'Reallygate'

Comments uttered by Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, in Wisconsin on Monday have led some conservative bloggers and pundits to question her patriotism. The Obama campaign said her remarks were misinterpreted.

During a rally in the Milwaukee, Mrs. Obama said that "for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am proud of my country, because it feels like home is finally making a comeback."

Later in the day, during a rally in Madison, Mrs. Obama altered the phrase's meaning by adding the word "really" — "for the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country."

A spokeswoman for Mrs. Obama said any assumption that Mrs. Obama hasn't always been proud to be an American is false.

"In the context of her remarks, her point is clear — of course Michelle is proud of her country," Katie McCormick Lelyveld told reporter Sean Lengell of The Washington Times.

"What she meant is that she's really proud at this moment because for the first time in a long time, thousands of Americans who've never participated in politics before are coming out in record numbers to build a grass-roots movement for change."
