I don't think it's been blown out of proportion... you barely see it mentioned in the mainstream media. You don't have to be proud of America to be an American. We're free to think and say whatever we want, no matter how ungrateful and disrespectful it may be. I just don't think I want a first lady who's never felt proud of her country until it started worshiping her rock star husband and his vague and lofty promises of "change."
