WASHINGTON (AP) - A White House official says Michelle Obama is heading to Africa on an official visit later this month, stopping in South Africa and Botswana where she'll continue her efforts to encourage young people to get involved in their societies.

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

The official said Mrs. Obama's visit will highlight the important stake the U.S. has in the success of Africa's many nations, as well as the historic connections between the American people and those who live on the African continent. President Barack Obama's late father was Kenyan.

What a national disgrace is Big Foot Moochell, an America-hating self-serving fool is being sent on a paid vacation to Africa costing our IOU filled treasury millions for yet another useless trip.

True Americans should have nothing but contempt for this example of an unpatriotic American sow feeding at the bankrupt teat of a nation in free fall. Save some contempt for for our inept congress, their bloated staff, all bureaucrats and Speaker Boehner iuncluded, who allow this to happen.

Where is the candidate that speaks of decimating the central socialist government?

I wonder how many tag-alongs will be with her for this trip. 500 went along with them to Europe a couple of weeks ago.

She’s just doing her part to ensure bankruptcy of our nation. Every trip costs millions that we don’t have. I’d like to see the tally so far of all their vacations.

Amen Brother.

If this mission were necessary,it would come under the auspices of either the Secretary of State or the Vice President. Certainly not a job for a First Lady. She should be out weeding that Native American garden she just planted about this time. LMAO at that Photo-op.

Neither her nor her husband care a damn about those they use nor this country. They have been on vacation most of the past 2 plus years at our expense. They have a sense of entitlement that no former first lady and president ever had or could come close to.

In July 2005 First Lady Laura Bush made a trip to Africa.

She and all her fellow America/capitalism/free enterprise-haters could be the new ‘pilgrims’ to Africa. They should start fresh in Africa, their “homeland” (they describe them selves African-American so this is NOT racist).

Just stay there and create the utopia they want if they’re so damn smart. Leave United States of America alone and fundamentally transform the place of their roots with their oh-so-special ideas.

I think somebody pulled The First Moocher aside and told her that there is going to be no Second Term, so if she wants to jet around the World on the public dime, she better do it now.

I, personally, can't wait for the pictures of Michelle dancing with the African children. Truly, truly, a highlight of American diplomacy!

What's that you say? Time for my meds? Ooooooo........kay..........

As usual image more important than reality for Libs. (Using whining liberal voice over...How many Starving Children could her “Vacations” feed in Africa?)

When is the last time they visited their house in Chicago? More time to show what racists Americans are. She ain’t seen racism until she goes to Africa.

Pray for America
