Michelle Obama has hated America for over 40 years?

And Drew which country do you live in that you are so proud of? What bastion of freedom and democracy do you call home? What melting pot of cultures, ideas and reason are you a participating citizen of?

Talk about blowing things out of proportion!

Here's what she really said..

"for the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country."

For the first time in her ADULT life, which means what? Since the 80's?


"...first time...REALLY proud..."

So she has been proud of her country since the 80's, but now she is REALLY proud.

What's the problem?

he problem is, she's not a bile spilling Republican.

I think that many of us have overreacted to Michelle's remark. What I have learned from it, is not that she is un-American, but that she is probably "not ready for prime time". No savvy politician's wife would have come out with a remark like that.

My god.
Talk about over thinking a statement.

She is really proud at ONE moment, but people think they can then tear her apart for not showing that ever arrogant, mindless " I love america all the time" behavior?



I love where I live.
I am fortunate to live here and not in southern Africa , or south America, or any other place for that matter for many reasons, but that does not mean I am proud of what AMERICANS do or what the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT does.

but I guess that makes me anti-american huh?
Kinda like Michelle..

jeezee.. I have to throw in another one for good measure ...

It's a breath of fresh air to have a real person then, isn't it?

Only because she'll fear being raked over the coals just like this. And you know what? I don't think she cares a whole lot about that. She appears to be a straightforward woman who doesn't have time or the patience to play the usual games.
I agree Parados. How refreshing indeed.

Personally I can understand where she was coming from being a black woman in America and being there to see all the support her husband is getting from people off all races. It is something new to be proud of and we don't have a lot to proud of when it comes to racial issues in America in our past; they have had to fight for every single 'liberty' they now enjoy. When America used to say the 'land of the free' it didn't mean everybody was free to enjoy all the freedom that white men enjoyed until the civil rights movement; and now it seems we are witnessing the last hold over of prejudices fading away. It is a proud moment in America.

You need to lay of the Koolaid.

It's really as simple as that. So many people never dreamed they'd see this in their/our lifetime. And it's a remarkable event but no one should think that when Obama is elected, it will signal the end of racism in this country.

But it will signal to the world that we're damn sure moving in the right direction, and it will be a very proud day in America. For ALL Americans.

No! She's a Daley-machine clone...all the way...
even her deceased father rode the MACHINE straight to the Bank.

Jumping the gun?

And you sound about as sad and pathetically desperate as Hillary & Co. You poor thing...

The Real Barack Obama

Michelle Obama's comment that, for the first time in her adult life, she feels proud of America helps crystallize who Barack Obama is.

To be sure, the wife of a candidate is perfectly free to have views that are distinct from her husband's. But on a matter that is so fundamental to one's being as love of country, it is difficult to imagine that Michelle Obama would publicly twice make such a statement suggesting disdain for America unless she felt it comported with her husband's views.

Equally important, her statement aligns perfectly with the hate-America views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's minister, friend, and sounding board for more than two decades. On the Sunday following 9/11, Wright characterized the terrorist attacks as a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later, Wright suggested that the attacks were retribution for America's racism.

"In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01," Wright wrote in his church magazine Trumpet. "White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ?'disappeared' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns."

Wright has been a key supporter of Louis Farrakhan, and in December, honored the Nation of Islam leader for lifetime achievement, saying he "truly epitomize[s] greatness."

Farrakhan has repeatedly made hate-filled statements targeting Jews, whites, America, and homosexuals.

Those who think two of the closest people to Obama could publicly make anti-America statements unless Obama himself felt that way, are fooling themselves. To date, Obama has proven himself to be nothing more than a great orator, rendering the statements of those around him even more important in illuminating his true character and agenda. During his Senate career, he skipped 17 percent of the votes and sponsored only one bill that became law. That bill was to promote "relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo."

Bereft of official accomplishments, Obama has distinguished himself mainly by being against measures that protect American security, such as finishing the mission in Iraq. If we were to leave Iraq quickly, as Obama vows he would do, it would become a launch pad for al-Qaida attacks on the U.S.

Obama avoided voting on extending the Protect America Act, thus putting America at risk when immediate interception of terrorist communications is required. Last August, Obama voted against a measure that would have allowed the U.S. to continue to monitor overseas conversations of terrorists like Osama bin Laden without first obtaining a warrant.

If his radical vote had prevailed, bin Laden would have been given the same rights as Americans.

To this day, Obama has not distanced himself from most of Rev. Wright's comments. In a statement supposedly issued to address the matter, Obama ignored the point that his minister and friend had spoken adoringly of Farrakhan and that Wright's church was behind the award to the Nation of Islam leader. Instead, as outlined in a Jan. 17 Newsmax article, he disingenuously claimed he thought the magazine bestowed the award on Farrakhan for his efforts to rehabilitate ex-prisoners.


Neither Wright's encomiums about Farrakhan nor the Trumpet article mentions ex-prisoners.


Similarly, after John McCain's wife Cindy responded to Michelle Obama's remarks by telling a Wisconsin rally, "I have, and always will be, proud of my country," Barack Obama told a radio interviewer that his wife did not say what people think she said. He then proceeded to rewrite her comments, claiming that she had meant she was encouraged by the "large numbers of people" who have gotten involved in the political process. Michelle Obama then made a similar revision of her remarks.

In her speech in Milwaukee, Michelle Obama said flatly, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am ... proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."

And what has been wrong with America up to now? That it gave Michelle the opportunity to attend Princeton and Harvard Law School? That it gave Barack Obama the chance to attend Harvard and Harvard Law School and become a U.S. senator making more than $1 million a year from book royalties?

Was it that America stopped Nazi Germany from continuing to murder millions of Jews? That America has provided Africa and other countries with $15 billion to combat the spread of AIDS/HIV and that another $30 billion is on the way? That 46 percent of all Americans classified by the Census Bureau as poor own their own homes, 76 percent of them have air conditioning, and 75 percent of them have at least one car? Or that America allows us to express our views freely without fear of being put in jail, as is the case in Russia?

A lawyer, Michelle Obama is perfectly capable of expressing herself precisely. In fact, she spoke from a written speech.

Those who do not want to believe she meant what she said ?- and that Barack Obama could not be so close to Rev. Wright if he did not himself believe in much of what he has said ?- are in denial.

The real Barack Obama is starting to emerge, and for those of us who are grateful to America for everything it represents, it is not a pretty sight.

That is ok DD, I can feel your own personal pain and shame thought I cannot myself relate to it.

I will bear in mind that Miller and Rex are proud of torture and killing children.

Those are your words not mine, but cast the speck out of our country's eye and forget the beam in your own the sociopath that you are. I don't expect much more from such ignorance and hatred of the American spirit. You are unworthy to grace the hallowed soil of this land of the free.

I would hate to be "Drew"... And which country in the world is this "perfect" model of righteousness as YOU say the greatest country of the world is something to be ASHAMED of?

I am not ashamed of my county but I am ashamed of you and your anarchist ilk. The sooner you leave the better off this country will be. It is the rank lawless LIBERALS that have perpetuated the "crimes" that have weakened the moral fiber of this country.

Since when did Jesus Christ ascribe to torture and killing? America being the most "Christian" country in the world! But the progressives are anti-Christ they are the Jesus railers, torturers and killers afraid of manger scenes and deceive others as wolves dressed in sheep's clothing. I am ashamed of them and YOU!

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;

Comment: I am ashamed of the liberal gospel of the anti-Christ "progressives"!

What was it Obama was going to do for my soul?

And DrewDad you could yourself join your friends and drink some Kool-Aid with that Jim Jones San Francisco style gospel of the liberal progressives.
