Visit the Zimbabwe wall of macro-policy art.

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

And, believe me, he sucks as the Beavers Men's basketball coach, but he will probably be around here as long as 0bama is around, then, buh, bye!

Well, since we can’t afford to take the kids on vacation this summer, I look forward to following the first posse on their swing through the land of their peeps, and to sharing their personal safari in Botswana

Maybe we’ll make some popcorn

“This whole family of equal-opportunity, affirmative-action grifters makes me ill.”

What do you mean? Michelle and Craig didn’t pay for Princeton? lol

“.....father was a city water plant employee and Democratic precinct captain, and Marian Robinson (née Shields), a secretary at Spiegel’s catalog store.”

taking her children, their cousins, her mother, and probably hundreds of retainers

Can’t wait to watch the kiddies enjoying mealie meal and petting giraffes

I understand that Moose-smell is going to meet with Winnie Mandela. Perhaps Winnie can give Moose-smell some hints on how to “accessorize,” with her signature designer necklaces, made of 100% Malayasian rubber.

Maybe they can bring back the real bc.

Moochelle showing the natives how to deal with whitey using easily found farm implements:

I think you caption should be about:

"shovel ready 0bamacare for old folks"

[quantim]

Just for you.

She will be doing a follow up to what Rahm did a few yeas back. That is to make sure the Kenya government keeps a lid on any history of Obama. It is probably time again for a couple of big cargo ships with relief materials to unload in Mombassa and Michelle can be the personal enabler.

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...

You’re right on. She will probably meet Winnie Mandella and get a course in “Necklacing” “With our matches and necklaces, we shall free Africa”...to paraphrase that evil ex wife of Nelson Mandella.

Are you familiar with “necklacing”?

"I understand that Moose-smell is going to meet with Winnie Mandela."

Looks like she'll be meeting with Mandela's current wife. They've been married since 1998.

"Mrs. Obama will spend most of her time in South Africa. She is scheduled to meet with Mandela's wife, Graca Machel, tour the Nelson Mandela Foundation, where his papers are stored, and visit the Apartheid Museum, which tells the story of the rise and fall of the now-abolished system of white-minority rule."

No not really. What is it? I heard the term during the OJ Simpson trial (can you believe that it’s been 17 years this month?) to describe slashing?

[Bringbackthedraft]

All I see here is face time for Michelle, you might say she is getting ready for 2016.

[Albion Wilde]

I was about to ping you to this thread, but I see you’ve already made the scene.

There sure are a lot of “comments removed by moderator” on this thread. A picture: still worth 1,000 words.

She is scheduled to ...visit the Apartheid Museum, which tells the story of the rise and fall of the now-abolished system of white-minority rule."

Just in case anyone was willing to "move on" from hating white people in another country over whom we Americans had no control. Except that many in the U.S. participated in economic boycotts to encourage an end to S. A. apartheid. But that doesn't count. The white church-led abolition movement doesn't count. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of Union troops don't count. Freedom rides? They don't count....

[Segovia]

seems to be some confusion between the S. African “necklessing” and the Columbian “neck tie”, (which wasn’t too pretty either) The necklessing is putting an old tire around the neck of someone, whose hands and feet are bound, and then setting the rubber tire on fire-——————have you ever seen a tire fire?

[Outlaw Woman]

OMG..that’s horrible. I’m not confused, I just stated the only reference I had which was the Columbia necklace.

The world truly is barbaric; people in this country better wake up.
