Rep. Jack Kingston, a conservative Savannah Republican, made his eighth appearance on the ultra-liberal HBO talk show “Real Time with Bill Maher” last Friday and wondered aloud whether Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, even like America.

Michelle Obama last week sparked conservative charges that she’s unpatriotic when she said she her husband’s progress as the first viable African-American presidential candidate made her proud of America for the first time in her adult life.

“The thing she did not do and still has not done for three days is to explain what she meant,” Kingston said on the show. “It would have been that simple just to say, ‘You know, this is a great country and I’m just proud that people are getting involved in this election.’ That would have been the end of it.”

What made it worse, Kingston added, was the fact that Barack Obama himself also may not love the nation he wants to lead.

HOW DID WE GET OURSELVES IN THIS POSITION?

Maybe she meant she is proud that her husband is the first African-American person to run for president. She just didn't word it like that.

How often has any of us worded something wrong! Glad when I mess up like that no one is there to record it and throw it back in my face

How bout my President and how he says things? You know like just everything and all

Even when he doesn't mis-speak, he makes a fool of himself... did you hear him say yesterday that he hadn't heard that gas was predicted to hit $4 per gallon! Or that we are not in a recession... ?? He has to be listed as one of the worst presidents this country has ever produced!

I heard him say, "We need a good economy to put help hard working people put "money" on the table"

I am the bigger fool, I voted twice for him. He thinks he's full filling God's destiny. I thing hes not. and every time man has tried to "help" he wound up making a BIG mistake.
