On Friday, the transition team of President-elect Obama confirmed that his 71-year-old mother-in-law would be moving, at least temporarily, into the grand residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Obama has said he would be delighted to have his wife's mother, Marian Robinson, join the first family in Washington . . . And she has often teased her daughter, Michelle Obama, and the president-elect about their household rules for her granddaughters. Bedtime at 8:30 p.m.? "That's ridiculous," Robinson told The Boston Globe last year, suggesting that was too early. Television for only an hour? "That's just not enough time," she said.

While Robinson has been the family mainstay, she has also prized her independence. She chose to work as a secretary, though her parents had preferred she become a teacher. She ran the 50- and 100-yard dashes in the Illinois senior games when she was well into her 60s . . .
As for the organic foods the Obamas favor? "That's not my thing," said Robinson, who enjoys salty fried foods and dismissed efforts to make such dishes more healthful. "If you're going to have fried chicken," she said, "have fried chicken."
I LOVE IT! A thorn in Obama’s side!

Good to hear she is a normal human being who actually eats food instead of her son in law who eats grass and wild flowers. I think this will be good for the kids and of course the daughter will love the idea of Mom being close by. I am sure that daughter at 15 did not appreciate Mom like today.
perhaps they will let her reside in the Lincoln bedroom ?
How apropos
He’s whipped.
Perhaps not, they seem close.
Does Barry pick that part of the “tab” up or not. Another “change”, as promised. What a freaking joke! Barf alert!
Well, if that’s the case he’s not alone. Note post #114, on the same subject, from yesterday.

mum in law moving in, every mans dream.
That harridan Michelle must have been brought up by a lovely woman. /s
Barack is surely aware of all the bus routes.
Sure, her family moves into the White House, while his brother still lives in a hut and his Aunt lives in the illegal alien projects.
And that time when all those female cycles get in sync ... gonna give him grey hair!!
Body Language #1 -
When two people sit on a couch - how far they are apart physically tells you the whole story!
when do all the “cousins,uncles and aunts show up......Watch out Robison will be looking for a pension..
“Obama’s mother-in-law joins family in D.C.”
Anybody feel sorry for this poor fellow? I suspect there will be a lot of travel scheduled for the prez.
I always thought Mybelle looked a lot like the Godfather of Soul and now I see why. Her mamma is James Brown’s twin sister.
God Bless America!
Mrs Robinson is the girls’ nanny - and always has been. Of course she is needed in the White House. We can’t expect The First Lady to get her own children off to school!
Cute. What other family members are we going to have to pay for?
so the Whitehouse is Section-8 housing now???
