...you did say "arguably," so I'll ask you to expound -- how do you arrive at the conclusion that Obama's love of country is somehow "contingent" on progress? It seems to me that Obama's thesis has been that despite its halting dance with race relations, he yet finds the nation enobling, becuase it's given him the advantage and opportunity he enjoys today.
...also, as to your "contingency" argument, if this were the case, are you suggesting that would somehow be wrong, or "less than" any other expression of love of country?
