Michelle Obama to announce nearly $100 million for education in Morocco

First lady Michelle Obama is relying heavily on social media to tout an overseas trip tied to the Let Girls Learn campaign, which is aiming to get an estimated 62 million uneducated girls into school.

Obama started a Snapchat account with help from celebrities including James Corden of "The Late Late Show," with whom she recently taped a "Carpool Karaoke" that will run at a future date.

She's posting reports on her stops in Liberia, Morocco and Spain on hellogiggles.com, an online community for women. She referred in one report to the heartbreak of an 11- or 12-year-old girl told to forget her dreams and prepare to marry a man twice her age and have children.

Obama was in Liberia on Monday, and on Tuesday will begin a two-day swing through Morocco, where she will provide details of nearly $100 million in funding from the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a foreign-aid agency, to create a new model for secondary education, her aides said.

Andrew Zimern on Bizarre Foods was in Morocco recently and the food actually looked pretty good.

This, along with 99.999% of O’s actions are unconstitutional.

We are RULED by a MUSLIM DICTATOR who robs us blind and gives our wealth to his muslim brothers, WITHOUT ANY meaningful resistance.

Will the American people vote for continued tyranny and poverty, or elect the one man courageous and brave enough to take them on and restore our nation? We shall see.

Boobamba earlier gave Moocher seventy three million to "teach girls" in oil-rich Qatar.The hundred million Moocher is handing out is coming from the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a foreign-aid agency connected to the State Dept.

Hmmmmmmm....that rings a bell.....read on.

================================================

BACKSTORY Sid Blumenthal was the conniving Clintons' bagman---a $325,000 employee of the Clinton Foundation, he promoted dubious foreign deals and schemes in which he had a financial interest.

Blumenthal was ambidextrous---emailing Libya foreign policy messages w/ one hand....his other hand firmly in the State Dept cookie jar.

In one confidential e-mail to Clinton, Blumenthal was clearly colluding w/ onetime Amb Joe Wilson to help himself to the cookie jar.

GAME ON Wilson pumped himself as a 'director' of Symbion Power---an outfit seeking millions of dollars in contracts from an obscure government agency chaired by Hillary....the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC)

In September 2010, Hillary's MCC awarded Symbion $47 million tax dollars for (cough) 'power projects in Tanzania.'

EVER WONDER how much of the $47 million tax dollars got to Tanzania....after the players divvied it up among Blumenthal, Wilson, the Clintons, Obama?

===========================================

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: demand the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways.........govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.

Just as I suspected...the 100M is coming from YOUR pocket.

Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a bilateral United States foreign aid agency established by the U.S. Congress in 2004, applying a new philosophy toward foreign aid. It is an independent agency separate from the State Department and USAID.

You tax dollars at work.

No need for foreign governments, since obama and his retards will fork over YOUR hard-earned cash and run everything from Washington.

Except the US, of course. THAT’S running along without any government at all.

As soon as the media turns their head away from the show Morocco will make of setting up these “girls’ schools”, all that money will immediately be diverted into the mosques and madrassahs. No girls will ever be educated with that money. Indeed, it will likely go towards adding to the financing of the modern day Barbary pirates who continue to enslave blacks and sell them.

$100 million to educate $62 million girls. That is $1.61 per student. How much teaching can you do for $1.61?

Since WHEN did she hold an elected office? And, since WHEN does she decide where our money will be spent? I believe that is congress’ job. Right?
