Michelle Obama’s ‘Hopelessness’ Shows it Sucks to Be a Liberal
Townhall.com ^ | December 20, 2016 | Susan Stamper Brown

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.

So they go from Clinton’s “A Man from Hope” to Obama’s “The Audacity of Hope” to Michelle’s “hopelessness”.

Well I think she’s correct, because it’s hopeless for them.

Good point.

Here is how my response would have gone....

“I graciously thank the American people for allowing me to be in the White House and with my husband and daughters. This marks a major event in American history where a black man was president of the United States. I hope and wish that this is a turning point and that those like me will find comfort that we have come a long way as a people.

Now is the time for us to hand the keys over to our successor and I and my husband wish him and his family the best. And most of all, we wish the American people the very best.

May God Bless America!”

Hey, if you had to see that face in the morning when you were shaving, you’d feel hopeless too

Especially, when Michael is shaving her face, right beside Obama, and Obama realizes, she has more facial hair.

As long as the idiot Right allows the Totalitarian Marxist left to label itself “Liberals” we will Lose. Your Grandmother that went to Woodstock, has ten cats, occasionally smokes grass and votes Democrat is a ‘Liberal’. These people are Marxist that would gladly walk you into a Gas Chamber. Don’t let them do as they have with Abortion and call it a “Chose”, Call them out for who and what they are, not some Silly Moniker of ‘Liberals’.

All of this is fodder for his foundations. The reality is the Boob and the missus got rich in office and intend to get even richer via an endless presidency......ala the crooked Clintons.

The Obamas are only interested in accumulating tons of money---and creating ways to loot and pillage the US Treasury. These two Chicago kingpins got plenty of tricks up their sleeves.

EXHIBIT ONE--- Obama gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (chaired by Hillary) on her recent visit to Morocco, to "teach Muslim girls". The 100 million tax dollars are to be held by, and doled out by, the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

A new era in looting and pillaging the US Treasury has been set.

LOOK AT THAT SMILE Michele, her daughters and her mother in
Morocco's palace. 100 million dollars to spend when she and Mr O
get back to Chicago

EXHIBIT TWO---How did Malia, the oldest Obama daughter, come to be worth 300 million dollars? She's only 17 and worth a fortune.

SOURCE http://en.mediamass.net/people/malia-obama/highest-paid.html

==================================================

Trump must drain the democrats' money-grubbing swamp!!! Sessions MUST close down every single one of these tax-free organization raising money to overthrow the US govt. FIRST---Instruct the IRS to pull their tax-free status. THEN---Prosecute them all for aiding and abetting the overthrow of the US govt.

Everything out of his mouth is to prime the pump for big buck donations to his tax-free foundations (two that we know of). Valerie jots it all down....and ....bingo....he's got another fund solicitation letter ready to go.(Valerie musta went nuts trying to spin Trump's win into a plus for Obama).

==============================================

This dangerous megalomaniac clearly got into American politics under false pretenses.

His disgusting European apology tour certainly proved his rank hatred of America. His capabilities in office demonstrated a remarkable proclivity for looting the US Treasury.

In it only for the money, you say? You betcha. The Washington Times says he leaves office as a billionaire.....and plans to shake the money tree bigtime (coached by those practiced grifting experts....the Clintons).

===============================================

The clock is ticking, his time in the White House is fading....but Obama is not going quietly. Boobamba left Americans a divided nation, trillions in debt, and a cartload of parasitic freeloaders sucking up our tax dollars, many of whom plan to kill us.

If that wasnt enough Boobamba says he intends to stay active....to take years and years to transform America even more. He's proud he fundamentally transformed the nation we loved into a violent, hate-filled place.

American first ladies are generally known to act and converse with a degree of class. Mrs. Obama has displayed as much class as a crab louse.

Strange. My husband lost his job as Obama entered office, because of the economy then, which started a downward spiral for my family. We are broken and hurting since then and also since then have never had even a weekend’s vacation. And yet it is she who feels hopeless, after all the vacations I helped buy her, all the steaks I couldn’t afford that she stuffed down her gullet, all the concerts I could attend that she had performed in her home from us. I’m full of hope, Mooch-bitch. You destroyed us but we will rise above. Too bad for you.

I don’t agree with your last sentence but mooch sure is. She wondered aloud with Oprah why the American people called her an “angry black woman.” Maybe the perennial scowl did it.

I’ve been around many in SE MI for many years. In school, workplaces, stores, summer fests, other venues. I know what I see and hear, and call it as I see it.
