Michelle Obama: America entering a time of hopelessness

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Michelle Obama: America entering a time of hopelessness (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 12/16/2016 9:43:19 PM EDT

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 didn’t 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. It’s a necessary concept,” she elaborated. “And Barack didn’t 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 don’t have hope? What do you give your kids if you can’t give them hope?”

And so it begins - stirring the base. Consider that the first of many campaign appearances on her way to becoming the first female president. Count on it.

Hope? Well, he had eight years to make a difference, but all he did was provide false hope to black Americans in both 2008 and 2012 campaigns. It's like what did he do that directly affected black Americans? If you point out the giant changes he made, he did more for gays and lesbians than he did for black Americans. If he didn't do things while in office that would positively affect black Americans across the nation, then what would a while female politician do more for them than Barack did?

The hopelessness he's feeling is for the Democratic Party. A bunch of clowns who, on their own without any direction or manipulation from Russia or the Republican Party, purposely tried to promote Hillary over Bernie Sanders, who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars less in campaign money than Clinton and was polling close to Clinton in popularity.

It was a very tasteless thing for a first lady to say. I expect more from someone in her position. People can talk all the crap they want to about the GWB, but his wife was all class and elegance. She was the archetypal first lady. Michelle Obama is an incredibly low rent version and fortunately on her way out of the spotlight.

There is a curb back in the hood in CHI-town with your name on it. NOBODY GIVES ONE SINGLE FUCK about what you think, nor will we ever again. GTFO already.

it's all a matter of perspective. If I hated America and consistently voted for new ways to destroy it, I'd be feeling pretty hopeless right now, too.

Funny.... when I'm feeling hopeful for the first time in 8 years! Pompous elitists and their minions are so out of touch with reality. ??
