I remember, an assassinated President’s brother, standing on top of a car in the midst of an angry African-American group the night of Dr. King’s assassination, and preaching from his heart non-violence. I sure was damn proud to be an American that night.

I remember a hockey team beating the Soviets. I sure was damn proud to be an American that night.

I remember a President standing at the Berlin Wall, and demanding: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” I sure was damn proud to be an American that night.

I remember, watching transfixed at the television with two young children, watching that wall being torn down and noting that even at their very young age, they understood. I sure was damn proud to be an American that night.

I remember the President at Ground Zero with that firefighter, and a country united to fight terrorism. I sure was damn proud to be an American that night.

Mrs. Obama, you deeply hurt me and you deeply disappointed me. You need to humbly apologize.

http://robertfitzpatrick.blogspot.com / http://www.robertbfitzpatrick.com

Fing “B” Go back to Africa if you love it so much! You do not think America is Great, go to hell! The fing nerve!

tommie you need to use spell check before you post again or are you retarded? after all you agreed with her!

WATCH HIM BLAME THIS ON HILLARY AND MCCAIN!

I’m supposed to believe that an ‘audio glitch’ took out the word ‘really?’

Yeah Right!

What is going on here people.!!! Look beneath the razzle dazzle!!!
Why does a Princeton and Harvard succesful Attorney sudenly needs ten thousand “interpreters” to understand what she said and meant???? THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME A SCRABBLE CONTEST.
Everybody understood it, and, with or without the “really”, I would say “her bad” for not being able to clearly transmit, in her vernacular language, such an important feeling of pride for this country. But at least, in Madison and Milwaukee, she “xeroxed ” her own meditated words, unlke Obama, who borrowed pirated thoughts as his own, letting us believe he’s the Messiah. who wil change the “earth spin “.

I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase “Behind every good man stnads a good woman”. Is this the woman that we what to represent the United States to foreign dipolomats? A woman who has has been ashamed for over 20 years of her country. Not for me – I’d rather vote for Ralph Nadar that to see that happen (and I’m NOT a Nadar fan)

By her statement you can tell Michelle Obama hates America; and and so does Barack. If Obama is elected, you get the package deal, just as we did with Bill and Hillary.

With all of America’s faults, it is still the best place in the world to be, whether one is young, old, poor, rich, healthy or not, etc., etc. Noboby said it had to be perfect, but, it damn near is!

WHat an idiot. She wasn’t proud when Barack got elected Senator? She wasn’t proud of her college or her business? Wow. Go tell the Mexicans or Chinese or Indians or Pakistanis who come over here and make it how bad the USA is. That lady needs a clue.

“Frustrated.” “Sad.” “Alone.” This is how Mrs. Obama feels as an American.

Talk about hope?!?!?!?! Whatever, Obama. Sounds to me like the politics of Chicken Little.

PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT IF THEY VOTE FOR OBAMA THEY’RE VOTING FOR THIS WITCH, TOO, AND SHE’LL DO NO GOOD FOR THE U.S.A. INTERNATIONALLY.
THIS IS “NOT” A NICE PERSON..

Obviously, her comments were extemporaneous and not well-polished. Michelle Obama has no history of anti-American behavior, so it seems ridiculous that this is even an issue. It is merely another example of a public figure misspeaking (we all know there have been many).

If you want to see a true example of anti-American behavior, let us examine the expediency with which the Bush administration mortgaged our financial futures to OPEC and other large petroleum interests.

When Bush and his cronies came into power, the average cost of a gallon of gas was roughly $1.40. Now it is well over $3.00. This is no coincidence. Elect a politician with deep ties to oil barons, and you should expect record gas prices and profits.

What should we be more concerned about: Michelle Obama’s verbal misstep or Bush and his cronies mortgaging our futures to multitrillionaires?

Bush and his croonies??? People are so blinded by their partisan hatred. The divisiveness of partisan blindness accomplishes nothing. These problems started long before Bush. No doubt he played his part. They even started before Clinton. Get real. Look at the record of the bankrupting of America. CFR is where you look because they make all the important decisions for America today. Michelle is a scary lady. The look in her eyes and face betray a hatred and arrogance that is actively nursed by the so called civil rights movement. I believe it is called hating whitey.

I wouldn’t be surprised, given Michelle’s attitudes, to find that she told Barack to get O.J. for V.P.

