We take an awful lot for granted in this country. While someone can easily love their country, a person may not truly appreciate it until he has something else to compare it with...

I have the same take on McCain's comments... that his love or appreciation for America was always there. But it grew once he went to war and missed home. That is the logical interpretation.
Do you similarly believe that Michelle Obama's intent was to demonstrate that she was always proud of her country. But she became more proud of her country when she personally witnessed the electorate's excitement and concern for the presidential campaign?
