Nichelle is set for life or almost life. Why does she feel hopeless? She will be protected at taxpayers expense. she has money and position.
Perhaps it is the realization that she how has BHO around the house 24/7. Any number of personal reason come to mind.
Perhaps it is the thought that everything she has wanted and worked for her entire life, those things that almost becme a fact for all of the country will have be dismantled and moved out to over the event horizon, just as most Americans felt, especially in the last 4 years of HRH's reign of progressivism.
How does it feel to see all you worked for and wanted slipping away and you are "powerless" to stop it?

The poster child of polarization speaks.
Guess this means she's not proud of the USA once again, ah, like for her whole life before her hubby got nominated king.

Make that 103 years.

The nature of the left is hopelessness. Michelle Obama's "proud of my country" statement was a fleeting thing as she saw her husband be elected president. However, every action by her and her husband after that conveyed their utter negative feelings for their country. If you feel you must "transform" your nation, you do not and will never see anything good about it. You will also never be satisfied with the changes you do succeed in imposing. The proof is the constant whining about skin color when a person of the supposed "down-trodden" skin color was elected to the highest position in the land.

I resent leftists conflating America with themselves. She's the one feeling hopeless, not we.

she is hopeless, and been in that state since she entered college. she has tunnel vision with respect to their legacy and what the American people think now.
The American people had hope that we would have a country when they were gone from the white house. They just don't know that the American people have the best attitude they have had in 8 years now that the man who is leaving office being known as the worst president the country has ever had. The school children of the country as delighted that she is gone so they can go back to eating what they want.

Sayonara to the most expensive Queen the country has ever had.Goodbye and good riddance.

Here's the problem in a nutshell:
They are not suffering from hopelessness. They are suffering from copelessness.

From her view point, I can completely understand her position. The fact that I and a large portion of the country find her position utterly despicable is self-evident. I pray that the election of Trump will mark a turning point in politics.

Yes, I totally agree that she is totally hopeless and also totally clueless.

Michelle who???
Her opinions have become irrelevant. Perhaps they always were.
I know...I know.....any criticism of the Obamas is considered to be motivated by racism. ...but alas, the label "racist" no longer has the power it once had....at least for me.......primarily because of the over use of that label, particularly during the last 8 years. It is interesting that people who are not racists are disturbed when someone labels them racist.....but true racists, like members of the KKK or the Arian Brotherhood are proud to be labeled racist.
In any event, and schadenfreude aside, the Obamas now are reaping what they have sowed.....Good riddance to them both.

Totalitarian thinkers believe only they know what is true and right, and must lead the helpless, ignorant masses into a glowing, Utopian future. That cockroach, diseased philosophy requires constant doses of political insecticide by protectors of individual freedom, and never quite seems to die, rising up over and over to pollute humanity.

Does anyone recall the First Lady's "contemplative remarks" several years ago about how she was not proud of America or proud to be American? As the occasion of his last press conference approached, the nation's first black president - who did nothing to stop the destruction of non-Islamic (read: Christian) communities and the sexual enslavement of Christian women and girls by ISIS fighters sweeping across the Middle East - proclaimed that in America, ‘We have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism." For those who may not recall, President Obama went to great lengths from Inauguration Day onward to embrace segregation, claiming that "Republicans are welcome to come along for the ride, but they'll have to sit at the back of the bus" and demonizing and discriminating against Conservatives by smearing them as "clinging to their guns and religion." If Michelle Obama no longer feels "hopeful" as the winter season approaches, let her try that line on the 95 MILLION Americans who are no longer part of the labor force, including the black communities that traditionally suffer proportionally higher unemployment rates. I'm sure many voters within those communities had been hopeful that the nation's first black president might have made a respectable effort to try to do something about growing jobs in America other than promising to "focus like a laser beam on J-O-B-S : Jobs!", only to leave American workers on the side of the road while throwing the gates on our southern border wide open to anyone who could walk through. American voters have had 8 years to "contemplate" the ramifications of voting for "hope and change" - and it appears that they wanted something more than empty promises from a man who proudly claimed, "Elections have consequences. I won." Whatever else may be said about Hillary Clinton's campaign, she never connected with the voters in any meaningful way sufficient to persuade them that she offered anything better for the nation than Obama had. There's a great line from "Tequila Sunrise" about friendship that might just as easily apply to politicians: They're like the tires in your car - "sooner or later, there's nothing left in them except hot air." Hopefully, the President-elect will be better.

Hello unitedlc,
When the world is right, looters and moochers should feel a bit of hopelessness, while producers feel a bit of relief. The day when she and her husband are footnotes I no longer must listen to can not come too soon.
Respectfully,
O.A.

"what do you give your kids if you can’t give them hope?"

How about the opportunity to learn self-reliance, grit, a robust sense of identity powered by themselves, and the confidence in their abilities to know they can manage their own life without someone else telling them and "protecting" them from reality?

I think they should move to Venezuela and spread their hope there- with no subsidies from us taxpayers

Hopeless is how people who had power, had no idea how to wield power and were ousted by people realizing this feel and the people surge.

I bet "lonely" is another word. They will no doubt be waiting for any negative evidence to pounce and tear down the winner from their place in purgatory.

Lets just hope Trump and the Republican party don't blow it. The supreme court nominations will tell us most quickly if we have a chance......Lets hope Buzzy Ginsburg departs the scene soon [hopefully because she retires] so we can have a solid majority.

Funny! They are apoplectic.

"It's the Most Wonderful Time In Eight Years" for me personally. I am loving that Michelle feels what it's like to lose.....Get over it! These people just left Washington on Friday for another vacation in Hawaii...I am SO glad they are leaving the Whitehouse. People take a vacation after they have actually worked at something...and in my humble opinion they have not WORKED for eight years!

I'm feeling pretty good for the first time in a long time about a President , As of January we will be Dope-less.

What Mooshell really meant by hopelessness is waiting by the phone for party invitations that no longer come from Clooney, Streisand, and the rest of the Hollywood a##kissers who pandered to Dear Leader and his Queen for the last hateful eight.

I find this to be almost sickening. It is so illustrative of the arrogant "only we know what is right" BS that they have been pandering for 8 years, Hildebeast tried to extend that streak, and the Dumbocrap party just modified itself into thinking "what worked twice will work thrice" and cannot adjust to the fact that people were fed up with the divisive, racist, manipulative and abusive abrogation of law party, that they had become. Both of them are just arrogant freeloaders who have never worked a day in their lives, and never will, but they know everything, just ask them. Ack....

Don't all the hopeless vacay in Hawaii?

She never recognized that there was never any hope with Obama(s).
