"For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback."
Notice that the world "really" is missing from her first speech.
Cindy has two sons in the military and an ex-POW husband...and Michelle? What has her husband done for the country, other than running around inflicting his empty speeches on it?
The problem wasn’t the difference between proud or really proud. The problem was “For the first time in my adult life”. Leave that part off and the statement in either form (proud or really proud) is perfectly acceptable. Apparently that’s what they don’t understand.

I would bet that Barak took his wife into some remote room and told her a few things. Like “listen you dumb *****, you’re going to cost me the election with your stupid remarks. At least fake being proud of your country”. Her statement might cost Obama two million votes in the general election. If Obama has any brains, he’ll try to muzzle her and keep her offstage.
I do know of one Republican who had Bambi eyes, that did a complete 180 when she heard Michelle say this..
Gave her enough pause to actually take a second look at what Obama really IS.
Interesting.
In the olden days when the liberal big-city newspapers and “big three” networks thoroughly controlled the selection, spin, and dissemination of the daily news, Democrat scumbags like Michelle Obama would have gotten away with this deception just as surely as Dan Rather would have gotten away with his forged National Guard memo.
Thank God those days are gone forever.
And let... the games begin!
This will go well with the photo of Obama refusing to salute the flag, and make a good commercial.
Proud vs really proud. Hmm. Little difference to me. It’s the “for the first time in my adult life...” part that bugged me.
A black gal called Air America this morning (yeah, I listen every now and then) on this topic. The host framed the pride line as not being what Ms. Obama really meant, but the black gal, to his dismay, said it’s exactly how she feels — no pride in America until now with Obama.
