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).

U.S. First Lady Laura Bush has left for a five-day trip to Africa to promote the U.S. campaign against AIDS and malaria, and to highlight education projects.
