She said "really proud" not just "proud".

Many people have mixed feelings about the mixed history of their beloved country.  (It is much more difficult to make a sound bite out of "she said she had never been really proud of this country".)

Not paying the gas tax will only help you if you're not going to drive on the roads.  If you're planning to use the roads, chipping in towards maintaining them is a good idea.

We can't get past something unless we start from where we are.  There has been a lot of anger in the black community in the past 20 years and with the previous generation and that is one thing we might be able to get past but only if we accept its legitimacy.

(If Obama is president for the next eight years, and I certainly hope he will be, I'm afraid we are going to have to listen to a lot of carefully chosen, but slightly ponderous and indirect, words.  Oh well.)

A few points I get exasperated that nobody's making:

What about the voters in Florida and Michigan who didn't go out to vote because their primaries didn't count.  And why was Clinton saying that the voters in Florida believed their votes would count? -- Were her local supporters telling people they would get them counted anyway?
(Actually, this does get an occasional mention.  There seems to have been a lot of non-voters since the turnouts in the Dem primaries were less than in the simultaneous delegate-electing Repub primaries, unlike almost everywhere else.)

The drop in attacks on US forces in Iraq began after the 2006 election, not after the "Surge".  The political change led to both the new US strategy and the Sunni "Awakening".

The Iraq war has left the US militarily defenseless.  State governments aren't even sure they have enough National Guardsmen for local emergencies let alone the military having sufficient forces in Afghanistan for their purposes.

Americans are sacrificing their own standard of living to fund this effort to provide the Iraqi people with a stable anti-American government.

The Republican policy of borrow and spend is far more devastating to the economy than the Democrats' policy of tax and spend.
