In an interview with Oprah Winfrey set to air Monday night on CBS, the first lady says the election has reinforced her view that her husband’s administration was able to inspire hope “because we feel the difference now.”

“Now we’re feeling what not having hope feels like,” she says. “You know? Hope is necessary. It’s a necessary concept. And Barack didn’t just talk about hope because he thought it was just a nice slogan to get votes. I mean, he and I and so many believe that if you … what else do you have if you don't have hope?” …

Actually, just to say such a thing seems petulant and childish, does it not?

She’s right. Obama should step down early so the adult can take over immediately.

I agree that the White House needs a grown up. I’m happy that a grown up will soon occupy the White House.

And pleased that he is appointing seasoned experienced mature adults to positions of authority.

What would this self-important b*tch know about ‘grown ups’? Just go away already. You and that limp-wristed, pantywaist, America-hating Marxist.

That’d be like appreciating Carter. His absence is certainly appreciated.

"the nation will come to appreciate President Barack Obama"

Yeah, By his absence from the levers of power. He's still going to be a PITA enabled by the LSM though.

In two years when the country is doing phenomenal, when we are winning in just about everything you can imagine, people are going to look back at Obamanation and just shake their heads in absolute disgust and disbelief that things got that bad. Trump is going to make these two racist fools, Obama and Michelle, seem like a bad dream and I believe Steve Bannon when he said the next time a Democrat will be elected President will be in 50 years, the difference between Obama and Trump is going to be like riding a broken down donkey for 8 years and then graduating to a Lamborghini. We are NEVER going back to the jackass.

...White House needs a “grown-up”...

I'm sure she considers Valerie Jarrett to be the Resident Grown-Up.

Now that you are leaving that is what we are about to get. It has been a childish mess the last 8 years.
