McCain pulls a Michelle. Nobody notices.
Everybody remember when the ABC News reporter pissed McCain off by asking how getting shot down was a credential?
Good.
Now, does anybody remember how he responded when he regained composure? I can't find the exact quote, but it was something like "it taught me to love America by taking it away." Now, this is all well and good, but it leaves one question: what does that say about his feeling toward America before he was shot down?

Here is the quote you are looking for. McCain repeated it this week.
Fox News interview with John McCain on March 13, 2008, in which McCain said, "I didn't really love America until I was deprived of her company."

So... Johnny had to see the worst in people in order to love our country, while Michelle saw the best in people to have increased pride in our country. And with all the hits she's been taking in the press, I'd say she's held her composure much better than him.
