Americans Claiming Sarah Palin Is Racist For Attacking Michelle Obama Once again Sarah Palin is at the heart of controversythis time for a few choice passages in her new book America by Heart. In the book, the former governor of Alaska gives some sharp criticisms of First Lady Michelle Obama. In one passage, Palin addresses the Presidents tendency to use racism as an excuse for his unpopularity claiming that Obama seems to believe that Americaat least America as it currently existsis a fundamentally unjust and unequal country. In another passage, she comments on similar comments made from the First Lady, She said during the 2008 campaign that she never felt proud of her country until her husband started winning elections. In retrospect, I guess this shouldnt surprise us, since both of them spent almost two decades in the pews of the Reverend Jeremiah Wrights church, listening to his rants against America and white people. She continues to discuss the couples apparent lack of pride in America, asking, Havent they met anybody in uniform yet? Palin then describes the own pride she feels when she sees a young man or young woman standing for our country. Palin is not all negative though. She does acknowledge that our country has been making progressno thanks to the Obamas, but because people are frustrated and hungry for change. What do you think? Is Palin being criticized for telling the blatant truth?
