Brookfield, WI — During her introduction of Sen. John McCain at a rally Tuesday, his wife Cindy responded to controversial comments made by another 2008 spouse yesterday.

“I am proud of my country. I don’t know about you? If you heard those words earlier, I am very proud of my country,” Mrs. McCain said while revving up the crowd and introducing her husband.

When asked at a media availability afterward if they were responding to Michelle Obama’s comments that this election was the “first time” she was “really proud” of the U.S., Sen. McCain deferred to his wife–who reiterated her previous words.

“I just wanted to make the statement that I have and always will be proud of my country,” McCain said.

“Time for Bill to speak up.”

Bill has the baggage of going around the world criticizing the US, so all he can do regarding Mrs. Obama’s quote is bite his lip and nod knowingly and sympathetically.

She never said “really” according to MSNBC. Some in the media tried to insert “really” to show that it’s just now bigger proud than ever.

So are we Cindy, and we’re getting sick and tired of being told we have to surrender it to illegal immigrants and the concepts of freebies, phone trees and the horrendous crimes they commit.

Not at all surprising, since her husband is a closet communist and Muslim, and, possibly, something else; only the Larry Sinclair polygraph will give us an idea. See:

“Bill has the baggage of going around the world criticizing the US, so all he can do regarding Mrs. Obama’s quote is bite his lip and nod knowingly and sympathetically.”

And while Bubba is noddind knowingly and sympathetically, he is adding “I’d tap that&rdquo with regards to Michelle Obama.

But her husband the Great Compromiser, the Aisle Crosser Non-Pareil will be on TV tonight saying that “Barack Obama would make a fine Commander in Chief. I respect him very much.”

Liberals have situational ethics, and, as Michelle Obama’s shown, they have situational patriotism. It’s all about party for them. That’s why they can undermine our nation during a war.

Really or not, doesn't make a difference.

Because if she was't "really" proud of America until now, then she must have been pretend proud before.

I think there's a rule about posting in threads about decent looking women, and I don't think it allows for pictures of Obama...