If you listen to all of Michell Obamma’s speeches, you hear a pattern of anti-American rethoric. She says that she wants a country where people can have hope and people can dream. She wants her children to grow up in a country where there are opportunities for everyone. “WE ARE NOT THERE YET”!!! The negative tone is suttle but ever present. I think she an angry person with a lot of self control. However, even as a Princeton graduate, she managed to put the “proverbial foot” in her mouth! She makes Hillary look like “Tinkerbell”.

i wish people who plain don’t like black people would admit it. its a free country. the cowardice of coming up with contorted reasons to despise obama is pathetic.

i’m happy to state that i find creationists and homophobics dangerously stupid, and i question the ability of religious folks to protect the interests of hellbound heathens and even apply object reason to any problem whatsoever. i vote accordingly because i fear the impact of these people who disgust me.

republican bigots should have the same courage. the aclu defends the klan for good reason, freedom of speech. the fear many conservatives have about saying what they really think is pathetic.

“To all you chauvanistic, jingoistic types: THIS IS NOT the best country on earth” and your a looser and need to leave with the rest of the obama’s!!

Too bad I missed the whole discussion on Michelle Obama’s speech in Milwaukee and later that day in Madison, Wisconsin. I happen to live in Wisconsin. The video being shown in which Michelle states: “For the first time in my adult life I am proud to be an American” was NOT doctored. In Milwaukee that is exactly what she said. She changed her wording in her Madison speech and stated: “For the first time in my adult life I am really proud to be an American.”

To all of her apologist supporters, you can argue all you want over how much the ‘really’ was emphasized in her Madison speech. The fact is, it wasn’t even included in her Milwaukee speech.

No one ‘doctored’ either video; both videos were played on our local TV stations.

Just as, you have to be a complete idiot to believe that the Obama’s would sit on the pews in a church for 20 years listening to pastor/s who are steeped in Black theology where the main emphasis is empowering the Black community and pride in the ‘mother country’ Africa, (with its intrinsic underlying tone that the white man has done and continues to ‘do the black man wrong’ and black victimization at its core) and honestly believe that the Obamas weren’t influenced by Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his rants. No one sits and listens to ’stuff’ they disagree with coming out of the mouth of the ministerial leader for 20 Years – it’s only logical that in such situations, a person would find another church to go to…….what’s the problem…………does that make a bit too much sense for some of you Obama supporters/apologists? But hey, Obama gave a speech the likes we supposedly haven’t heard since Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. so we’ll just believe Obama’s words rather than his actions of 20 years. Personally, I didn’t find anything ‘uplifting’ about the Philadelphia speech. It was full of condescending platitudes and with excuses for Obama’s ’spiritual advisor’ during the course of which Obama orally through his white grandmother under the bus in comparing her fear of being alone on the street/alley way with black men to Wright. Missing from his mention of the grandmother’s fear was the fact that she had in fact been robbed by young black men…………oh, but we wouldn’t want the truth to get in the way of our rhetorical skills now would we???

Realizing that ‘white’ America might take his comments ‘the wrong way’ (meaning not the way in which he would want them to take it not that it wasn’t necessarily exactly what he meant) Obama then goes on to explain his comments about his grandmother that she’s “just a typical white woman.” OMG I can only imagine the hue and cry if Clinton or McCain had made such a comment in referencing one black woman as “just a typical black woman.”

Last weekend at a private fundraiser Obama gave a speech in which he ‘explained’ to his wealthy donors (and I’m paraphrasing here) that ‘they’ the people in small towns, rural Pennsylvania are ‘bitter’ so they Cling to their religion, to their guns and feel anti-pathy towards others who aren’t like them. He made the statement then immediately began to spin it when he realized his words were caught on tape. I can only imagine the hysteria the media and pundits would have splashed all over the news and in their comments if Hillary Clinton or John McCain had made such a condescending statement about small town Pennsylvanians. There would have been a huge outcry of ‘elitism’ and of how Clinton and McCain were ‘out of touch’ with the ‘little man.’ Clinton has the audacity (no pun intended) to state as much in her comments and in a recent ad; and so instead of holding Obama’s feet to the fire, the media/pundits beat up on Clinton for pointing out Obama’s elitist and condescending statement. Meanwhile, the media continues to fawn over Obama. He makes the statement, Clinton gets the shaft.

