First and foremost, Michelle Obama's quote is:

For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country.

"Really" being the operative word. But mainstream media, led by all our friends over at Fox News, have had a field day dropping the "really" and raking Michelle over the coals.

Well, now it looks like McCain has an easily misconstrued quote of his own, one that he made in an interview with Fox's own Sean Hannity. I agree with Dan Abrams, the quote is not one to judged. But shouldn't this "blunt the attacks on Michelle Obama?"

Digg!
