Michelle wasn't proud when President Clinton named the first woman Attorney General, Surgeon General (also Black) and Secretary of State? When Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act? When Clinton vetoed the Partial Birth Abortion bill?
And easy pickings for McCain as well in the debates...
Michelle wasn't proud when President Reagan called for the USSR to "tear down this wall"? When the first Space Shuttle left the pad? When the Olympic Hockey team shocked the world in 1984?
What America does she live in? Inquiring minds want to know. And if political operatives are smart, they will pepper her and Barry with questions about it, because I assure you they will eventually snap.
Her statement will result in a great deal of healthy introspection in this country.