Unfortunately (if you’re a Democrat or a Democrat-leaning Independent) Hillary Clinton and John McCain are spot on. Between Michelle Obama’s comments about pride in being an American for the first time in her adult life; Obama staunchly defending his Reverand and putting him (the Rev. Wright) in the same category as his white grandmother; (who incidentally was a bank vice-president and basically raised Obama so no, Obama didn’t have an impoverished childhood with a single mother) referencing said grandmother as a ‘typical white woman’ (note he did not say ‘typical older white woman’)and his comments about ’small town’ Americans, Obama has given the Republicans enough fodder to assure yet another Republican victory in November. ‘Small town, bitter folks’ Cling to religion and to their guns……..geez, isn’t that exactly what Republicans have effectively used against Democratic Presidential candidates for much of the last 3 decades???

With the latest gaff, Obama is once again parsing his words, keying in on the religion part of his statement and saying that he meant it in a positive way – when folks don’t have much they look to religion for guidance……….ah, but #1. That’s not how he put it at the fundraiser and #2. If Obama meant it in a ‘positive way’ vis-a-vis ‘clinging to religion’ did he mean it in a positive way vis-a-vis ‘Clinging to their guns?’ NOT, that wouldn’t make any sense given Obama’s own gun laws protection stance.

If Republicans can take a Vietnam War hero and turn him into a strawman who’ll ‘take your guns and bible away from you,’ imagine the field day they’ll have with Barack and Michelle Obama. I don’t condone the Republican attack machine and in fact have despised it every since Lee Atwater and the ‘Willy Horton’ ads of 1988; but I’m not so naive nor foolish enough to think that Republicans are going to give Obama a free pass. Neither will the media and pundits who are currently fawning and slobbering all over Obama……….McCain has been on their shows/broadcasts for years now and they Really Like him too.

And frankly, as a die-hard Democrat since childhood (now middle-aged) if Obama wins the nomination when we know nothing about him and when he’s totally unproven and untested; and uses the race card every chance he gets, I for one will not be voting for the first time in my adult life. I don’t know him, I don’t trust what I don’t know, I sure as heck won’t vote for McCain but if it comes down to it, I’d rather have the devil we know for a President (McCain) than the devil we don’t (Obama).

And I’ve been fighting against racism all of my life so Don’t Tell Me this has anything to do with the color of Obama’s skin (although it obviously does to the 92% black voters in primaries who are voting for Obama) Oh, and BTW, in the majority of the states where Obama has won the primaries, 50% of the voters or more have been black voters…….but there’s no racism in that direction now is there??

The man (Obama)has less experience than George Bush, Jr. for cripes sake and excuse me above posters, but Bill Clinton was a Governor for 12 years, Obama was a State legislator for 8 years and had a whole one year of U.S. Senate experience under his belt before he started running for President. In other words, Obama has NEVER been a top dog before; he’ll be over his head if he wins the general election. Even Ronald Reagan was a former Governor. If all of the Obama supporters would get their heads out of the clouds they’d realize that a vote for Obama is a vote for incompetence. I guess we’re just supposed to trust his judgement because he says so. We all have hopes and dreams but there’s that little nuisance called REALITY. And the reality is, if Hillary Clinton wins the nomination and general election, her husband is a former President of the U.S. The two of them know a little bit about what it takes to actually accomplish something in Washington and in foreign affairs. The country could do a lot worse than the erasing of the deficit, NO WARS and the record economic expansion we experienced under President Clinton.

And finally, how can the Democrats possibly nominate someone (Obama)for the position of President who refuses to agree to a fair accounting of votes and apportionment of Democratic delegates from Michigan Florida. We all know the real reason Obama doesn’t want a ‘do-over’ in Michigan and Florida – Hillary Clinton would beat him hands down in those two states and there’d go his popular vote lead. Wow, will the Republicans have a field day with that one given all the crying and complaining Democrats have done over Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004.

How about a real, general election between two experienced politicans who know how to get the job done. Barak Obama is Not Ready For Prime Time.

