Michelle and Barack Obama are leaving The White House, and as sad as most of us are at that unbearable truth, we at least have the last eight years to keep us warm at night. In a clip posted by CBS This Morning from Mrs. O's final interview as first lady, she chats with sisterfriend Oprah Winfrey about her husband's legacy of hope.
When asked if she thinks Barack delivered on his promise of hope, Michelle had the perfect answer (as always).
