Now pay attention

I am not sure what it means to "be proud of one's country" and therefore I was not outraged by Michelle Obama's statement the other day*. However, after watching this 60 Minutes piece I do know what it means to be ashamed of one's country. The unfortunate woman who "doesn't like to ask" for charity in order to have basic medical needs met I can only say - you shouldn't have to!

Welcome to the Third World America. I hope you enjoy your stay.

*It should be noted that there was nothing in Ms. Obama's statement that could outrage someone who does understand what it means to "be proud of one's country" but that is another matter.
