Talk about one high maintenance woman.

Now that she's finally proud, can a fall be too far behind?

♣ a seal

Michelle...

Were you proud of this country when the blood sweat and tears of our military and all involved gave the freedom to those in Iraq to raise those purple fingers, to stand in line at risk to their own lives to vote freely in Iraq?

Spolied-rotten ungrateful critters in this country make me ill...most of all they make me ashamed of what they attempt to do to our country.

WOW!

Our next discussion should be: How will the Obama campaign react to the backlash?

Will she apologize?

Will Obama say that what his wife says doesn't matter?

Will he rationalize?

Will she "disappear" for a few days, keeping her head down?

Or will they come out fighting?

Update 1630:

She got the message She Apologized <sarc>

From IMAO:

Michelle Obama Apologizes: My Remarks Were Plagiarized

Posted by RightWingDuck at 01:46 PM

Michelle Obama's comments recently raised eyebrows when she claimed, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.” In a prepared statement, Michelle Obama apologized claiming that her comments, much like her husband's speeches, were plagiarized.

Noel,

Correction:  Thurgood Marshal was the first black Supreme Court Justice.

 Additions:

• Was she proud of her country when we provided massive aid relief (mostly through our military) in the aftermath of the Indonesian Tsunami!
• Was she proud of her country when we helped to end ethnic cleansing in Serbia?
• Was she proud of her country when we won Gold Medals in the Olympics?
• Was she proud of her country when young men and women of their own free will, decide to put on the uniform of one of our armed services to defend her, her family, and our country?
• Is she proud our country when young men and women of their own free will join the Peace Corps?
• Is she proud of our country for the tens of billions of dollars that are freely given to charities worldwide by individual American citizens?

 This list can go on ad finitum Ms Obama!!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Obama, you just did what I thought was impossible. You dear have convinced me to vote for John McCain this election. I was not ever -- that's ever Michelle -- going to vote for him. I'd vote for others on the ballot but not McCain. But ma'am I'm going to vote for McCain because you have demonstrated why I can never vote for a liberal hate America firster like you, your husband or Mr. & Mrs. Clinton.  You don't get America and you obviously, from your comments, never will. Do you realize the sadness in that? No, I guess you don't.

The "audacity of arrogance" these people have. Do they honestly think they can make a thoughless, foot in the mouth remark like this and not have it come back and bite them on the ass? As bad as McLame is it's foolishness like this and the Che flag that is going to doom them in the general election. They can spin it anyway they want this is a clearly exposes them as ready willing and able to play the race card for all its worth. Its not that they are closet communists its that they don't even bother to close the door. I can't wait for someone to ask BO his reaction to Castro stepping down and seeing him squirm attempting to say something that won't be lauditory.

"A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master and deserves one."

Alexander Hamilton

Is it possible for either one of the Obamas to say a complete sentence without using the word "hope" or "change"?

Hitler brought change for the Germans and they fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Notice I am NOT comparing Obama to Hitler.

I am making the analogy that change for the sake of change will often lead to reckless behavior.

 She is not proud of anything  Mark Levin listed, she is a minority and believes she is entitled to all of it and more, I also wonder why the MSM is ignoring the story of her husband's drug use and homosexual encounter with Mr. Sinclair of Wisconsin.

You know what I'm proud of? I'm proud of the fact that the Americans on this blog and in other items on this website have taken the time to so eloquently express how they feel in reaction to Michele Obama's statement. There are some beautifully written comments here. I'm proud of this country, I'm proud of this website and I'm proud of every individual who has taken the time to comment about the dumbest statement made during this Presidential run. For all her Harvard, affirmative action education, she's just proven to other proud Americans that she has no common sense. Hopefully, this statement will be the defining moment of the nomination. I'm from Texas and there are a bunch of Repubilicans that are planning on voting for Hillary just so Obama doesn't win the State primary. We do not have to vote our Party in the primary. I think that's a splendid idea.

I commented on Mark's previous item, but I could not help commenting on this one. Good job, everyone. You are all great Americans.

I, DaBird, will be so proud of this country if the American people see through all the hyperbole and DON'T elect Hussein Obama as president.

Michelle's back-track spin on what she really meant to say http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,331288,00.html (haha) is below the McCain part....

Whenever I see the space shuttle roar off into the sky or glide down from the heavens for a pinpoint landing, I am proud.

Whenever I see the selfless, courageous, heroic acts of our soldiers, I am proud.

Whenever I see the United States rush to the aid of countries in need, as the first and sometimes sole responder, I am proud.

Whenever I see foreigners risk their very lives to reach the shores of our nation for a chance to become Americans, I am proud.

Whenever I see the people of this nation unite against the forces of tyrany and terrorism, I am proud.

Whenever I see the rows upon rows of white crosses marking the final resting places of those who gave their lives so that we may be free, I am proud.

Whenever I see the rejoicing of those freed from the bondage of oppression, whether it be the East Germans after the fall of the Berlin wall, or the people of Kuwait, or the purple fingered citizens of Iraq, I am proud.

