RUSH: A great See, I Told You So about Michelle Obama, who’s back. Moochelle (My Belle) was on Ellen DeGeneres show saying she has once again lost all hope. No! No, no. “All we have is hope.” “All we have is hope.” It used to be “all we need is love.” But now “all we have is hope.” That’s how bad things are. Mrs. Obama, do you ever ask yourself a question: If your husband and you and your administration were so appreciated and so loved and so widely supported, how the hell did Hillary lose? Hmm?
If the nation really wanted the Barack Obama agenda, then how did it lose? Because Hillary promised to continue it, and your husband, Michelle, was out there campaigning basically saying if you want more of what I have given you, you need to vote for her. And what happened? So this presumption that the country is totally in love with Obama, supporting of Obama, wants more of the Obama agenda, it’s just not born out by any evidence at all.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I want to take you back to Inauguration Day, January 23rd, 2017, about 53 weeks ago. And during this inauguration, the day begins after morning prayer with the president-elect arriving at the White House with the first lady. And they go inside where the outgoing president and first lady pour them a cup of coffee and they talk about whatever. It’s a very short, perfunctory thing. And then they all leave and go up to the capitol for the inauguration itself.
We know Bret Baier had a book on Ike, Eisenhower, that Eisenhower, they drove up there, but Eisenhower didn’t go in. He hated Truman. Eisenhower just stayed in the car while somebody poured coffee for somebody inside the White House. Well, when the Trumps arrived, the gracious and lovely Melania Trump held in her hand a gift for Michelle (My Belle) Obama. And it had the color, the distinct color of a box from Tiffany, which of course is right down the escalator from the gilded penthouse where the Trumps live.
And Melania Trump presented this gift to Michelle Obama, who looked like she’d be handed a vial of the flu virus. She barely reached out to accept it and then looked around perplexed as though, “What’s this? What am I supposed to do with this?” What this is is another bit of evidence that I know these people, that you should not doubt me when I explain liberals and how they live and how they behave. Let’s go back and listen to my original observations after having watched this on the morning of January 23rd, 2017.

Michelle Obama Talks with Birthday Girl Ellen About Post-White House Life
MICHELLE: Well, there’s all this protocol. I mean, this is like a state visit. So they tell you, “You’re gonna do this; they’re gonna stand here.” Never before do you get this gift. So I’m sort of like, “Okay.”
DEGENERES: (guffaws)
AUDIENCE: (laughter)
MICHELLE: “What am I supposed to do with this gift?” And then my husband saved the day. See, he grabbed the box and took it back inside. But everybody cleared out. No staff, no one. I — I was like, “What do you do with a box?”
RUSH: Did I not nail this? She looked at it, the box. She doesn’t want it. She doesn’t know what it’s for. It’s a violation of protocol! “Somebody being nice? Why, this doesn’t compute,” and it was treated like a live hand grenade. “Here, Barack, take this! Take it.” He took it. He saved the day — saved the day by taking the box inside and they cleared everybody out. This was such a diversion. Just amazing. So, my friends, yet again, do not doubt me.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Okay. Grab sound bite 21 and we’ll head… (thump) Oops! A screw loose here, folks. In the mic boom, not with me. There you go. After this, we’re gonna grab our first call of the day from somewhere — parts unknown — in Virginia. Here is Michelle Obama answering the question from Ellen DeGeneres, “I personally feel frightened. I’m frightened. I’m scared. I feel like the world’s a very scary place right now. What is your take on what’s happening?
MICHELLE: People are afraid. But then there are people who feel good about the direction of the country. Umm, so, I mean, that’s what makes this country complicated, because it’s made up of so many different people from different backgrounds. The thing I learned in the eight years that I was in the White House was that what we do every day in our lives, the good things that we do every day — and we know we do it. We show empathy. We care for each other. You know, we do have a lot in common. That’s what it means to lead with hope and not fear — and that’s all we have is hope.
RUSH: There you go. (chuckles) Look, if I challenge this, the left will say, “Have you not got any soul whatsoever? What is wrong with what she said?” Nothing’s wrong with it. It’s just classic liberalism. (interpretation) “Life is a struggle. Life is to be overcome! We have to show empathy. We have to care for each other. We do have a lot in common. That’s what it means to lead with hope.” None of that matters. That’s just… That’s more of the gobbledygook. “Here’s what’s wrong with America. This is what we need to do to fix it. America’s the problem, America has not enough love, not enough diversity, not enough in common,” blah, blah.
Melania is (a) white, and (b) not working for Michelle.
I wish they would not make a big deal out of this.
There are protocols set. You stand here, then you say this, and then they go there...
A gift was an unexpected change. She lacked the dignity to accept it gracefully.
Deodorant?
Was it an electric back shaver?
She was probably more offended that the Marine standing behind them wouldn’t hold it for her.
Melania should have given Moochie a gift DVD containing all of Trump’s “You’re Fired” segments from The Apprentice.
From the video on the other thread, I loved how Melania reacted.
She didn’t show any sign of even noticing.
Michelle just freaked out, and Melania had this innocent look on her face you’d expect from a really positive young girl, oblivious.
It was priceless.
I believe that Michelle Obama gave Laura Bush a gift. Laura accepted the gift graciously.
She never seems to tire of embarrassing herself.
Throughout my life I have received gifts that I didn’t like. But I was taught to be gracious about it. To think I should be the one offended by this wookie sasquatch as first lady made me wanna hurl for 8 straight years.
No raising whatsoever.
Too pig headed and ignorant to appreciate something fine and beautiful.
Donald probably spoke to Melania later, saying ‘I’m not at all surprised.”
You receive a gift, you say thank you. You sit down and either hold it in your lap or stick it under your seat for the duration. Libs want Michelle to be president and this is somebody who can’t figure out what to do with a small box for an hour.
Great catch.
“Michelle Was Offended”
—
It’s a perpetual state with her.
She did.
