To be fair, her "adult life is 26" years.

This spans both republican presidents, and democratic presidents. This has spanned republican legislatures and democratic legislatures.

We have minorites put onto our highest court and get elected or appointed to some of the highest points of the government.

We have given uncounted amounts of aid over those 3 decades of her adult life to people abroad and within this country.

We have stood up to a number of oppressive regimes and worked against a number of genocidal movements.

We have helped as a country in the fight agaisnt aids and poverty the world over.

These are just a few of the more "non-partisan" things off the top of my head, in very broad strokes.

I do not doubt that her comment was mostly one inspired for political reasons to further highlight her own husband. I don't doubt it was a great deal of hyperbole. I also would question how you can believe thought that someone who has lived 26 years of her adult life willingly within the United States honestly could not be proud of her country, be it the government of the country as a whole, in some way shape or form during that 26 years.

We need to get our arabic translators from the 56th and 57th states out of Iraq and into Afghanistan where their translation services are truly needed. Thank god we have a guy that can talk pretty now, since that naturally means he's intelligent.
