KAKATA, Liberia (AP) First lady Michelle Obama landed in Africa on Monday with her daughters and her mother for an overseas trip promoting education for girls, starting with a country still recovering from the recent Ebola epidemic that left thousands dead.
The Obamas were welcomed in Liberia's capital with a red carpet and traditional dancers wearing the red, white and blue colors of both the American and Liberian flags.
After meeting Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the Obamas traveled a heavily potholed road to the town of Kakata, where they visited a Peace Corps-sponsored leadership camp for girls.
"I am just so thrilled to be here with you," the first lady told the crowd.
She is traveling with daughters Malia, 18, who recently graduated high school, and Sasha, 15.

AF1 is exclusively for the use of the President. They will not get to use US Government aircraft after Jan 20, 2017 unless the new President or other senior official allows it.
However, the UN has several planes, and Ban Ki Moon’s term as Sec General of the UN is up at the end of the year, so...
And the grifting continues.
This is just PR to cover for the next leg of the trip - a Moroccan hash binge.
Oh, and none of those handless, footless victims of the last Liberian civil war, either. That’s just too yucky.
Hurry up and piss away lots of taxpayer money...from the country you’re ashamed of.
YES, definitely, please stay!!!! Praying for holy intervention!:)
Apropos they’re visiting a country where whites cannot become citizens and are taxed for being white and are considered subhuman. It is apropos, too, they visit a country where freed slaves occupied and enslaved the indigenous people.

in a poll taken among African Americans, 87% could not name the President of Africa
Liberia is a security nightmare.
Isn’t the capital Congo City? The capital of Africa that is.
I just assume they landed there because Moochelle saw what looked like an American flag with only one star and thought, "look girls, daddy finally accomplished his goal of eliminating all state's rights!"
Gots to get the World Tour done before the Tax Payers stop paying
Damn, if they had any smarts about them, they’d make it a vacation to remember. The Greek Islands, New Zealand.....Fiji....in my dreams!!
Or maybe they can go to Syria.
pretty please, STAY.
Well, yes, but since no money shall issue from the Treasury of the United States except from an appropriation made by law, don't you think that paying for this is on Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell? I mean, they don't have to allow it.
Be careful out there, ladies...We wouldn’t want to see any of you slip and fall on a banana peel.
Got to catch those vacations in the waning days of being able to do this on the taxpayers dime/dollars.
He is seen here in native Kenyan garb in a rare shot recently discovered in a White House burn bag that somehow escaped the newly installed White House diesel powered, water-cooled Acme 3000 Super Shredder. It was sent to us by a former White House shredder tender (who wished to remain anonymous -- and hasn't been heard from for over 2 months!).
And if you are offended by this photo, TOO BAD! Obama is, after all, a disciple of Saul Alinsky who advised his friends in Obama's favorite book, "Rules for Radicals" (subtitled "Dirty Tricks by The Left are Just Good Politics"), that RIDICULE is a potent and effective weapon.
There ya' go!!
Good point.
