With fewer than 40 days remaining as first lady, Michelle Obama is continuing to reflect on the legacy she and President Obama will leave after having occupied the White House for the last eight years. In a new interview with Oprah Winfrey, the first lady addressed the election outcome and suggested that the U.S. is entering a time of hopelessness.
We are feeling what not having hope feels like, Obama told Winfrey in response to a question about whether President Obama had achieved the hope and change he promised while campaigning in 2008. As she often did while campaigning for Hillary Clinton, she didnt mention President-elect Donald Trump by name. But she alluded to the contrast many in the country are feeling since he won the election last month. We feel the difference now, she said, noting that her husband had succeeded in keeping his campaign promise of fostering hope. Hope is necessary. Its a necessary concept, she elaborated. And Barack didnt just talk about hope because he thought it was a nice slogan to get votes. He and I and so many believed that what else do you have if you dont have hope? What do you give your kids if you cant give them hope?
Those are philosophical questions that the nation will no doubt begin to grapple with in earnest over the coming months. And theyre not the first contemplative remarks the first lady, who has earned a special place in Americans hearts, has made recently. Last week, she reportedly left White House staffers in tears after a heartfelt thank you speech at a holiday party.

Unfortunately you will seeing a lot of her around 2020.
Auditioning for a job in academia
I loathe all of the America-hating Marxists currently squatting in and defiling the White House. Hopelessness was watching them destroy this country for eight years. Hope and joy was watching Americans break down in tears as they realized someone willing to put America and her citizens’ best interests FIRST was elected president.
One more thing: this harpy is as ugly inside as she is out. FU MO!
Evil must be feeling hopeless these days. Good.
The perks of being very obedient puppets.
Barack as the adult godlike father figure and Americans as toddlers who have bumped their heads."
Don't forget, this is how they perceive Americans:
yup sadly- The left will trott out her and warren- possibly even chealsea too- We just have to pray very hard that America’s short term memory lasts long enough to remember the hellhole that was left behind by dear leader- but given how ‘popular’ she is in America- it doesn’t bode well-
I don’t know why but when I saw that headline, I laughed hysterically.
Oh please! Guess what Moosechelle? I’ve never been prouder to be an American!
Winter is coming for the democrat party.
Fake, but accurate.
Me too. I go from joy to happy to glee to gloating and circle back to joy. Too much winning is tough on the emotions.
I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing that. There’s not enough eye bleach on the planet.
what she is now not proud of her country again?
These people make me sick. They lost, even with all the support of the media behind them. GET OVER IT LIBERALS.
Just said the same, and then I read your post.
I'll be very surprised if we are not at war with the Ruskies or maybe China by the time that mindless schmuck gets out of town......
So she’s/its admitting that Barky’s promise for HOPE failed. Change we got, too much.
