Election 2008: Michelle Obama didn't seem to think there was anything in her country to be proud of until her husband's presidential campaign took off. Maybe she should drop the politics and open a newspaper or read a blog.
Barack Obama tried to play down his wife's statement, but it's not the sort of remark that can be spun away. To say that "for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country," and trying to justify it as pride in a political campaign, carries a casually stark assumption that there's nothing within this country that's really worth praising.
