Sorry, John, but this isn't simply a case of "poison-mean word-twisters." A woman with Michelle Obama's academic resume ought to be a lot more adept at phrasing and a lot quicker with her explanations. I certainly don't believe that Ms. Obama has never before in her adult life been proud of her country. The very idea is silly. However, that particular utterance was a genuine gaffe on her part and she should have owned up to it, and done so immediately. By not doing so, she lobbed a very slow pitch right down the middle of the plate of the people looking for something to hit.