Whenever I see the grateful Africans embracing our President for doing more to combat Aids and malaria than any president even thought about doing, I am proud.

Whenever I see truckload after truckload of Christmas shoe boxes being shipped out to poor, forgotten children across the globe, I am proud.

Whenever I see the selfless attitudes that our fire fighters and police officers exhibit during times of crisis, I am proud.

Whenever I see people worshiping God freely without fear of reprisal, I am proud.

There are times however when I am truly ashamed. My shame is not directed toward our great nation, but to those like Michelle Obama, Cindy Sheehan, Sean Penn, etc., who would reap all the benefits our nation has to offer and then proceed to bite the very hand that fed them.

When asked if he went to war with Iraq to derail the impeachment vote: “I don’t think any serious person would believe that any President would do such a thing." - President Clinton (Dec 1998).

I have to admit Noel, and perhaps I was caught off guard, when I heard Michelle Obama's comment about how proud of our country she suddenly was, I connected it to the news of the millions of lives that President Bush is saving in Africa. First thing yesterday morning, Ann Curry of NBC was interviewing the President and First Lady from Africa (I assumed Michelle has a strong emotional connection to Africa - my bold):

Ann Curry – NBC News. Feb. 18, 2008"Even your critics, Mr. [we prefer  Mr. President, Ann] Bush say that you have had the greatest impact on Africa than any President in US history. You have fought for funding and have saved over a million lives, from Malaria and Aids."

If only Bill Clinton had not lead by the polls when he was President. From David Corn ("The Nation" - Washington Editor)Too little, too late - How many times is Bill Clinton going to apologize to Africa?

The prevailing view was, these people should die quietly.

A cynical guess at Clinton's motivations: AIDS in Africa, it doesn’t poll well.

Sometimes ya just gotta love the left wing press

However, I predict that the MSM will somehow go forward blasting Bush, with their major complaint being that PEPFAR requires spending for abstinence at 6.7%  of the total budget (although the press routinely lies and says one-third) and for not allowing the money to be spent on condoms. A contact at State told me yesterday that the Bush initiative has distributed 1.9 billion condoms since 2004.

Further, I predict that the MSM will continue not only to fawn over Bill Clinton's personal ego over his efforts (since he left office) in Africa on the HIV/Aids issue, they will continuing to invite him to assist them in attacking Bush for his efforts.

And further, I predict that the MSM will seldom miss the opportunity to bash Ronald Reagan for not publically saying something about Aids for a few years, back in the early days of this disease. You'll often find it on page one of special reports - isn't that special? 

Any analysis would find that had Clinton, who by time he became president possessed the full understanding of what was happening globally with HIV/Aids, and had the full support of the entire MSM to lead on the issue, had chosen to lead then as (as Bush has done) the pandemic was accelerating out of control, that tens of millions of lives would not have been lost.

As Bob Geldof (Live Aid) said a few years back:

"You'll think I'm off my trolley when I say this, but the Bush administration is the most radical - in a positive sense - in its approach to Africa since Kennedy"

[..] 

Former president Bill Clinton had not helped Africa much, despite his high-profile visits and apparent empathy with the downtrodden, the organiser of Live Aid, claimed. "Clinton was a good guy, but he did fuck all."

I like the way they changed the speech (as indicated in the article) for the second performance of the day from "first time I've been proud" to "first time I've been *really* proud".

Yeah, that's right, lady. You screwed up.

I'm sure the line played well with the Dem base (as is evident from the applause the line got at the rally) but she just induced disgust in the rest of the country.  YES, the people of the US FINALLY have something to be proud of (or *really* proud of): The Political Campaign / Cult of The Great 1/2 Term Senator Barack Obama.

F'ing nauseating. 

This is even worse than Barack's comment about US troops in Afghanistan "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians".

I guess the "Bad, bad America!" mantra works well in the dem party. 

It is far too much a pattern of ignorance for all Americans and those of this world to forget history or to think that the world just happened the day we were born.

Today I saw a headline on Matt Drudge which had someone championing Bush as having done more for Africa than any other American President.
Liberals with grudgingly give credit for this, but for me as a Conservative I ask, WHY IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH DO AMERICANS HAVE TO BE DOING ANYTHING FOR AFRICA IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Of course the immediate claim will be it is racist in that even being stated. I though deal in historical facts. Facts such as most of North Africa is a proven product of Africans invading Europe, robbing and kidnapping coastal peoples, raping them back in Africa and starting an entire new race which are lumped in with "Arabs" now.
There were great numbers of white slaves imported into Africa before the export of blacks BY BLACKS who hunted down the less socially protected and organized and sold them first to Arab traders and then to European traders.

That is what most people focus on in "slavery", by what has become an industry in America for liberal blacks as much as the holocaust has become an industry for profit for liberal Jews.

