A montage here of the Obamas bashing America, in their own words........
OBAMA: They get bitter. They cling to guns or religion or antipathy towards people who aren't like them.
MICHELLE OBAMA: Barack knows there's a hole in our soul.
OBAMA: I know my country has not perfected itself.
MICHELLE OBAMA: It's easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your ignorance. That's America.
OBAMA: We're confronting the history and stain of slavery in this country. We're confronting those scars.
MICHELLE OBAMA: For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country.
OBAMA: America, uh, is -- is no longer, uh, what it -- it could be, what it once was.

Here's an exchange that Michelle had with an unidentified seven-year-old boy (Michelle Obama asked a second grade class if there were any messages that they wanted her to pass on to her husband).
MICHELLE: What do you think?
LITTLE BOY: Well, I think that we should finish what we started in Iraq.
MICHELLE OBAMA: (pause) "Finish what we started in I-raq." Okay, I will pass that along.

Now, how cool was that!
