Do you still see no difference with or without the "really"?

I also find it difficult to pick the fly droppings out of pepper, which is a pretty good analogy for this kind of parsing.

Your analogy about the Star Spangled banner doesn't really sway me, either. We'll just have to disagree.

You might ask yourself, though, why a person in her position would even quantify her pride in her country in that way...
The sentiment itself tells the listener much about Ms. Obama and that's the part that interests me.

Really.

There is another way you can look at this.

What if Michelle said that she was not really proud of her husband until he decided to run for President?

Ten bucks says that Obama would not regard that as a compliment.
