Here come the girls! Michelle, Sasha and Malia Obama touch down in Liberia to begin six-day trip

Michelle Obama urged young girls to fight to stay in school after she touched down in Liberia with daughters Sasha and Malia.

The first lady led the teenagers and her mother, Marian Robinson, along a red carpet as they began a six-day trip to Africa and Spain, after she touched down on Monday morning.

During the tour, they will be promoting education during the trip, which also has a stop in Morocco and ends in the Spanish capital, Madrid. On her first day she urged Liberian girls to stay in school.

Most drop out due to financial pressures. She launched her 'Let Girls Learn' education initiative in March 2015, and has since travelled the globe to call for greater support for the millions of girls kept away from school or forced to abandon their studies.

Obama met girls and young women at a project named GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) aimed at boosting active citizenship, run by the US Peace Corps in Kakata, east of the coastal capital.

Speaking about the value of women's leadership and access to education, the Harvard-trained lawyer said she was 'here to shine a big bright light on you.' 'I want you to keep fighting and stay in school,' she told the girls.

Maybe Michelle wants her children to see how lucky they are that they live in the U.S. and not anywhere in Africa.

Her hash tag campaign for the kidnapped girl worked so well. Now, a personal appearance.

They have no idea that there is no free lunch, otherwise they wouldn’t help themselves to all the vacations and assorted luxuries courtesy of the people who work.

All the accounts balance in the end. Boy are they going to hate that. Warms the heart. :)

It’s simply the immutable order of the universe. The Obamas and the Clintons and the whole host of their ilk have no clue about the natural law and nature’s God, otherwise they wouldn’t do what they do. They think they can create their own rules, be their own gods.

God sees all the receipts and knows who pays, who skips out, who cheats, who got ripped off. All will be rectified. :)

Of course there are more things than bills that will be restored to proper order. It’s going to happen sooner than most people think. Take heart, dear FRiend.

The girls are visiting their REAL mom and dad.. who sold them to the Obamas in 98 ?

Sounds more realistic than having picked them up at "Rent-A-Kid"........

Trump will have to live elsewhere while the hut is being fumigated for 6 months straight.

Apparently the girls inherited Michelle’s straight hair

Moo and Barry both despise their white ancestry.

Just because they are poor doesn’t mean they have to be filthy. There is no excuse. Even animals know to dig a hole to poo and to cover it up after.

Even Whoopie Goldberg admits she’s glad her ancestors ended up in America and how horrible Africa is.

Barry will get big $$$$$ with speech tours like the Clintons have done.
