Cracks me up how they act like Boko Haram is some kind of new phenomenon, anyone who reads this site has known all about them and the atrocities they’ve been committing, mainly against Christians, for years.

Via Daily Mail:

President Barack Obama is punting his administration’s outrage over Nigerian terror group Boko Haram’s violence to his wife Michelle, giving her the duty of delivering the White House’s weekly radio address on Saturday.

The move is an unusual one but not unprecedented: Laura Bush gave a similar address in 2001 when she was first lady, denouncing the treatment of women in Afghanistan.

Mrs. Obama has also joined the president in a few radio addresses, but Saturday will mark her first solo appearance. She will also reportedly include a Mother’s Day message.

Boko Haram, whose name is a native translation of the phrase ‘Western education is sinful,’ is responsible for numerous mass-slaughter bombings and kidnapped hundreds of young girls in April.

The resulting international furor has brought out everything from threats of military incursions to new Twitter hashtags.

In a photo seen around the world, the first lady posed Thursday with a hand-written sign reading #BringBackOurGirls.

‘Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families,’ she wrote in a message that accompanied the picture.
