WASHINGTON – Michelle Obama announced Friday that she's heading to Africa on an official visit later this month, stopping in South Africa and Botswana to continue her work encouraging young people around the world to become active in their countries.

The first lady will visit Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa and Gaborone, Botswana, during the June 21-26 trip.

How many millions will this cost? Someone should tally all the expenses associated with the First Wookie’s travels. That would be a nice place to begin cutting the budget. I mean really, Michelle was not elected to anything. Why do we have to pay for her and her retinue when they travel?

She is dragging the kids. Do you think they REALLY want to go?? And grandma is coming, too.

Testing the waters for a run at president in his natural born country.

Shoring up the black vote during a depression is a “must do”. This boosts the morale of the black marxist Amerikin, and in a collateral way it blows a little smoke Herman Cain’s way.

I just can’t wait for the fashion show! It should be a doozer!

Oooooh, goodie. Will the complimentary dance performance come with that fashion fiasco, I mean fashion show. I hope she wears the bright yellow tent skirt - that's my favorite/(he he)

Good maybe that,ugly wide load Wookie, can help them carry Roofing material, back home in Ole Botswana.

Michelle -

Take your loot, your $20,000 ugly dresses, and your other belongings with you and stay there.

That way you won’t have to be ashamed of America anymore.

Great, now we get to look forward to a Zulu Marxist Spring.

She’s not an official of the U.S. Government;

How can she make an “official” visit?

[Red_Devil 232]

The roofing material will not be balanced on her head! LOL

How the hell does this woman get off going on an “official” trip to Africa? She’s not an elected official. She’s not even an appointed official. She should have to pay for this trip on her dime, not mine!!!

[traditional1]

I hope she stays in the Motherland.

[LibLieSlayer]

Dear Africa... please keep the bitch!

LLS

[EricT.]

“Official”???

I must have missed her election.

Maybe she was appointed, in which case I must have missed the U.S. Senate approval hearing.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

How much is this going to cost us?

[Notasoccermom]

Some active person stole my son’s airline ticket and passport when he visited there. I hope she is not encouraging more of this type activity.
