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.

So little time left

So many more taxpayer paid vacations to take

Obama's daughters, Malia and Sasha, and her mother, Marian Robinson, will accompany her.

Of course, going along as paid "staff."

I sure hope we aren’t being ripped off to pay for THIS new vacation too!?>

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Make it 600 and I’ll become interested.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Giver her a break. The poor woman barely has time enough to take 6 two week vacations a year. /sarc

But Mrs. Obama, aren’t you going to attend the Olympics in Brazil and show your support for our American teams?
It’s not like you have to worry about getting Zika while pregnant or something, right?

[Popman]

Can we deny her re-entering the country ?

[SkyDancer]

Have to run out that vacation schedule on the taxpayers dime before they have to start paying for it themselves.

"Let Girls Learn"

Because they're SURE to vote for destructive leftist politicians?

[rockrr]

Somehow Mooshie will find a way to cram two more years worth of (taxpayer underwritten) Vaca into the next four months.

She’s gonna let her hubby go back to his favorite past time: PILLOW BITING.

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.

Didn’t they just take one — to Mali?

Oh, come-on, Moochie is only concerned about the children.

What was that hashtag # save our girls campaign a couple years back when hundreds of young girls were kidnapped by Muslims, resulting in fates no human should endure?

How's that going Michelle???

What a Maroon.

[upchuck]

Wonder how many are on the “make him look like a woman” staff?

Let Girls Learn is a U.S. government-wide effort to get the estimated 62 million uneducated girls overseas into classrooms

Obviously a higher priority than helping Americans.

[Mears]

I hope this works out better than her “Save Our Girls” fiasco did.

Those poor little things are still missing.

Imagine if Bush’s wife did anything like this. She and GW (or any other Repub) would’ve been absolutely flayed for letting her use AF1 and taxpayer money as her personal vacation fund. Amazing what you can do when you have a big D in front of your name and title.

pulling down a $176,000 salary

Dayum, did not know that but not unexpected.

Bunch of grifters.
