“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country”

Quite a statement for a 44 year old American woman

Michelle Obama’s comment is more than a faux pas. And Barack Obama’s attempts to quell the storm surrounding her shameful remarks, simply don’t wash:

He said her newfound pride is about the political system and was not meant to disparage her country…”Statements like this are made and people try to take it out of context and make a great big deal out of it, and that isn’t at all what she meant,” Obama said. “What she meant was, this is the first time that she’s been proud of the politics of America,” he said. “Because she’s pretty cynical about the political process, and with good reason, and she’s not alone. But she has seen large numbers of people get involved in the process, and she’s encouraged.”
