She's right - Michelle
Michelle Obama Explained Her Remarks, Saying That Her Pride Was In The Political Process And That She Was "Absolutely" Always Proud Of America. The New York Times reported, "Asked today to clarify the remark by a local news station in Rhode Island, which holds its primary during the next round, on March 4, she said,
'What I was clearly talking about was that I'm proud in how Americans are engaging in the political process,' according to the Associated Press. 'For the first time in my lifetime, I'm seeing people rolling up their sleeves in a way that I haven't seen and really trying to figure this out -- and that's the source of pride that I was talking about.'

She added that she has 'absolutely' always felt proud of her country and that she and her husband owed where they are today to America's possibilities."

it the first time.

But , even this will not be understood.
By the way, she was not speaking of "assassination" she was speaking about something that could clearly be understood.

4. NO. This was on March 4, she said this.
The other poster was giving me a heads up on the news.
