It’s a shame that Michelle Obama says she’s feeling hopeless this Christmas, especially after all the wonderful opportunities she’s had as America’s first lady. It goes to show you that liberalism is like a disease that won’t be satisfied until it devours all of you. Undoubtedly, all the designer gown-wearing, Hollywood hobnobbing, $100-per-serving wagyu steak indulging and taxpayer-funded globetrotting won’t fix the hopelessness which ails her. It’s hard to be hope-filled when you tangle yourself in a web of bitterness and resentment over America’s past.
Just last year, Mrs. Obama shared how she really feels during a racially-divisive commencement speech at Tuskegee University that would have made its founder, Booker T. Washington, grieve. In fact, in his book, “My Larger Education,” Washington warned readers about people like her, calling them “problem profiteers.”
Washington wrote: “There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
Michelle’s “problem profiteering” came across loud and clear with her admission of hopelessness during the recent Oprah Winfrey interview. She came across like a spoiled brat when she said, “We are feeling what not having hope feels like” -- although her husband, Mr. Hope-and-Change himself, had eight years to propagate hope had he not been so preoccupied with change.
Mrs. Obama is leaving the White House with the same negative attitude about America she’s had most of her adult life. Apparently, it changed temporarily, when her husband became the 2008 Democratic Party nominee. “For the first time in my adult life,” she said, “I am really proud of my country, because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”
But, now that President Obama’s on his way out the door, hope is too.
It’s as if she sincerely believes that hope rises and falls based on her husband. It is enormously arrogant to suggest that any human being has that much power, let alone someone whose policies: wrecked healthcare and made it unaffordable, hurt manufacturing and downgraded the job market, lowered household incomes and added millions to food stamp rolls, weakened the military and made us less safe, played class politics and eviscerated racial unity – to name a few.
With “hope” like that, no wonder Americans voted for change.
Obviously, Michelle won’t be happy until everyone feels as hopeless as she does about America.
But, that’s not going to happen.
In fact, the Electoral College just met and did its job to seal the deal for Trump, who won more counties that any candidate since Ronald Reagan. The U.S. Constitution worked, despite the obnoxious temper tantrums, death threats and harassment hurled at the electors by crazy, crybaby leftists who refuse to accept the fact that if Americans had wanted to give Obama a third term, Hillary Clinton would’ve handily won.
Instead, voters sent the leftist, totalitarian agenda packing. And stocks rose and poll after poll reflect that Americans have a growing and glowing optimism about the direction America is headed.
If that is Michelle Obama’s definition of hopelessness, then it sucks to be a liberal.
The Obamas’ are about to face the ultimate punishment for Narcissists: they are about to become irrelevant.
Pretty amazing that the Obamas are on track to make a more classless exit from the WH then the Clintons did.
If you have no hope Michelle, look in the mirror. Your husband’s been in charge for the last 8 years.
That’ll be the scene after their anti-inaugural parties.
Moochelle’s like the two black gals that bit the Macy’s guard after getting caught shoplifting. Just exactly like them. A whole lot of American black women are just plain nasty people.
Liberalism will never completely die. There will always be a few, in some dark crypt, coming out at night, who will not have seen the light of reason.
If you watch any part of this interview you will realized that Michelle Obama is one of the stupidest, inarticulate people around. except for that congressman who thought the we were sending too many people to Guam because it might turn over.
Well, look at those liberals. There are no pretty faces. Haggard, doped up, rode hard, out away wet. Mentals.
You can dress her up and put her in the richest venues. But intellectually she’s still ghetto.
LOL.

Neither of them were meant for the job. I said that in 2008.
Hope is lost... for the diversity industry gravy train, that is...
“Wow. What an awful message. Can’t she find anything positive about her husband’s 8 years in the White House? Apparently no.”
I can! He was very good for gun sales and Lear capital!
Only an idiot would find ‘hope’ in government programs.
Booker T. Washington was someone to admire, he understood the issues black Americans had faced as slaves, and thought that learning a trade and working hard was the way to get “up from slavery”.
I had never thought about it but it really just sucks to be a Liberal at all times. Liberalism is about being pissed off at everything always. To be a liberal means you must believe somone, or something, is always out to get you.
Michelle has carried the anger and bitterness with her for her whole life.
After her angry, graceless and frumpy first year in the public eye, it seems someone in her husband’s administration got to her and helped her work on improving her public image, and showing a little grace.
Now that the end is in sight, all pretense has been given up, and she’s reverting to her natural petulant, aggrieved style.
I saw Mrs. Obama showing her card hand when she said last week that having Trump win shows us what losing hope is like.
She professes to be a Christian...and she says this?
My hope is in Christ Jesus. Through Him I know I will go on living an ultimately be resurrected and live for ever with my Savior and my loved ones. No political outcome...no financial calamity...no sickness...no frigging LIONS ATTACK AND MAULING can take that away from anyone who has given them self to our Savior Christ the Lord.
America has always had great hope precisely because a majority of its citizens had THIS hope in Jesus within.
And we will continue to do so as long as we keep that hope alive.
God’s speed to you all my friends.
I hope to have more time.
But if I do not...and it looks like I will not...then I will continue on the other side, across Jordan to do whatever I am allowed to do to influence and watch over my family, friends, and all of those who have aa love of God in their heart.
