Remember that quote that went something like "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country." Well, this was stated by Michelle Obama and most of the media took it completely into left field with an attempt to convert her words into something extremely catastrophic to the USA and the people who live within. They almost wanted the public to see her as some sort of militant even, when all she was saying is that the USA has done some ugly things and was in the past,resistant to progress and change in areas that it needed such as racism etc, therefore, due to the coming together of all races and many of the things evolving to now from the not so long ago 1970's and before with the inclusion of hope for the future, as an adult she is more proud than she has been before, or in other words, she is the most proud of America today and where it is headed.



Now backing her in a sense is John McCain. Yep. He even said in a quote “I’ll admit to you … that it’s tough in some respects,”. So...John McCain he admits it is truly tough to be proud of America due to the past, thus, in a sense backing Michelle Obama. He went on to say that “What we have to do is tell our friends around the world that we will be proud of America because of what we’re going to do.”

So, even John McCain is more proud of America's hope for the future. Hmmm. So why couldn't the media and many others understand a simple line like that from Michelle? Who knows, but here is the thing. It was John McCain's wife who jumped down hard on the quote made by Michelle earlier during campaigning!

Truth is...it is very easy to see how all Americans can be most proud of America this year. We have seen progress in many areas...from both gender and race.
