Title: The First Wookie: Americans will miss 'having a grown-up in the White House'

America is now a country without hope, Michelle Obama has said. Asked by Oprah Winfrey if her husband’s administration had lived up to its promise of hope, the first lady said yes, adding: “Because we feel the difference now. Now we’re feeling what not having hope feels like. Hope is necessary.”

She added: “And Barack didn’t talk about hope because he thought it was a nice slogan to get votes. He and I and so many believe ‘what else do you have if you don’t have hope? What do you give your kids if you can’t give them hope?’” In what is likely to be Obama’s last interview of the year, she suggested that Americans would miss “having a grown-up in the White House”, drawing a clear contrast between her husband and the man who will replace him on 20 January, Donald Trump.

And she compared the nation to a toddler who falls over and looks to their parent to know if they should cry or not.

“I feel that Barack has been that for the nation in ways that people will come to appreciate,” she said. “Having a grown-up in the White House who can say to you in times of crisis and turmoil ‘hey it’s going to be OK, let’s remember the good things that we have, let’s look at the future, let’s look at all the things that we’re building’.”

On Thursday, the first lady played that role herself to a group of students, many of them young black women, who had gathered at the White House for a screening of the film Hidden Figures, which documents the role of black female mathematicians in the space race.

“Look at this eight years,” she said. “We were supposed to be hidden. People didn’t even want to believe we were real. But here we are, eight years later. “But it’s up to all of you, our young people, to continue that legacy. It’s your turn now. All right?” she said.

In that interview she also gave a message about diversity and inclusiveness that could be read as a criticism of Trump.

At a time when the Republican president-elect is drawing up a cabinet dominated by older white men, the first lady said: “As we move forward in life and we get access to these seats of power, these tables of power, I want you to look around and make sure there’s diversity at the table.

“Because you don’t come up with the right answer if everyone at the table looks the same and thinks the same and has the same experience – you never come up with the best answer. So when you get these seats at these tables of power, your obligation is to make sure the conversation is diverse.”

She added: “Because what we saw in this film is that when we pull together men and women, people of every background and colour and faith, immigrants who’ve come here from across the globe to make America their home – when we bring all of that brainpower to the table, anything is possible, even going to the moon, right?”

President-elect Trump was endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan and accused of tapping into crude white nationalism while insulting Mexicans and Muslims. Michelle Obama was arguably one Trump’s most eloquent and powerful adversaries during the campaign, denouncing his treatment of women after allegations of sexual harassment came to light.

She told the students that if they take anything from the past eight years, “I want you to see that it does not matter what you look like, it doesn’t matter how much money your parents have – none of that matters. Skin colour, gender is the most ridiculous defining trait that we cling to. It doesn’t matter.”

The Oprah Winfrey interview with the first lady airs Monday night on CBS at 8pm ET.


Did anyone experience, "hope&change" with 0bama's eight years in the WhiteHut?

We haven't had a grown up in the white house since the Reagans left.

First Wookie: " Skin colour, gender is the most ridiculous defining trait that we cling to. It doesn’t matter. ”

Yet, she and the Chimp in Chief, and Shitlerly have stressed those traits continuously.

I am so sick of those assholes, I can't wait for them to be gone!!

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907.

Agree to a point. I would not wish that on their children, or their pets.

Mr & Mrs Obunghole, I would prefer something that would be less mild!

Agree to a point. I would not wish that on their children, or their pets. Although, I have read that some people speculate that they are NOT their kids. Don't know.

As to Mr & Mrs Obunghole, I would prefer something that would be less mild!

I'll just be happy to see them back in Chicago or at college, living their lives, and out of mine.

"... let’s look at the future, let’s look at all the things that we’re building’.”

She forgets her husband, as President, once said, "You didn't build that".

So, what did YOU build, Dr. Zira?

Drawn from a society dominated by older white men. It's a cabinet that "looks like America".

I'm just a little less sensitive, sympathetic or empathetic than you. It's all cool.

Their filthy offspring has already been infected with the libtard virus. I wouldn't feel an ounce of sympathy or remorse if Mother Nature stuffs them out prior to them spawning.

Obama has done more to represent the black race... as a cluster of disgusting idiots than anyone else in history.

Hillary has done the same for the cause of women.

Unless the women are being raped, beaten, or stoned by the "Religion of Peace."

I notice she wasn't very adversarial about Bill Clinton's serial raping of a series of women with Hillary as an enabler. Bill used every elected office he ever held, including the Oval Office, as a whorehouse, sometimes with force. Hillary looked upon it with approval and apparent acceptance. Her review of the situation was one of thigh slapping humor --"Well, he's a hard dog to keep on the porch."
