South Side mom becomes 'first grandma'

You can call it the Camelot effect or maybe it's just that people are nosy. Whatever it is, people can't stop searching for information about the Obama family, not just the immediate first family, but the extended family as well.

Once Carol E. Lee at Politico got the scoop that Michelle Obama's mother would be moving to Washington, D.C., searches for "michelle obama's mother" showed up, prompting us to wonder about Marian Robinson -- the new "first grandma" -- and her role in the Obama household.

Robinson's main job during Barack Obama's two-year-long campaign for the presidency was to make sure the Obamas' young daughters, Malia and Sasha, were taken care of while mom and dad were on the campaign trail.

According to a Boston Globe article from early this year, duties included upholding family rules (8:30 p.m. bedtime, healthy food) and getting the girls to the appointments on their daily schedules.

OK, here we go. Next it'll be the whole tribe from Kenya

[Guenevere]

And she gets to move into the White House!...that has to be a first!

[TexasCajun]

It's no secret which member of the Typical Black Family wears the pants in their families.

Wow, you must really be a loser if you have to bring your Mother In Law to the WH to run things...........

[ThreePuttinDude]

LOL, I was thinking the same thing

It’s “Miss Lillian” all over again.

I keep tellin’ y’all that this is going to be a complete re-do of The Carter Years, so get yourselves ready, LOL!

We’ll have that brother from Kenya relocated from his hut to play the role of “Billy Carter.” ;)

I doubt it...

Thus, a caution to U.S. sponsors that by signing Form I-864, you are agreeing “to provide the sponsored immigrant(s) whatever support is necessary to maintain the sponsored immigrant(s) at an income that is at least 125 percent of the Federal poverty guidelines.” (See attached Affidavit of Support Form I-864 at 4).

Somehow I can't see Barry being that generous.

Not with his own money, anyway.

I'm starting to think the rules for these guys are going
to change everything we've been taught.

Sad to say, our grand kids might will look at this time in their life
as the “Good Old Days”. I'm sure our grandparents thought the same.

Maybe he should be moved to Madistan, to keep an eye on things..LOL

[Retired Chemist]

When they start putting the Camelot label on the Obama family, does that mean he’s going to be a womanizer like JFK?

[ThreePuttinDude]

So his aunty in South Boston should send her bills to 0bami

I’m just sayin’

[ThreePuttinDude]

Lets ask Larry Sinclair...LOL

[Diana in Wisconsin]

We have enough indigent here, suckin’ up every spare tax dollar as it is, thank you!

If you build it, they will come. :)

[usmcobra]

Not even his brother George?

[mewzilla]

FWIW, I think the fact that Barry left his uncle living in a hut and his aunt in public housing should've spoken volumes to the voters.

But apparently his voters had their fingers in their ears :(

[Bon mots]

Won't be long...

[PROUDAMREP]

What does the child care of these children have to do with how our country is run? I personally hope the grandmother is the one looking after them. Who would you better trust? And no, I am not a troll, but am a true conservative who thinks the welfare of children comes before politics. Leave the children out of this.

[mewzilla]

Make that his brother living in a hut.

So much for being his brother's keeper, eh?
