Michelle Obama to African youths: Yes, you can (at US taxpayer's expense)

Michelle Obama to African youths: Yes, you can (at US taxpayer's expense): "Obama, who is traveling with her mother and two daughters, drew on the leaders of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and the civil rights movement in the United States as an example for the younger generation to follow.

'It is because of them that we are able to gather here today... It is because of them that I stand before you as First Lady of the United States of America,' she said to applause.

'That is the legacy of the independence generation, the freedom generation. And all of you — the young people of this continent — you are the heirs of that blood, sweat, sacrifice, and love.'
