Does Michelle Obama’s private family safari stand in the way of lion killer’s extradition?

Animal lovers should not wait for Barack Obama to avenge Cecil the Lion's death. Obama knows that it is not only the Walter Palmers of this world who get to go off on safaris

Any serious attempts by the Obama administration to extradite Cecil the Lion killer Walter Palmer would be more far more laughable than laudable.

When Michelle Obama took herself off on safari at the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa in June of 2011—with her personal hairdresser and makeup artist in tow—she was hunting publicity rather than big game.

But Michelle went off on safari all the same.

Actually she was in search of some of her relatives.

What stands in the way of extradition is that the dentist would fight it, and the resulting coverage would thrust Robert Mugabe and FAILED SOCIALISM into the spotlight day after day.

Which is something the Democrats absolutely DO NOT WANT in an election year.

She seems to take after Robert Mugabe, so she could have started there.

Lord, do we even have an extradition treaty with Zimbabwe? This is insane.

Zimbabwe won’t end up doing anything to the dentist. They’d lose all that income they get from western big game hunters.

For the best chance to find her steatopygic relatives, the Hottentots; from Madikwe, she would have to travel either east to the Highveld, or west to the Kalahari.
