Michelle Obama says Americans will miss having a 'grown-up' in the White House
In interview with Oprah Winfrey, Obama says 'people will come to appreciate' her husband's presidency
Michelle Obama said the White House needs a "grown-up" and the U.S. will come to appreciate President Barack Obama.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey set to air Monday night, Obama said 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 said. "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.
"What do you give your kids if you can't give them hope?" she added.

These people have learned nothing - absolutely nothing - over the past 8 years.
Why, yes, we have missed a grownup in the White House for some time now.

Not even. How much "color" do you need to be of color?
Obama has a bit more African blood than Eisenhower, but not much more.

Yes...... The Canadian Free Press had to publish this, perhaps because America no longer has a free press and the USA media is afraid that they might be considered racist.

O holy funk!!!!!!!!!
I did not know this.
Well, NOW I SEE WHY ALL HER HOPE IS GONE!!!!! Losing all those servants she doesn’t pay for!!!! Kind of like a plantation owner after his slaves were freed!!!!!
This needs max exposure.
...like a dog misses fleas
Your frustration is delicious, Michelle.
Give us more.
Can these people get any stupider? Just go away....please... I’m seriously beginning to think they are not going to let go. ;)
“Am I being snide?”
Not snide enough.
Grown-ups don’t insult their hosts on the way out.
Michelle Obama said the White House needs a “grown-up” and the U.S. will come to appreciate President Barack Obama.
...
They used to say the same about Carter. That never happened, but he’s no longer the worst president.
We will finally have an adult in the White House. Dream on, Michelle.

Snopes doesn't seem to understand that the problem is not the size of the staff per se, but who pays for it.
When I lived in Milwaukee. My Black buddy Chuck would not date Black women. He said they were the nastiest women on the planet.
Is that the best you got, Michelle. No words for our “f#cking flag” so many Americans have died for, which really represents the lives and liberty of American citizens? You never deserved the honor to live in the White House.
Amazing, I never knew...
