Obamas Mother-in-Law to Move Into the White House By Rachel L. Swarns
Its official: Marian Robinson, the 71-year-old mother-in-law of President-elect Barack Obama, will be moving into the White House, transition officials said on Friday.
In fact, Mrs. Robinson is already in town, helping to smooth the familys personal transition as Mr. Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters prepare for new lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
She is here to help them get up and running, said Katie McCormick Lelyveld, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Obama. She will determine in the coming months whether or not she wants to stay in D.C. permanently.
In some ways, Mrs. Robinsons decision to move at least temporarily is no real surprise. During the presidential campaign, Mrs. Robinson was a family mainstay, caring for the Obama girls, Sasha and Malia, while their parents were on the road.

mama’s boy

"Smell like honkies in here."
Moving on up.
They finally got a piece of the pie.
How about the illegal aunt—is she moving in too?
At taxpayer’s expense?
(need I ask?)
This has UPN Sitcom written all over it...

Well it would be mother-in-law boy.
But so what the granny is there to help out with the kids.
the jokes will never end with this one
“The worst person I know”
“Mother in law (Mother in law)”
The First Mother in law must not believe that the white house staff can see to the needs of her daughter.
I dunno, but I did hear that zer0's half brother will have his own cardboard box out back.
I come home with my pay,
Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
She asks me what I made,
Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
She thinks her advice is a contribution,
But if she will leave that will be the solution
And don’t come back no more,
Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, mother-in-law
Doubtful SNL will touch it though....
“Who’s the cook?”
“I am, maam”
“Well, I’m the mother-in-law and I’m here to test the sherry for authentiveness”.
“Yes maam. I’ll have Pierre get a glass..”
“Never mind. I brought my own”
“A Flintstones jelly glass?”
“I have noticed you have a peculiar habit of talkin when you should be pourin. I hate that habit.”
Out of everything else that I hate about Obama, this is the one thing that doesn’t bother me.
Great joke material. However, there’s nothing wrong with a traditional family, and she will probably cost less than another nanny.
If she's living there to help care for the daughters, and is not getting a salary/compensation, then what's the problem?
Michelle Obama will have to travel as First Lady. It's either have her mom there or hire a nanny.
There's lots of reasons to be critical of the Obamas. This isn't one of 'em.
Don't know about moving in but she is coming to the inauguration. The lady apparently speaks only her local dialect and Swahili.
