I'm still not proud of my country. Never have been yet since I grew up. Why would I be? I didn't choose it. I was born here. Mrs Obama is proud that her country might elect a president with recent African ancestry. Mrs McCain is just proud for no particular reason. I don't get it.
Things you can take pride in include your accomplishments, your legacy, that kind of thing, not crap you have nothing to do with or over which you have no control. Being proud of your country is like being proud of your appendix.
If you start up a new country, you might take pride in it, but the McCains and the Obamas have no basis for such pride.
