No contest. The winner is the one who said: “I have and always will be proud of my country.”

Michelle Obama. Millionaire. Harvard Law grad. Wife of a senator. A person who has been afforded the best of opportunities in that land of opportunity that we call the United States, told a crowd in Milwaukee this: “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.”

Cindy McCain. Also a millionaire. USC educated. Wife of a senator. A person who has been afforded the best of opportunities in that land of opportunity that we call the United States, told a crowd in Brookfield, Wisc.: “I am proud of my country. I don’t know about you? If you heard those words earlier, I am very proud of my country.”

Reporters asked her if she was responding to Mrs. Obama’s statement. Mrs. McCain replied: “I just wanted to make the statement that I have and always will be proud of my country.”

I’m curious, if her husband loses, will Mrs. Obama go back to being ashamed of her country?
