"Let me tell you something. For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country."
Michelle Obama
"They" are saying that her use of the word "really" modifies her comment. She was proud before, but now she's really proud. Give me a break.
This is a well-educated woman with a substantial vocabulary. She could have, and should have, said: "I've never been prouder of my country than I am right now." But, she said what she meant to say.
Spin away. We ain't buying it.
