In the coming days, First Lady Michelle Obama will be traveling to South Africa and Botswana to meet with young people from across Africa, including the Young African Women Leaders Forum. In a video message, Mrs. Obama invites young people at home, in Africa, and around the world to follow the trip and join the conversation:

You can join the conversation on facebook and by using the hashtag #YoungAfrica on Twitter. Check WhiteHouse.gov/YoungAfrica for updates from the trip, videos of young leaders, and much more in the days and weeks to come.

I’m proud that I have to give up my vacation so the first lady can have hers.

For crying out loud.... They are doing as much as possible since they know full well Obama will not be elected in 2012.

We need the obligatory picture of the skeleton kids there. You know the one where the flies are all over their faces and they are wasted away to basically brown skin on bone. Because we need a visual reminder of just how good it is there...

Look it’s ok with me but if you want to improve at all, you’re going to have to place your tongue between your molars and bite down with all the force you can withstand or until your tongue becomes all swollen and bloody and it’s hard to talk; whichever comes first. Then you can proceed to talk ebonics (no one will know that you’ve never taken an actual course in it because it will ‘sound’ like you have)

Lewinsky’s first tryst with Clinton was in November 1995. Her last ones were March 28 and 29, 1997...

Hillary Clinton, D-NY, at an event with former Ambassador Joe Wilson, said, “I’m delighted to be here with Ambassador Wilson. He and I did travel together to Africa and, sort of, paved the way for the president’s trip the following year, which was historic.”

That Africa trip was in March 1997.

...

Every time a first lady go to Africa the president breaks up with his girlfriend- or boyfriend in this case...

Thanks for the advice, but I think I will stay with the keyboard version of this strange and unknowable language. ;-)

“Good to see the dear youngsters won’t suffer cultural deprivation this summer.”

I just read more...

Michelle’s mother, Marian Robinson, is also going...natch! She goes on all the trips! It seems that the nephew, Avery Robinson is a young man, about 18 years old, and his sister, Leslie Robinson, is around 14 years old.

Does Barry have any brother-in-laws that we know about?

Seems like there should be one sleeping on one of the many sofas in the White Shack.

Cut her a break. It’s been at least five days since Michelle had any vacation time.

Craig Robinson, father of Avery and Leslie, is the only sibling of Michelle Obama.

This whole family of equal-opportunity, affirmative-action grifters makes me ill. May they rot.
