That's wrong. And I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that's how she really feels -- that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever -- then that's legit. We'll track it down.
So, a woman who is a friend of Tiger Woods gets suspended for saying "lynch him in a back alley''. Wonder what will happen to O'Reilly?
What michelle Obama said I believe is a non- issue. 'Really'proud, does not mean she does not love her country it simply implies that one thing stands out the most for 'her' in her life. Am I to believe that that because my love for my country means I should always be proud of it.
This is a potential first lady that seem to really care and understand that though she is harvard educated and succesful, seem to 'really' care about all those other person that may not be able to accommplish what she has acommplished in her life.
Honestly, where we proud when hurricane Katrine hit the Gulf coast in 2005. We we truly proud when our infrastructor fail us and bridges fall done, this is America these things should not be happening
Consider this,would we blame a holocust survivor if he or she should say I love my counrty but was not proud of it in the time of Nazi Germany.
Could someone really blame the people on Darfur if they say they are not proud of their counrty.
Love for one's country does not always equate to a feeling of pride when so many people still struggle, just the same way a mother would unconditionally love a child that does not always do the right things.
