Did you read the quote from his book I posted? She was damn glad to get back to the US after her visit to Kenya. That's a pretty good indicator that she loves her country and appreciates its values.

On the whole, not many people, white or otherwise feel a constant pulsation of patriotism or love of country until something touches them. I lived 3 years in Spain and had a ball, but every time I came home, I felt a surge of emotion when the plane touched down in the US.
