Michelle Obama fed her husband's feud with Donald Trump on Friday as she gave a gloomy description of the hopeless climate his election win has created.

The First Lady used her final interview in the White House to tell Oprah Winfrey that a 'grown up' should be in charge of the country. 

Looking forward to president-elect Trump's looming inauguration, she said even though hope was lost, it was necessary to move on. 

 

'Now we're feeling what not having hope feels like. Hope is necessary,' she said in her first direct response to the November 9 election result.

Mrs Obama's remarks come within hours of her husband's announcement Russian hackers interfered with the election to help his successor. 

Trump, who is yet to accept the DNC hack was orchestrated by one of Putin's agencies, undermined the announcement on Twitter.

Michelle Obama gave her final interview as First Lady on Friday, telling Oprah Winfrey that the country had lost hope since Trump's election win 

In her interview with Oprah, the First Lady said the president needs to be someone 'who can say to you in times of crisis and turmoil: "hey, it's gonna be ok"'. 

She said she was assured her husband had achieved his goal of setting a hope-fueled agenda because of the contrasting mood brought by Trump's victory. 

'Your husband's administration, everything, the election, was all about hope. Do you think that this administration achieved that?' asked Winfrey.  

In a lengthy reply, Mrs Obama said calmly: 'Yes. I do. Because we feel the difference now.

 

Mrs Obama maintained a firm quietness on Trump's win for weeks 

'Now, we're feeling what not having hope feels like. Hope is necessary. It's a necessary concept. 

'What else do you have if you don't have hope?'

In a glowing assessment of her husband's tenure, Mrs Obama likened him to the calming parent of the panicked toddler nation. 

'Our children respond to crisis the way they see us respond. You know, it's like the toddler bumps his head on the table and they look up at you to figure out whether it hurts and if you're like (gasp) "oh my god" they're crying but if you're like "you know what, babe it's OK"...

'And I feel that way about the nation, I feel that Barack has been that for the nation in ways that people will come to appreciate. 

'Having a grown up in the White House who can say to you in times of crisis and turmoil : "hey, it's gonna be ok", let's remember the good things that we have, let's look to the future, let's look at what we're building" - all of this is important for our kids to  stay focused and to feel like their work isn't in vain and their lives aren't in vain. 

'What do we do if we don't have hope, Oprah?

The one-on-one took place ahead of the first family's departure from The White House to Hawaii where they will enjoy a two-week Christmas break. 

It will be shown on CBS on December 19 at 8pm. 

On Thursday, The White House issued its first public acknowledgment that Russian hackers had interfered with the election to help Trump's chances.  

Mrs Obama said hope was 'necessary' to move forward in the rare one-on-one

President Obama promised there would be consequences for Vladimir Putin, one of Trump's most vocal international supporters, as he addressed the scandal.

'I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections ... we need to take action,' Obama said.

 

'And we will — at a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicized; some of it may not be,' he told NPR News. 

President-elect Trump is yet to accept publicly that the hack, which has been credited with tumbling Hillary Clinton's campaign, was orchestrated by Russian officials and designed to push him towards the White House. 

He responded to the White House's announcement on Thursday by undermining it. 

'If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?' he wrote on Twitter. 

He then appeared to justify the breach by highlighting some of the damning information it revealed about his opponent. 

'Are we talking about the same cyberattack where it was revealed that head of the DNC illegally gave Hillary the questions to the debate?'  

Mrs Obama had maintained a firm quietness on the election result since November 9. 

She claimed to have gone to bed early rather than stay up to watch the results and refused to be drawn on them afterwards.

Tell that to the employees that were able to keep their jobs. I highly suspect they have hope.

I am so done with the O's and their Socialism and how the Urban areas haven't gotten more poor. Just go away!

A bunch of Americans were disappointed, when President Obama won.

Twice.

What did I do?

I prayed for him. It's a huge job.

I didn't vote for him. But, I prayed he would do okay.

I wouldn't have guessed, in a million years, that Mr. Trump would have won the election.

I didn't vote in the primary. (I just couldn't make a choice.)

But, I did vote for Mr. Trump, in November.

I think what Mrs. Obama needs to understand, is that while a lot of Americans didn't vote for her husband, or want him as our President...we still wished him well. And prayed he would do well.

Mrs. Obama really needs to suck it up, and do the same for Mr. Trump.

Give the man, a chance.

We gave your man a chance, for goodness sake!

Mr. Trump hasn't even taken office yet. And you're running him down?

no

JMHO.

I didn't pray for O, but I prayed for the country.

I agree, give the guy a chance. Mrs. O is acting like a beotch.

So tired of these idiots.

Just saw a clip on the news of O saying he told Putin to "knock it off", referring to the hacking during the election.

Neither of them could be any more full of BS.

Totally classless. The right thing would be to wish Mr Trump luck and then close her trap.

Oh4, thank you.

But, that really came from the heart. (And, I don't post on the political threads, very much.)

I always hope and pray, that the leaders of our country will do well.

I pray that God will give them the wisdom, and grace. To do their best.

Even if, I didn't vote for them.

Or, they weren't my first choice.

I love the USA. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

I won't throw a fit, if someone wins an election, and is our new President...and he/she wasn't my choice.

I just hope and pray, that they will do their best, for our country.

I hope Mrs. Obama, will come to the same conclusion.

Give her time. She's a smart lady. I think/hope she will keep her opinions to herself, come January 20th.

Fingers crossed.wink

I absolutely know that came from your heart. I am totally in agreement that we should pray fervently for our leaders. The Bible commands us to. And we do, like them or not. As much as I dislike Michelle, I hope that one day she will find a peace like I have.

I had hope in the beginning with Obama. I always have hope for a new administration, that it will do well, even if I didn't support it. That hope soon waned however when he proved to be just as poor of a choice as I saw him to be throughout the election.

With Trump there absolutely is hope. Hope that much of the mess that Obama created can be undone before it is too late.

I honestly don't understand where all these people get their "There's no hope left" prognostications. Maybe the Democrats have no hope that they can drive the country further into financial crisis. But isn't that really a good thing? And doesn't that leave out all the people that want America to be a stable and responsible steward of democracy who actually do have hope?

Even with Hillary Clinton's "popular vote" win, the country is still almost evenly divided. How can there be "no hope" if half of the country backed the person that won?

never had any hope with obama--what he actually is, what he believes, what he values took a while to become apparent to some of us--never had any doubt myself--credit the media's persistent dis/misinformation campaign throughout the last eight years--eventually though, the adults among us came to our own conclusions(especially the true patriots)--actually have hope for Trump--like W, there are things I don't like about the man but believe he genuinely cares about this country and our future--we are long overdue for a leader that puts America first

Michele should have just wished President Trump well, she didn't have to say "we have no hope".
That is HER opinion, and very, very discouraging.

I wonder if she's stopped being "a proud American" now that she's on her way out of the White House. It was the White House that made her one in the first place, if I recall correctly.
