Spence, is this a fact, or not? In Spenceworld, can something not be considered a fact if it makes Michelle Obama look like the azzhole she is?
It's a fact when you take her quote out of context. She went on to add that what she was feeling proud about was people uniting around a common cause. She did this twice, in scripted speeches.

I didn't take anything out of context. If her intended context was what you claim, than she should have said what you claim she meant to say.
So she was saying that Americans, prior to the summer of 2008, have never "united around a common cause"? No??
Spence - to reiterate...I did not take Michelle's line out of context...I simply failed to state her reason for not being proud of America until 2008. But you stated her reason, and I'm sure you're correct...in the mind of Michelle Obama, Americans had never united around a common cause in way that was worthy of her pride. That is why she wasn't proud of America.
The question then is, does she have a valid point, or is she a greedy, hate-mongering, race-baiter?
America has done a lot to be proud of...we have free elctions every year...we saved the world in 1942. we are a beacon of light to people everywhere who want to be free...we are the most generous nation in the history of the planet. And speaking for Michelle Obama, America didn't treat her all that poorly - Ivy League education, jobs on a hospital board paying hundrds of thousands of dollars a year.
She wasn't proud of any of that. None of that mattered until we coronated her husband as king and deity.
Thank you for showing me the reason you're going back on my ignore list.
As an ex-gi you should be ashamed of your own vitriol
It's precisely because I was a GI that I refuse to ignore (or celebrate) the kind of hate that Michele Obama spews. Her hate is ignored (or celebrated) because she is pretty, black, and eloquent.
When I was a GI, I lost 2 kids under my command, in combat. One was 19 years old, 1 was 20 years old. Both of them should have been spending weekends on the beach, chasing girls, dreaming of the wonderous possibioities of their futures. Instead, they volunteered to serve in the most difficult, dangerous branch of the military. They made this choice knowing what could happen, knowing that they were likely to fight in places that they never heard of when they were kids.
Regardless of what you think of the mission in Iraq, what they did was heroic. Yet Michelle Obama, our repugnant First Lady, literally spits on their graves when she says that she was not proud of the fact that her country has produced hundreds of thousands of Americans (millions of similar heroic Americans in our proud history) ready to make that sacrifice. Nope. She did not recognize THAT sacrifice as Americans rallying around a worthy cause. To her, the only worthy cause, the only thing worthy of her pride, was bestowing royalty, or heavenly, status on her husband. Up until that point, nothing that America had ever done was worthy of her pride. Those are her words, not mine.
She was not proud of anything America has ever done? We are the bravest, most generous, most selfless country in the history of the planet Earth. While we are obviously far from perfect, no nation has done nearly as much to be proud of.
She's a grotesque, spoiled, hate-filled, ungrateful race-baiter. Not one person who sits in Rev Wright's church (week in, week out) can possibly be described any other way. It's just not possible. Anyone who is a deep, genuine believer of a religion called "Black Liberation Theology" is deranged.
Jim...please correct me if I am wrong....U R a Marine I do believe... not a G I (drafted.. Government Inductee) that is what the initials have ment...not bashing the other branches of the military.

Once a Marine.. always a Marine.

I was a Marine...I was just responding in context, and didn't bother to point out the inconsistency...
