All I have to say is....if my son were to be President, I d*mn sure would love to live in the White House!

Maybe MIL will take some of the "haughty" out of the kids!

Because, like I said, if it was a white president, no one would “wonder” that. Why would anyone wonder that at all? He’s the President, this is his family, and they deserve the protection. Period. Did people “wonder” who was paying for the staff who assisted all previous First Families with their pets? No. Because we know the answer to that question. We also know who is paying for protection of the MIL, so why “wonder” other than to to be finding something negative to say at every turn.

Thank you for helping me clear up why I thought she looked familiar! HA! Great comparison...

But they haven’t worn out all the chitterling and Section-8 jokes yet. And nobody has gotten around to posting a photo of the Beverly Hillbillies in black face yet. Don’t stop them now. They’re on a roll.

I have no idea what a cracker is.

I plan to give this guy just as much slack as the left gave GWB, EVEN BEFORE DAY ONE. (Also a good place to roll out new tag line. Sorry if any kumbayah types are offended).

As for all these RINOs on TV hoping that The One is successful, well I hope he's an abject failure at carrying out most of the policies he articulated during the campaign, especially during the primaries.

If the Kenyan lived with his brother we could call him King Hut!

Is this the website for traditional values? Have I accidentally logged on to another board?

I think it is WONDERFUL that the Obamas are bringing Grandma. It's not like the place isn't big enough.

geesh

I guess their Chicago mansion wasn’t big enough?

Grandma had her own house in Chicago, where she lived and worked until she helped take care of the kids while the Obamas were on the road. Apparently, she's an independent-minded woman.

Now, she's moving to be close to the kids. Frankly, I think those little girls are darn lucky that Grandma is going to be around.

SOMEBODY has to raise the children while Michelle is off Revolutionizing America.

I picture MIL harping into Obama’s ear on all his major decisions. From where to place the couch to what to do with healthcare.

I don’t blame Granny. I am curious as to why Mybelle needs help with the kids now but didn’t when she had a fulltime job. I know that the Whitehouse sits on 18 acres and has 132 rooms. I don’t know how big the residence is though. Do you?

Even the White House isnt big enough for a mother in law.

Hey, I don’t know about the Obamas previous childcare arrangements. I just think that it’s great the kids will have a third person to come home to after school. Like it or not, Michelle Obama is first lady, and will be gone sometimes, and apparently prefers the kids to come home to Grandma than a nanny or servant.

This is an utterly fascinating site about the White House. You can see the actual floor plans, click on particular rooms, and see pictures of the rooms during various administrations.
