The Trials and Tribbilashuns of the Mooch

Poor soul; trapped in that awful, cold,unfeeling House that was built by slaves. It is a testament to her grit and determination that she can soldier on the way she does, along with her two little darlin’s and Mama Robinson in tow.

There are a few things that make her miserable existence there a little more bearable. Like traveling all over the world on a bunch of white devils’ money.

WHY THE HELL DOES SHE ALWAYS LOOK SO ANNOYED?

Michelle Obama Wines and Dines with Islamic Royal Family to Celebrate Ramadan

Michelle Obama and her two daughters were in Morocco on Tuesday celebrating Ramadan, the Islamic holiday that commemorates the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad.

While dining with the royal family, the trio broke bread and participated in the ritual known as Iftar, an evening meal that is conducted after a day of fasting.
The celebration of Iftar requires a prayer to Allah before receiving the meal.

“O Allah! it is for thee that I observe fast and it is with Thine blessing that I break it.”

Tone Deaf: Michelle Obama Wears $1,750 Dress In One Of The Poorest Countries In World

Unfortunately, Mrs. Obama did not seem to grasp the seriousness of the issue. The Washington Free Beacon reported that the First Lady wore a $1,750 Proenza Schouler floral wrap dress upon arriving in Marrakech. The average income per year for a Liberian is $370. In Morocco, paying for the designer garb would gobble up 60 percent of the average citizen’s yearly income.

Data from the World Bank shows Liberia’s average income is the fourth-lowest in the world. It makes little sense why Obama would waste taxpayer dollars to flaunt such opulence in a place of such abject poverty.
FLAUNTING IS WHAT SHE DOES
The Daily Mail estimated the full trip would rack up quite the bill as well: her airplane costs $11,684 per hour to operate. This will amount to $300,000 for the flights alone— then add on the First Lady’s security, staff and fashion expenses. Mrs. Obama’s trip to South Africa and Botswana in 2011 cost taxpayers $424,142, according to The Daily Mail.
“The average Liberian family lives on less than two dollars a day, and about 90 percent of the country has no access to electricity. During the Ebola epidemic, entire communities were devastated, infrastructure crumbled, and most schools closed for six months, which left girls particularly vulnerable. Teen pregnancy rates increased, and when schools did re-open, attendance rates dropped, in part because in Liberia, pregnant girls are strongly discouraged from attending school.”

AS AN AGING ROCKER I COULD NOT RESIST THROWING IN THIS LITTLE DITTY FROM CS&N

    What message does a “$1,750 Proenza Schouler floral wrap dress” send to the peasants? Meh. Let them wear burlap.

    Btw, dressing the Mooch in a Proenza Schouler is like spraying Reddi-Whip on a cow pattie.