Theodore Roosevelt wrote quite well on this in his visit to Africa. He noted the porters there would not even build a fire, a shelter or attempt anything but huddling under bushes IF THEY WERE NOT PRODDED AND FORCED TO DO SO.
President Roosevelt basically made the statement that huge sections of Africa were peopled by a people whose main station in life was to be eaten by a crocodile or lion and pooped out.

Americans need to understand that the Zulu, Dinka, Masai or Ugandan Empire which was highly developed and nurtured by the English WERE NEVER ENSLAVED peoples as they had sharp spears and governments to keep their peoples free.
The slave which western slaves came to be from were the peoples these coordinated blacks rounded up and sold to the western powers of the day.

President Roosevelt noted how very advanced though the American black had become due to western influence of education, Christianity and our laws as of 1900 compared to the African still huddled under a bush.
He saw great purpose in colonizing Africa and in several generations they would be able to join the world as civilized nations.

The problem was the cartel of Rothschilds could not have that as civilized peoples would protect raw resources and take wealth from Europe into Africa. So after World War II which was designed to end the nation super state, all of Africa and Asia was cut loose a generation too early and a group of teenagers in mentality were left in control.
These teenagers like Robert Mugabe of Rhodesia soon learned from their Rothschild mentors that they could keep power forever if they simply became communists.

That is what Mandella the great hope of Oprah and most of Africa did with a succession of nation raping thugs like Amin of Uganda.

What colonization had nurtured, these thugs have raped and ruined in 50 years time, butchering both African game and African peoples.
What has not been looted out of Africa in raw resources is looted by the European cartels from the World Bank Funds. That is why Paul Wolfowitz was booted from the World Bank. He was demanding those funds from America go to Africans instead of stolen by thugs and deposited into European banks by the billions.

That is why my purpose is in stating in this toward the Obama, Obamacans and all liberals and Conservatives alike, what on earth does America have to be doing for Africa yet when it is a communist created problem by European elitists so they can rape and plunder those people.

Until the day comes when black Africans American who relish that title start going back to Africa and setting up schools, hospitals and governments they will be elected to to lead these people out of their despot regimes, all of this is money down a pit who has the cartel very much intent on the genocide of the blacks by aids so the cartel can have that entire continent as their playground.

I find it quite disgusting that Bill Clinton and now George Bush go to Africa and act around these people as their "children" to be patted on the head and be made wards of the state.
Africans were intended by President Lincoln to President Theodore Roosevelt to be CITIZENS OF FREE REPUBLICS and not some still enslaved people for photo ops.

It is past time that African Americans and all Americans become educated on the real African history and to implement a sound policy to have these people put on the path to world partners in trade.

and the next time someone like Paul Wolfowitz stands up and attempts to stop the enslavement of Africa have a President, Congress and black leaders back him instead of cutting him off at the knees.

Thanks for your time.......and Michelle Obama I hope you are listening as America is not the problem and never has been.

While most of us who truly love this country, along with the freedoms we enjoy, found Michelle Obama's comments rather offensive, we need to realize something.

Her comment probably went right over the heads of the over-whelming majority of those who are supporting her husband in this election. Among the Obama supporters who actually did "get it" it will have little or no affect on their support for the man, as they probably agree with her sentiments.

As for the Obama supporters who didn't "get it," they too will probably agree with it once someone actually explains it to them.

We need to recognize that the people the Obama campaign are targeting are, for the most part, not people who you would consider all that productive. They are the societal leaches among us who, if not turned around soon, are going to bleed this country to death.

And they could not care less what their benefactor, or his wife, thinks about this country.

A panel on MS-NBC is dicussing the Michelle Obama comment and all panel moderator Nora McDonnell wants to talk about "Why is Cindy McCain ATTACKING Michelle Obama?"

Cindy McCain simply says she's proud and has always been proud of her country and gets criticized by the idiots at MS-NBC.

Unbelievable.

I agree with him 100%! This is proof of what you get with the liberals. This hard core hatred of the United States by the far-left is frightening.

Hey Noel, add this to the blog:

Was she proud of this country when we had put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon?

Was she proud of this country when we put the Taliban out of power in Afganistan?

Was she proud of this country when we stopped the Regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq?

Was she proud of this country when we went back to Space after we lost Space Shuttles Challenger and Columbia?

Was she proud of this country when Clarence Thomas was put into the Supreme Court?

You were born in 1964, Mrs Obama.  Adult life started around 1978 and until now, you've never been really proud of America?  Interesting, so why now?  Because a black man is running for president?  Or because a woman is?  Either way, who cares.  If they're the best PERSON for the job, great.  When did gender or color become an accomplishment or an ability?  Who cares if they're black or a woman or a man or white or whatever.  Why proud now?  Because this candidate is your husband?  Or because he's campaigned on words like change and hope, but little more than that and "inspiring" speeches, while people fall to touch the hem of his garment as if it's the second coming of Jesus?  Since 1978, 30 years, never been really proud of America, but proud of it now for zero apparent reason other than it makes a good speech for those who don't actually hear what you're saying.  Interesting.
