No, not exactly. This is another case of an internet myth, with the president and first lady's political opponents claiming the Obamas hate America and hate the flag. Neither is true, nor is it true that Mrs. Obama insulted the flag. What is missing in this story is the tone of voice: she was expressing amazement and admiration at a ceremony to honor the flag, but her political opponents sent around a chain e-mail that said she was impatient and didn't want the flag to be honored. She said no such thing, nor did she express any negative sentiments about the flag. I enclose a link to one of the many sites that fact-checked this myth.
