Marian Robinson, the mother of former first lady Michelle Obama, has died, according to a statement from the Obama and Robinson families. She was 86. […]

Robinson lived with the Obamas during their time at the White House and was often spotted at events with the first family, including handing out goodie bags to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. […]

A native of Chicago — where she returned after the Obamas left the White House — Robinson was married to Fraser Robinson, and the pair had two children, Michelle and Craig. Fraser Robinson died in 1991 after a long struggle with multiple sclerosis. …

I’m sure they were wonderful people, to raise up a gem of a son like Mooseshell Obonga.

I don’t know how much of that story I actually believe.

What can I say about someone I thought had already died?
Well, she kept a low profile and knew how to stay out of the news cycle!

[No name given]

There’s that.

[kiryandil]

Probably didn't want to answer any awkward questions about her sons.  

[Vendome]

That’s too bad.

Only one thing worse than losing Mom.

Rest in Peace

Her ‘Sons”? But, I thought.... Oh fiddlesticks.
There is a short list of things we will never know about for sure. Knowwhatimsayin?

I despise the 0bamas, but condolences to them. I wish them comfort in their time of grief.

[rlmorel]

That is about the right tenor.

[End Times Sentinel]

There are few people I loathe more than Moosh, but those who celebrate the grief of an enemy are amongst them.
I have no idea how she raised such an ugly, hateful, destructive individual, but for now, let her RIP.

I despise the 0bamas, but condolences to them. I wish them comfort in their time of grief.

Same. They are among my least favorite people in the world, but I will offer up a prayer for their comfort and strength during this loss.

May Marian Robinson rest in peace.

Of course they kept her close during the dager years of Øbowel’s regime.

Did not want to do the Fuddy or Hussien grandmother treatment of her.

Things that make you go hmm.

[waterhill]

And.....?

Lost my mom 20 years ago. I’m 53.

So what’s worse??
