Why would that be considered a snub? She’s not the President of the U. S.

He is foreshadowing the prison terms her illigitimate and treasonous husband will serve in Leavenworth.

meeting Zuma was on her itinerary

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/166980/20110621/obama-michelle-africa-south-africa-botsawana-official-trip-young-women-leadership.htm

Remember her visit is being pumped up to look official so as to justify its expense to the US Taxpayers

I personally don’t care as I wouldn’t walk across the street to piss in her ear if she was on fire. I do find it amazing that a fellow hard core communist wonk gave her the cold shoulder.

That’s ok, it is not as if potus Obama’s 4 hr visit to Peuto Rico, gave a flowery speech without any content and departed with at least a million dollar.

What is the purpose of flotus’ trip anyway?

At least he didn’t send the janitor.

At least he didn’t send a prisoner. I already feel better about the millions this vacation is costing.

I wonder what the protocol is. Maybe the SA first lady??

And — what is she going there for? Is it an official type visit? If it is a vacation thing, when why a greeter anyway?

If this happened to First Lady Bush, I would have been incensed.

With Mrs. Obama, I am nothing more than amused.

Still, I don’t understand: why the snub? From Zuma’s standpoint, what did the Obamas do wrong?
