One of the sillier memes floating around out there is that Michelle Obama is somehow unpatriotic and not proud of America (due to a quote a while back that was misconstrued).
Guess what, there came help from the U.S. first lady Mrs. Laura Bush who came to help defending the patriotism of Michelle Obama today.
That's right, First Lady Laura Bush:
"Michelle Obama has a new defender from those who say she isn’t patriotic enough — First Lady Laura Bush. In an interview with ABC News, Bush said that Obama’s February remark that she was proud of the United States “for the first time in my adult life” was misconstrued.
"I think she probably meant ‘I’m more proud.’ That’s what she really meant,” Bush said from Afghanistan.
"You have to be really careful in what you say because everything you say is looked at and in many cases misconstrued,” she said."
Thank you, Mrs. Bush. Your sanity on this issue is greatly appreciated.

#1 Weak argument
With all due respect to the First Lady (I do respect the First Lady), what Laura Bush thinks is almost entirely irrelevant. What Michelle Obama said is relevant. You might want to support the claim that the statement was "misconstrued" with some facts. The entire statement would be a good place to start. Then you might be able to argue that we somehow "misconstrued" her meaning.
