Not Proud of your Country?!?!?!?

First of all, I am glad to be back in the saddle. I took a few days off with my beautiful wife of over 30 years to go and spend some down time. We went to Orlando and spent a day at Universal and relaxed the remainder of the time. Hats off to Universal for having a park that a couple of ** year olds could have a wonderful day and play without feeling like we were going to have an attack.

I get to come home and spend Monday getting my feet back under me at work. Today, I finally have time to pay some attention to the world around me, and what am I faced with? A potential first lady, Ivy League educated, earning in the 6 figures, talking about how she has never been proud of her country as an adult until now. Now, according to her statement, that seems to be that "people are hungry for change". Now I really do believe she didn't mean exactly what she said. I mean, she is a Harvard educated lawyer. You don't graduate from Harvard Law School unless you know EXACTLY WHAT THE MEANING OF YOUR WORDS ARE! Did I just contradict myself? No, I didn't, and that is the point. Mrs. Obama knew what she said. She knew exactly what she said.

I am so sorry that our "sorry" nation of ours hasn't lived up to her expectations. After all, she had the opportunity to attend one of the top law schools in the world. She had opportunity to go wherever she wanted after she graduated to practice her profession. She had opportunity to do so as not only a minority but as a woman! If you look real hard at the nations of this world, we are the ONLY country that has successfully integrated over its history not just one or two, but several races and cultures in this tumultuous melting pot known as the United States of America. All other countries fight against this mixing of difference. Although the U.S. may not at times seem to embrace it, it is the only country that DOES it.

And for that reason alone, Michelle Obama needs to be proud of her country. And also for that reason alone, she needs to apologize to the citizens of this country; the United States of America.
