In an eerie echo of his wife's remarks about not being proud of America for most of her adult life, now Barack Obama himself has said that Americans cannot be proud of their country, and that he is working to change it so they can. He gives as an example, a young girl travelling abroad.

See the video at http://hotair.com/archives/2008/03/05/quote-of-the-day-220/ .

Once might be taken for an inadvertent slip, though Princeton graduates with Harvard law degrees speaking for public consumption are not given to making such astonishing "gaffes".

But now twice, from the same family?

A pattern seems to be emerging from the Obama camp. And it isn't pretty.

I missed it live, but something seems to be missing from the video to make the leap you did.

Well, or it could be this: He feels that the current admin has cast a blemish on the good name of America (like it actually has, according to the 71% who disapprove of Bush, or the 84% who disapprove of Congress right now. there's also the absence of allies we've created.), and is trying to clean away that blemish.

If you don't purposely go out of your way to misinterpret candidates' quotes, you usually find that they're saying something meaningful, not attacking america. I mean this for both sides, stop doing it, it is a weak, cowardly argument predicated upon fear-mongering.

did he say proud of the country, or be proud of it again? (can't watch the video just yet)

He didn't actually say that Americans can't be proud, but it sure is hell was what he inferred. By suggesting that a girl travelling abroad is ashamed to say she is an American he is inferring thats the case for all Americans. Typical shitbag liberal talk about our standing in the 'international community'.

Fuck 'em both, I'm proud of America. To quote Randy Newman, we may not be perfect, but Heaven knows we try.

The world doesn't hate America. The left does. And why worry about them?

horseshit, both sides are just as guilty on mudslinging each other, one doesn't prove or disprove the other. Using a thread I'm already debating you in to prove a warping of words is just sad.
