A "Happy Holidays" post from former First Lady Michelle Obama drew backlash from Instagram viewers after she alluded to "a difficult few months" for many of her followers.
The post focused on work done by the Obama Presidential Center during 2024, but not before going into "woe is us" territory.
“It’s been a difficult few months for so many of us," she said in the voice over, " and folks are feeling a little bit anxious and uncertain. But even during these tough times, there are plenty of reasons to stay hopeful."

Of course, many of her followers could relate to her comments; far left Democrats fell for the party line about President-elect Donald Trump being a grave "threat" to democracy.
But others let her know in no uncertain terms that they were excited for the future, not concerned.
“We are all excited for the future!!!! Only anxieties we had were what we went through in the last four years,” one Instagram user said.
“Michelle, America is excited about what’s to come: a new horizon and prosperity for the nation. 2025-2029! No anxiety here,” another wrote.
“A difficult few years from the damage the Biden administration has caused!” still another commenter said. “Things have never looked better since Trump won the election! The people have the power! Not even all those celebrities could change that!”
“We are certain it won’t be worse than your husband’s administration or the Biden administration,” another person said. “That we are CERTAIN.”
The outgoing Joe Biden administration has been responsible for inflation at 40-year highs that has driven prices up for many of the things average Americans need and want.
Between the economy and immigration, many Americans were fed up with the way things have been.
It's why Donald Trump got elected over Biden's vice president, Kamala Harris.
It wasn't even close; now Trump has to deliver on his promises of making everything right that Biden messed up. If he can do that, he may gain the respect of the American people--even some that have been dead set against him for the last eight years.
