Omar, you say you feel the same way as Michelle. But you just said some very inflammatory things about the nations leaders...Doesnt it say SOMETHING to you that you have the right to say those things? That you havent been jailed for voicing your opinion? I don't think America has failed you, Omar. I think you have failed it.report abuse

America might have its flaws, but in general everyone has a voice and everyone is treated fairly. Too many people blame America because of their own failings, and, unfortunately, there are many people who love nothing more than to cry with them. After all, whats more fun than blaming someone else for your lot in life? Michelle Obama, of course, has the right to say whatever she wishes. Just like I have the right to vote against her husband.report abuse

Michelle spoke the truth - I feel the same way.

Proud of Reagan? Gag me with a spoon. Carter? The same. LBJ - war criminal. Bushes/Clintons - kill anyone, do anything to stay in power.report abuse

think about that statement "for the first time in my life i am proud of my country"

what a disgusting human being. for the first time in a country which has granted this fleabag life, liberty, money, oppurtunity as well as her ridiculous husband a lifetime at the public trough, to say that is amzing. what a louse this lady is. i have always been proud of my country and i have actually worked all my life. i am shocked america is fixing to nominate these pathetic wastes of spacereport abuse
