My understanding of this is that she used the word "really" in one speech, as in really proud, but accidentally left it out in another speech. And if there is an obvious context for her remarks, i.e. how happy she is to see a much higher level of participation in the political process this year than she has ever seen, then any criticism of her for saying this is unnecessarily harsh and puritanical. Not to ignore the fact that African-Americans have a much different history and contemporary experience in this society than white people do, but to me it is obvious that she was not referring to the overall history of this country but rather the fact that so many more people are participating in the political process this year than they used to. So to criticize her for this is to deliberately ignore the context in which she said it. I also don't buy the silly notion that just because she went to an Ivy League school, she is somehow more perfect than the rest of us and is immune to mis-speaking, and therefore must have meant exactly what she said, in the worst possible way that you can read into it. I don't care if you're a high school dropout or an Ivy League graduate, your words won't always come out right. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt on this, just as we give McCain the benefit of the doubt when he says he will "veto all beers". :) How much of a cheapskate do you have to be to not be willing to give Michelle Obama the benefit of the doubt regarding her "proud for the first time in my adult life" comment?

Only a fool would believe the Obamas' message is anything more than a political ploy to get more votes. All his photo-ops (crying coed, riding a bicycle, shoveling sand, blowing his nose, etc) cannot change my mind: he is a phony, an inexperienced, do-nothing, say whatever for a vote phony. Nothing she can say will change who she is: bitter racist. I may not like John McCain's policies but I trust him to do what is right and work with a Democratic Congress. I see no reason to believe Obama will work with anyone unless he believes it is to his political advantage. Convince me I am wrong, but it will take more than a million photo-ops.
