Technically she didn't actually say she had never been proud of the United 
States, HOWEVER, she did say, and I quote the exact words, not once but 
twice! "For the FIRST TIME I am really proud of my country . . ." and  in 
another speech, "For the FIRST TIME I am proud of my country."

O.K., so she didn't actually say "I have not been proud of my country," but 
it is very clear by saying "for the FIRST TIME" that she hasn't been proud 
of the U.S. before.

AND, since her pride is based on race, perhaps she would be better served to 
have been proud a few years ago when the whole country was all for running 
Colin Powell.  *He* choose not to run and was asked again to run in this 
election by both Dems and Republicans!  A much better "person" all around 
than her husband!