IN TEN YEARS LIVING IN U.S.A., I LEARNED TO ADMIRED AND I DEEPLY BELIEVE IN THIS COUNTRY SPIRIT MORE THAN IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY, (AND I HAD LIVED ALL OVER THE WORLD). I’M REALLY SAD THAT AN AMERICAN CAN SAID THAT!!! I HAVE BEING PROUD OF THE QUALITY OF THE HUMAN NATURE SHOWED BY AMERICANS SO MANY TIMES IN ALL THIS YEARS!!DAY BY DAY THERE’IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT SHOWS THAT SPECIAL QUALITY THAT AMERICANS HAS!!! WHO EVER CANT APPRECIATE IT, OR IS BLIND IN FRONT FACTS OR IS IGNORANT IN FRONT OF HISTORY!!
I ALSO BELIEVE…. VERY SMART TO SENT SOMEONE TO UPSET MR. CLINTON, TO DISTRACT THE PUBLIC OPINION, AND MESSUP THIS SITUATION….

well one thing is for sure, i am not proud that most of the posters here are purportedly american citizens. most of you sound like your mother didn’t raise you right. cruel, unthinking, and cerebrally malnourished.

i have heard no reason why the word ‘really’ was wiped from this video, and the one that was mostly sent around the ‘internets’ and was also left out of the print version. makes a lot of difference. i haven’t been very proud of the actions of my government since reagan achieved the presidency. i am proud of all of my friends who speak out against the semi-tyrannical reign of the resident. i am proud of my children, hard-working, low-impact open minded and educated. i am proud of my father, of the ’so-called greatest generation’ and he is proud of me. my mother was, too. that’s about all the pride i think we need.

Please stop with “poor me” you don’t know what its like to be black – - HELLO? Either does Obama foool.

this is ridiculous!

SHAME SHAME SHAME

I am so sick of this.

This is the influence of the church he just “renounced”? This is not what america needs.

Yes I believe SHE is racist and it makes me sick,

Southside of Chicago? Is still CRAP. How many schools are closing? I used to work with kids that had a different teacher every day because they all quit – NO text books, Illinois is the worse shape its been in a long time. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE

He has no clue what its like to be poor and black. Arrogant those two are peas in a pod. No way do I want them in the White House I would rather vote for Mickey Mouse.

Use your listening skills, people; she says she is now “really” proud of her country. Being “really” proud now, by default means that she was proud before. Use your brains, and stop making snap judgments based on inflammatory headlines.

my judgement is not Snap – its never changed that these are arrogant racist people (PERIOD

I do not see anything at all wrong with what Michelle Obama said here. I am proud of many things in America. I have not been proud of my Government for the last 8 years, I was absolutely not proud of my fellow Americans that voted Bush back in as President four years ago after we already saw what he did to our country, but I accepted it, it is part of living in a democracy, but like Michelle Obama, this year I am really proud of my country, to see that skin color or sex does not stand in the way of a presidential candidate, and reaslly hopeful that as a nation with we will be able to change things and will all be able to be proud of our Government again. I want to be able to be really proud of everything that America stands for again, here and abroad.

I’ll give you a common issue, Michelle.
It’s called Nationalism! You and your husband should GET SOME!

Michelle can’t be proud of her country until she is proud of herself. She isn’t proud of herself because she knows deep-down that the reason she and Barack have what they do is affirmative action. Because of the affirmative action prefferential treatment both of them got for everything from college admissions and employment, they undoubtedly doubt their own competence and worth. So since neither of them can be sure they got to where they are without a hand-out from ‘the man’, they are bitter and in a conflict with themselves that is very obvious: from Michelle’s ‘this is the first time I’ve been really proud of my country in my adult life’ to Barack’s comment about biased whites clinging to guns and religion. In fact, Barack’s self-doubt and guilt is probably more pronounced since he’s half white and only half-qualified for the affirmative-action hand-outs and hand-ups he got in the first place.

Mazmob, How ignorant are you? Michelle Obama didn’t say she wasn’t proud of America. Her actual comment has been quoted (and misquoted by FOX news) out of context. How about Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson stating that the attacks on the world trade center (and the ensuing deaths of thousands of innocent Americans) were well-deserved retribution from God?
How can all of you make so much noise about an ambiguous statement by a candidate’s wife, yet overlook such hateful speech from people that W. has said he looks to for moral guidance?

Tell me, what is a First Lady “supposed” to be like?

That this woman can not only see that there are SERIOUS problems in this country, but brave enough to speak out is completely REFRESHING to me.

You people are so full of hate and venom, it’s really really scary.

