It's funny no one, nor the article pointed out that aside from what "type" of person Michelle Obama is, that comment that obviously implies that she was not proud of her country before now is one of the most stupid things any politician could say, especially when concerning a presidential race. Obviously there's the sheer patriotism that she insulted in so many people, but even if this weren't a uberpatriotic country (which I guess most are, in the end), she was writing off so many people who have worked for change since the U.S. began (and before), or even people who just work there ass off cause that's the only option they have and they wanna support themselves and loved ones. Not that I see pride in itself as anything but creepy, but beside that one can see the comment for what it is. Anyways, I don't think Obama will win (there's still plenty of racism, no point in pretending like there isn't, just like homophobia lost the last one for Kerry), and comments like that make definitely don't help , but who cares cause he's just another wanker like all the rest.
