In stump speech, Michelle Obama evicts mother from White House
The Daily Caller ^ | May 1, 2012 | Neil Munro

First lady Michelle Obama has figuratively evicted her 74-year-old mother from the White House in an apparent effort to boost her appeal to middle-class voters.

The eviction notice came April 30 when the first lady told fellow Democrats at a fundraiser that she shared their values. “My family, we lived in a little bitty apartment on the South Side of Chicago over my aunt’s house [and] my mom still lives in that house to this day.”

However, the first lady’s mother, Marian Robinson, has lived in the White House since March 2009, when Essence Magazine announced her move from Chicago to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

“She will stay as long as her son-in-law and daughter want her to stay there,” Angela Burt-Murray, the editor of Essence Magazine, said in an April 2009 “Today” show interview.

White House officials have largely kept Robinson out of sight, and she makes relatively few public appearances. One recent exception came on April 9, when she publicly read ”The Rainbow Fish” at the 2012 White House Easter Egg Roll.

The first lady’s effort to distance herself from her mother’s White House stay comes as both she and President Barack Obama try to stress their middle-class roots, amid a stalled economy and high unemployment.

Remember what happened to Barry’s grandmother after the last time he visited her?

Do you, anyone on your list (or anyone reading this post) know of any research done in regards to Michelle’s Mom’s generation of the family (both sides)? The reason I ask is that Jesse Jackson was a known member of the BPN (Blackstone Peoples Nation in Chicago, which morphed into the El Rukns, etc...) and JJ has a half-brother with the last name of Robinson who was sentenced for murder in relation to the BPN.

I’m approaching this from a little different angle than I’ve seen before, but that doesn’t mean I’m not duplicating someone else’s research. If this line is a no-go I don’t want to waste my time (or anyone else’s for that matter). :)

Search away. I have seen photos of Mooch-ell with Farakhan’s family, all around that Rev Wright social set. You’ll find plenty of stories. Such as the first wopper in this 5 things about Mrs R in People mag in Jan 2009- She would not “premanently” move into thr White House. Just to get the girls settled. HA! 3 1/2 years later, she’ still there. OK. It depends on what you mean by “permanent”. Like the travel office, until Hitlery arrived that is.

This little tale of 2 years past - Obamas attend a barbeque “around the corner” from their house at a Marty Nesbitt’s home which is across the street from Farrakhan’s home. The Fruit of Islam elite guard wants to take on the SS and media pool. I wish we could have seen that titanic duel. http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/05/30/obama-in-chicago-secret-service-standoff-with-farrakhans-fruit/print/