You are part of what is not to be proud of this country.

Your attitudes are what really brings this country down.

That’s right, I said it!

Is there a difference in saying “ ….for the first time in my adult life , I am proud to be an American……” when compared to “….for the first time in my adult life ,I am REALLY PROUD to be an American…..” . TO BE REALLY PROUD does not diminish pride but adds value and distinction to pride. Michelle is really proud of America. Michelle did not diminish her pride for America. No. Michelle , like all true American’s never said she was not proud of America. No. Michelle ,like all true American’s IS REALLY PROUD OF AMERICA ,always has been from youth to adulthood. But then there was the realisation of the AMERICAN DREAM . THE DREAM BECAME POSSIBLE, AND NOW MICHELLE IS NOT JUST PROUD,No not just proud, but REALLY PROUD OF AMERICA. That is a great statement said by all people that love America and are proud of America and all patriots that love America and are really proud of America. That is like extra proud or more proud on top of proud. That’s okay. All her life she was proud but now she is REALLY PROUD OF AMERICA.
There are degrees of commitment. There are degrees of patriotism. There are degrees of pride. It is good for anyone to qualify their pride for America and distinguish “……..REALLY PROUD OF AMERICA..” from “…proud of America……..” .
MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD START “……….. A REALLY PROUD OF AMERICA MOVEMENT………….” AND CORRECT THE MISCONCEPTION OF CERTAIN SOUNDBITES PLAYED ON CERTAIN MEDIA CHANNELS.
We are only adults once. WE GROW UP , WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN WE SPOKE AS CHILDREN, BUT WHEN WE GROW UP , WE PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS ,LIKE PREJUDICE,LIKE FEAR MONGERING, LIKE PETTY SQUABBLES AND NIT PICKING ON PETTY ISSUES SUCH AS HE SAID SHE SAID HE SAID SHE SAID ETC ETC ETC .With adulthood ,comes maturity. Maturity to face reality ,make the right choices, and be “……… REALLY PROUD OF AMERICA…….”. Errol Smythe

[...] She has reaped so many benefits as a result of living in this wonderful land of opportunity. Her comments made to the contrary in February were a test to see if people would still support the candidacy of someone whose spouse expressed [...]

I can empathize with Michelle OObama when she says for the first time in her adult life she is proud of her country. How can anybody be proud of a country that permits a person [Barack Hussein (the Muslim) Obama] who consorts with criminals and terrorists to be a candidate for president.

I SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED BY HER COMMENT, BUT I’AM. I THINK THEY HAVE TO MUCH MUSLIM IN THEIR BLOOD FOR BARACK TO BE PRESIDENT AND HE IS BEING FUNDED BY THESE OTHER COUNTRIES AND THAT BOTHERS ME AND ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. MICHELLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HER SPEAKING OUT ABOUT GOOD OL’ USA..OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN THROUGH ALOT AND WE STILL HAVE FREEDOM AND ALOT OF COUNTRIES DON’T..

Ask questions, do not follow blindly.

Is there any choice in war policy between the two candidates? is same or more of the same!

Is there ANY DISCUSSION on Economics?

Is there ANY DISCUSSION on Federal reserve ran not by your great USA but by private banks and bailing out corporate mistakes?

Any discussion on criminalizing Bush for his actions in the M.East?

Do we live by our mistakes or do we perpetuate them?

I’m having difficulty understanding why everyone thinks this is such an awful comment. I’m sure Michelle Obama realizes this is a great country – she got a post-secondary education here, and has stayed here to raise a family. Just like a lot of y’all.

When I heard this clip, I took it as an admission that she had never before realized how far we had come as a nation in such a short amount of time. And that made her really proud.

And, by the way, since everyone is bringing it up, I’ve not seen any evidence that Barack is a Muslim. Every place I’ve found who has actually looked into this says that the school he attended was not a madrasa, and his parents were not practicing muslims. And he started attending a christian church before becoming involved in politics. So where do you get this? Did you just hear it once and start repeating it?

Besides, when someone professes their faith and their relationship with God or Jesus Christ, who are you to question their beliefs? Is this the American Inquisition?

I guess I don’t understand why some people believe what they _want_ to be true, instead of trying to figure out what actually _is_ true.

For the first time in our country’s history, an unqualified sociopath may be president!
