Michelle Obama and family members off to South Africa on your dime
Topics: Political News and commentaries
Grab your wallets, America, the high-flying, free-spending, vacation-loving, Michelle Obama is off to S. Africa on yet another ego-stroking, expensive taxpayer-funded vacation, and she's not alone. She's accompanied by her daughters, Malia and Sasha, and even her mother, Marian Robinson.
And needless to say, it's all on your dime (lots and lots of them). But don't fret, taxpayers, the trip is for an 'important' purpose - it's an "'official" visit to South Africa and Botswana to "continue her work encouraging young people around the world to become active in their countries."
And for a nation that's way over its head in debt, an economy in the tank, millions of its citizens in dire financial distress, unemployment rising, manufacturing, housing, car sales, and consumer confidence tanking, and her husband spending our money faster than a drunken sailor ... "continuing FLOTUS' work "encouraging young people around the world to become active in their countries" - focusing on "our historic ties" and "youth leadership, education, health and wellness" - is really important and well worth the expense, right?
Can I get an 'Amen' on it?
