Michelle Obama Lost in Africa

She must be because the Globe can't seem to find her.

"Mrs. Obama keen to stir African youth" by Darlene Superville, Associated Press / June 21, 2011

PRETORIA — Michelle Obama does not come from a wealthy or well-connected family. She came from the South Side of Chicago and is a descendant of slaves. But she and President Obama share a passion for education and a willingness to work hard that helped them succeed, she has said.

It’s a message young leaders in Africa will hear as she makes her second solo trip abroad as first lady, visiting South Africa and Botswana.

Obama received a warm welcome upon her arrival last night in the capital of South Africa, Pretoria.

The weeklong visit is intended to improve relations with African nations and promote youth education, health, and wellness 

The typical slave labor of first ladies.

So much for an antiwar voice anywhere in this administration. 

In the centerpiece speech of the trip, Obama will appear tomorrow before a US-sponsored forum of young women leaders from sub-Saharan Africa.

During her first solo trip outside the United States, to Mexico in April 2010, Obama started an effort to encourage young people to become involved in their communities and countries and not shy away from trying to solve global problems....

Just make sure they are the officially-sanctioned s*** like global warming and obesity.

If it opposes the globalist agenda her husband fronts for see how far you get. 

“The fact is that responsibility for meeting the defining challenges of our time will soon fall to all of you,’’ Obama told thousands of university students in Mexico City. “Soon, the world will be looking to your generation to make the discoveries and to build the industries that will fuel our prosperity and ensure our well-being for decades to come.’’  

I already am because up until now the globalist geniuses have really f***ed it up. 

End the wars and private central banking, kids.

******************

Obama is also scheduled to meet with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a key figure in the struggle against apartheid and in later helping South Africa overcome its past. 

He's fine just as long as you don't mention his trips to Palestine.

The Nobel kind of cheapens him, doesn't it?

She heads to Botswana on Friday to call on President Ian Khama in Gaborone, the capital, and drop in at a combination clinic and center for teenagers that teaches about leadership and HIV/AIDS.

With business concluded by Saturday, Obama and her mother, two daughters, a niece and a nephew will have some private time, including an overnight stay in an animal park.  

So tomorrow I get a Next Day Update in my Sunday Globe?
