Name a thing America should be proud of since 1982

Michelle Obama is 44 years old. If we officially call her "adult" at the age of 18, that gives us from 1982 to the present.

I want everyone here to start brainstorming. You can't cite world war 2 or the civil rights movement, since those things happened before 1982. Let's see how many things America did in the last 26 years that ought to bring true pride to every single American. Let's make a list.

Now that that's out of the way, here is Ms. Obama's quote in CONTEXT:

"People in this country are ready for change, and hungry for a different kind of politics and let me tell you something, for the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback."

She was clearly talking about the political process; as in "different kind of politics". Not to mention that the word "really" completely makes a difference in meaning.

But let's assume we buy the mainstream media's and the Hillary campaign's spin and that she meant she wasn't proud of America at all. Let's get that list going!
