Michelle Obama joined the World Bank on Wednesday in announcing the investment of at least $2.5 billion over the next five years to help adolescent girls go to school in developing countries.

"The evidence is very clear: When we invest in girls' education, and we embrace women in our workforce, that doesn't just benefit them, it benefits all of us," Obama said at the meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

The first lady spoke at the annual event for the first time as part of the "Let Girls Learn" campaign she launched last year together with President Barack Obama. Its mission is to address the range of issues that prevent adolescent girls from going to school.(snip)

The first lady added: "Make no mistake about it, these girls are our girls. These girls are our responsibility."

What the @#$@#$ is the “WORLD BANK”?

[rfreedom4u]

How much of her own money did she contribute?

What are the locations of branch offices for the World Bank?

[poobear]

Build a $1,000 shack, call it a school, take some heart wrenching photos and pocket the rest.

[Jay Thomas]

Didn’t know she had that kind of jack to donate. This is her own money, right? RIGHT??

[Nachum]

But which girls?

[butlerweave]

The Obama’s must be super Billionaires with all the billions they’re giving away

Charity begins at home...or so it should.

“Michelle Obama joined the World Bank on Wednesday in announcing the investment of at least $2.5 billion over the next five years to help adolescent girls go to school in developing countries.”

And this isn’t blatantly sexist WHY?

[simpson96]

Liberals are super-duper at not only giving away other people’s money, but acting all heroic about it.

[Jack Hammer]

Clearly, being fulla sh*t runs in the family.

[IronJack]

Oh, isn't that generous of her? How noble of her to take the credit for spending someone else's money!!

But ain't that just like a liberal?

[Jeff Chandler]

"The evidence is very clear: When we invest in girls' education, and we embrace women in our workforce, that doesn't just benefit them, it benefits all of us,"

No evidence, just words.

By the way, it should be noticed that while college admissions for men have been declining for several years, those for women have risen steadily, until now, freshman admissions for females out number those for males.

But we still have to pretend that women need special assistance in education.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It’s where all the Communists get their transfer payments from the US taxpayer.
