And a distinct case of a serious personality disorder of fullon "Fantasy Island" syndrome.

Indeed, I saw a video of when they had first taken power, and she was babbling about hope, and how they would change...8 years later, a trail of wreckage, disintegration of law, corruption and complete incompetent execution of any plans, is their legacy. Good riddence, I would propose a new law to exempt them from any benefits and make them have to go live in the real world as a just "punishment".

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?

Her words are like laxative in a sea of donkey excrement.

Yep...progressivism is what progressives does...she is talking about herself, her liberal progressive kind. That's the way "They" feel where the rest of the country is very Hopeful that things will change for the better and having learned our lesson...will vow to keep a close eye on that change.
I see and observe that in spite of our tentativeness we are generally Empowered for the First time in a very long time.

And positively boring....

Run for what, perhaps a position in Chicago where they actually accomplished most of their "hope and change", like "Miss Community Organizer"?

Media seems to be promoting her for a political office while her husband has repeatedly denied she'll ever run.

Over and over and over again.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

She is hopeless because things are wrong and she does not know what is wrong nor how to fix them. This is true of most of us.
Those who claim to know are only fooling themselves

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

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

Blanco

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.

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.

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

I hear they are going on a 2 week vacation to Hawaii. them and 300 close friends. It certainly is nice to have so much vacation time. Probably won't cost much more than all the money I've made in my life.

Right around the time of the jekyll island meeting.
