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?

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.

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.

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

How can she make an “official” visit?

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!!!

“Official”???

I must have missed her election.

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

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.
