Tammy Bruce to Mrs. Obama: Hope Is the Thing You Have When ‘Things Are Going Wrong’

‘The Obamas have presented it as though, look, this is the new normal — this is going to be awful’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BRUCE: "No, it’s not. He is the first nominee and first candidate, the first president-elect for the GOP to actually embrace the gay pride flag in a public forum. This is a fellow who is really a pragmatist, a populist. I find Mr. Trump to be, I think, somewhat ambivalent about the social issues. He is really a live and let live kind of the guys. He likes to make deals, we've been covering the Boeing situation et cetera. He cares about jobs. But when you think about hope, and this is the irony of Mrs. Obama, that hope is not a plan. Hope is the thing you have when things are going wrong. That real hope can’t exist unless you actually have a job, you have an income. You have a future that you can plan for for your children. That you actually are able — your house is not under water when it comes to its mortgage. That you have your health. You can actually get an appointment with the doctor that you know. Those are the things that bring you hope. The Obamas have presented it as though, look, this is the new normal. This is going to be awful. And we’re going to just at least emotionally encourage you. The election was about actually wanting genuine hope built on action, that are going to allow people."
