PRETORIA — Michelle Obama began what officials have billed as her first major overseas trip as US first lady Monday, a visit to South Africa and Botswana focused on young women leaders and the legacy of the anti-apartheid struggle.

She is travelling with her daughters, Malia and Sasha, and her mother, Marian Robinson -- but without her husband, US President Barack Obama.

The White House has emphasised the importance to the first family of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement, which President Obama has called his first political cause.

the legacy of the anti-apartheid struggle

And that would be, let's see, Communism, fascism, bribery, murder, theft, rape, civil chaos, and (on the horizon) bankruptcy and anarchy.

And the Secretary of State had to leave Africa last week because of a volcano that made it too risky to stay. Very strange.

Obama: Hillary, I need you to come home. It’s too dangerous..hold on...No Michelle, it’s fine. It’s perfectly safe for you.....Anyway Hillary I can’t afford to lose you...hold on...Michelle, it’s just one volcano. There’s nothing to worry about.....Hillary, the risk is too great. Just come home.....OK Michelle, bye. Send a postcard.

I think in the back of the minds of 0dumbo and manchelle they know he is one and done
so they are out to rape the taxpayer as much as they can

OR they intend to spend as much as they can no matter what with no regard for reality or what Americans are going through

What POS

They do act like royalty. The Obama’s blow our money like water. They use AF one, two, three plus more, and; the secret service has to be worn out. The witch even had the shops in Europe opened for her.

Bush caught hell for using his own ranch in Texas. The Obama’s seem to have no house in Chicago anymore?

Nonono, that’s not the way Michelle sees it.
To her, South Africa has JUST BEEN FREED from Apartheid,
BY her.

...her first major overseas trip as US first lady ...

I guess they forgot about the trip to Spain with about 500 close family members and guests.

Maybe stay with the in-laws and let her girls see how it really is to live in Africa.

I will always love Ali's statement of how he was glad his grand-daddy jumped on the boat and he has no complains about being born an American.

I think these people think they deserve something based on their ethnicity. The Obama’s don’t understand the nature of the United States, much less human’ disire for liberty and never will, the collective got him elected.

wonder what the fashionistas are going to say about her trendsetting styles in Afrika as she goes native, no doubt.

And on yet another expensive vacation to her 0bama’s native continent...how sweet/S if they love Afrika so much I wish they would just go live there in some village or hole. I can’t stand this group of grifters.
