The First Lady steps up war with Trump as she tells Oprah that Americans have no 'hope'
Daily Mail ^ | 12/16/16 | Jennifer Smith

Posted on 12/16/2016 8:05:05 AM PST by Enlightened1

Michelle Obama fed her husband's feud with Donald Trump on Friday as she gave a gloomy description of the hopeless climate his election win has created.

The First Lady used her final interview in the White House to tell Oprah Winfrey that a 'grown up' should be in charge of the country.

Looking forward to president-elect Trump's looming inauguration, she said even though hope was lost, it was necessary to move on.

'Now we're feeling what not having hope feels like. Hope is necessary,' she said in her first direct response to the November 9 election result.

Mrs Obama's remarks come within hours of her husband's announcement Russian hackers interfered with the election to help his successor.

Trump, who is yet to accept the DNC hack was orchestrated by one of Putin's agencies, undermined the announcement on Twitter.

In her interview with Oprah, the First Lady said the president needs to be someone 'who can say to you in times of crisis and turmoil: "hey, it's gonna be ok"'.

The one-on-one took place ahead of the first family's departure from The White House to Hawaii where they will enjoy a two-week Christmas break.

It is her final interview in her role as First Lady and will be shown on CBS on December 19 at 8pm.

Mrs Obama's comments come amid growing acrimony between the incumbent president and his successor.

I have LOTS OF HOPE for a change, after 8 (really 10) years of hard-core lefties running things, and a quasi lefty before that, and a far lefty before that, who only was reigned in thanks to Newt Gingrich who forced him to BALANCE THE BUDGET

If “Hope” is what these disgusting grifting liars peddled in the last eight years, then damn right it will be good for this country to have no “Hope” as THEY define it.

This is the same person who eight years ago said, “For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”
