GABORONE, Botswana (AP) — Michelle Obama is in Botswana to begin the second leg of a weeklong goodwill visit to Africa.
The U.S first lady arrived Friday morning for a full day of events.
She is scheduled to help paint a mural at a clinic that treats more than 4,000 children infected with HIV/AIDS.
Mrs. Obama will also eat lunch with women leaders from different generations and pay a courtesy call on President Ian Khama.
In the evening, she and family members traveling with her will have dinner at a nature park that is home to giraffes, elephants, zebras, baboons and other animals.
The first lady’s mission began last Monday in South Africa. She, daughters Malia and Sasha, her mother and a niece and nephew return Monday to the White House.
Submitting your tip... please wait!

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” (also, Luke 6:41-42)

Jun. 25, 2011 at 10:52pmYou guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You’re pathetic. The First Lady, a representative of the United States goes into a country, talks to the people in that country and eats the local food. She endears herself to the people of that country by eating their food, dancing to their music or otherwise showing appreciation for their culture.
And you ridicule her. You mock Michelle Obama, who goes to this country as a representative of the United States following local customs and eating local food. What would you have her do? Refuse the food and lecture them on healthy eating? Yeah, that would sure give them a good impression of the US!
You know that. You just hate Michelle Obama. Just admit it. Let’s just drop the pretensions.
