Michelle Obama departs Sunday for a six-day trip to Africa and Europe to advocate for the Let Girls Learn initiative, White House officials said.

The stops in Liberia and Morocco will be recorded for a documentary by CNN Films, which is picking up the costs for two trip participants, actresses Meryl Streep and Freida Pinto, an Obama aide said Friday.

The documentary will air in the fall, said Tina Tchen, the first lady's chief of staff.

Let Girls Learn is a U.S. government-wide effort to get the estimated 62 million uneducated girls overseas into classrooms. Poverty, cultural barriers, violence and forced marriage are among hurdles they confront.

I hope the girls learn the history of Liberia, take some nice selfies in beautiful downtown Monrovia and get time to visit some of the cutting edge public schools.
Maybe their mother will be more proud of her home country.

"Let Girls Learn"I wonder what those african schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram have learned since their abduction? I don't like to think about it. And didn't The Mooch hold up a sign demanding their return when it happened? Hashtag this, Mooch-Hell.

Grandma Marian has been living in the White House for the last 7 1/2 years pulling down a $176,000 salary as the “care giver” for Malia and Sasha

Hope ol’ grandma has done a fine job because we have paid her close to 2 million bucks to take care of her grand daughters - and serve as “co President” while they are off to school.


Seriously?!?! $176,000?!?!

I am pretty sure us “folks” cannot legally hire relatives for any type of caregiving of family members.

Who is paying for Michelle Obama and all the other piggies at the trough? And how is this even legitimate?!

So the pathetic family of uber-grifters is off again on a vacay (overlain with the “girls learning” BS) at taxpayers’expense. What a disgusting welfare queen. Maybe the mooch should stay in the “built by slaves” white hut (the “cave”) and start packing. This family (all of them) are disgusting beyond belief. If the nation is lucky, they will be arrested, tried, have all their assets seized...and be exiled for the rest of their worthless, malignant lives. Their sick “transformation” of America has been criminal.

Mr. Michael Obama and his two adopted daughters will enjoy Liberia, the home of ex-slaves who departed American for Liberia and created slavery. I remember a Vice video of a tour through Liberia and the narrator guy said, “I could easily be killed here and no one would know.”
