Michelle Obama is Proud and Patriotic

Posted Feb. 19, 2008 – On Monday, while delivering a speech in Madison, Wisconsin, Michelle Obama made the following statement:
“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction. And just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment I’ve seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic, common issues and it’s made me proud.”
Pundit and political watchers have gone crazy analyzing her comment, asking has she never been “proud” of her country?
In all fairness to the 44 year-old spouse of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama (D), she wasn’t “dissing” America, or the American people. She’s was speaking as a proud wife, not a seasoned politician. I saw someone genuinely touched by the response of the American people to her husband
.
I’ve met Michelle Obama and recently interviewed her about the trials and tribulations of a political campaign. Born and raised on the Southside of Chicago she told me like most Americans from working class families, sometimes “hope” is all you have.
“It is not fairytale or fantasy, it is absolutely real, but hope is also not naïve, and its not passive, so what I tell people and what Barack tells people is that reaching these dreams require a whole lot of work, being able to have somebody like Barack Obama as our president is going to require a whole lot of work and sacrifice. It doesn’t happen just because we wish it so, and it’s not something that we would fear or be cynical about. It’s something that we can achieve if it’s something we believe we can do,” she said.
If you hear all of her comments in the Wisconsin speech, she went on to say, “Life for regular folks has gotten worse over the course of my lifetime, through Republican and Democratic administrations.”
The interview with Michelle Obama will be posted on bet.com later this week.
Do you think she was dissing or praising America?
