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.

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.” ;)

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.

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

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 :(

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.

Make that his brother living in a hut.
So much for being his brother's keeper, eh?
