McCain agrees w/ Michelle Obama on "proud"
Apparently John McCain has some empathy with Michelle Obama. Either that or he just inexplicably decided to give the Obama campaign a lifeline on the one line of attack that they've been able to get traction with on Michelle, and thru her, her husband re: 'patriotism'.

And, it happened all because some a**hole was trying to take a shot at Mrs. Obama at a McCain townhall and 'grampa' didn't get it. Serve's 'em both right.

I wonder if this will make all the network evening newscasts and be on an all day loop on the cable channels? Yea...I won't hold my breath either.

.........................................................

From Huffington Post and Politco.com:

So a man finally got a question into McCain and he had a very different sort of question. The questioner noted that he had been educated at Princeton and Harvard and made more than $300,000 a year. "How can I be proud of my country?" he asked....

"I'll admit to you that it's tough, it's tough in some respects," McCain said, seeming to lend credence to Michelle Obama's observation. McCain said America needed to be "more humble, more inclusive."

1. if people were really honest they'd have nothing to
hold against Michelle regardless.
She was speaking about her own feelings and speaking positivly about America-

Blind adoration of a 'country' is not healthy for anyone, most of all the country itself.

And I'm glad Mccain stumbled into the truth while trying to pander for votes-

peace~
