Her husband repeatedly used messages of hope in his presidential campaigns and during his time in office.
But US First Lady Michelle Obama has struck a much less upbeat tone in her last TV interview before the family leaves the White House.
Speaking to talk show host Oprah Winfrey, Mrs Obama said America's outlook had changed since Donald Trump won November's election.
"Now we're feeling what not having hope feels like," she said.
Mrs Obama played an unusually prominent role in the 2016 election cycle, throwing her support behind Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and trading barbs with Mr Trump.
She called on women to rise up against him over his groping comments and denounced his campaign's "hateful language".
In turn, the Republican accused her of spending too much time campaigning for Mrs Clinton....

Odd, this is first time in 30 years I have hope.
No hope without a Wookie in heels...
best Christmas ever in 8 years. Chewbacca wasn’t crying eh? I bet she will once Marine One picks her up and that Jarjar impersonator she calls her husband..
I’ve had more hope with Trump’s election than I have had in eight year! I have been totally demoralized thinking we might have a continuation if Hillary got elected. Now FINALLY HOPE!
After 8 years of that little faggot you call a husband it’s not easy to have hope.
But we have Trump now and he’s a lot better than hope.
Nonsense. We have the great White hope

Oh isn’t that a darn shame..the America hating POS isn’t proud to be an American anymore
Michelle, it is because your husband has been crushing hope for the last 8 years.
That statement is abuse of sarcasm.
Michelle, please don’t let the door hit your ample a$$ on the way out.
Sooooo...socialism is hopeful?
Sooooo...socialism is hopeful?
Meanwhile, the rest of us are PROUD to be AMERICANS again. No longer will we be insulted by the burning of our flag, our president apologizing to the entire world for our existence, crimes against true Americans, NO ACCOUNTABILITY for the crooks and thieves who have robbed America blind. We will even have a president who places his hand on his heart when the flag goes by and will wear the American flag on his lapel. We will have a president we are PROUD of and will no longer hide our heads in shame every time the skinny no-nothing speaks to the world. AND we will have a beautiful, well spoken FIRST LADY with CLASS who will dress appropriately and tastefully without trying to buy the most expensive item on the market to impress anyone.
It is indeed MORNING IN AMERICA!
Hope that what? Marxism would reign supreme in the United States?
Hope to get as many terrorists into our country as possible?
Hope to destroy the Constitution?
Hope to destroy the real American family with all this gender crap?
Hope to destroy American businesses with umpteenmillion regulations?
Hope to destroy America totally?
I wonder how many of those who had their policeman husband or father get shot felt under Obama’s ‘look the other way and support the shooter’ policy because that admin took away all their hope.
That is not hope for us.
We are looking to have a real President who loves us.
THAT is HOPE.
Now she knows how I’ve felt the last 8 years.
Wait, so Moochelle is now BFF with Oprah, and doing 1:1 interviews with her? What propaganda.
Moochelle can take her smelly “hope and change,” pack it in big plastic bag (so it doesn’t leak), and throw it in the garbage on her way out the backdoor of the White House.
Not at all!
I hope the Clintons go to jail.
