These are the first pictures of Barack Obama inside the White House with his British stepmother.
Taken the day he was sworn in as President, they show him giving Kezia Obama and the rest of his extended family a tour of his new home. Embraced by Mrs Obama, who travelled to Washington DC from her council house in Bracknell, the President proudly posed in an official reception for the family.

He is also surrounded by his half-brother Abongo, his sister-in-law, niece, nephew and other relatives, who all travelled from Kenya and were in the VIP enclosure for his inauguration in January. Mrs Obama, 66, who was married to the President’s late father, also named Barack, when they lived in Kenya, wore a traditional African outfit made in Tanzania especially for the big day....

Two questions:
1) Why'd they wait so long to release this picture?
2) Doesn't Obama have any caucusian relatives, i.e. his mother's cousin's daughter, the grandson of the sister of his (white) grandfather?
They’re under the “Bama bus”...
British grandmother. Travelled from Kenya. Does not compute.
Blood relation or someone his grandfather married after his father’s birth?
WTH is a “Council House”
Is his “british” stepmother on welfare, too?
Oh wait, stepmother. That really doesn’t compute. His father was a bigamist. His marriage to his mother was a sham.
“Why’d they wait so long to release this picture”
BECAUSE 2/3 OF THE WOMEN ARE COVERED HEAD TO FOOT IN BURQAS!
EVEN THE LITTLE GIRL! IT’S SICK! They probably had their clitoris scooped out with a red hot poker too
Damn. The first family in burqas.
THE FIRST FAMILY IN BURQAS!
that would be paternal
his maternal grandmother sleeps with the fishes
ah yes. if i ever travel to the white house, i’ll make sure to wear jeans and dress my kids in hoodies.
The answer to #2 is he wouldn’t claim them. He has shown with his associations and actions as president he has nothing but contempt for white people.
Geez, the guy is wearing jeans and one of the kids is wearing a hoodie. Could we please raise the standards of dress when visiting the whitehouse and taking photos with the president?
The lack of diversity is stunning.
Oh that's right. The typical racist white woman?
The lady next to the mother is wearing Muslim garb.
As is the man and the daughter.
Did he even know any of these people before his 20's or 30's? Did they spend 1/10^6 of the time his white grands did raising him? Did THEY put him on the path to knowledge and power (Columbia/Harvard)? For the man who is supposed to be "post-racial", they're trying so hard to make him the Black Messiah.
C’mon — there’s no jerry curl in the WH shot. If you’re going to use screen caps from Coming to America, they should be relevant. :)
Next White House resident: Terminix (Please)
LOL!
It's basically the British equivalent of our Section 8 housing.
I really don’t approve of the headline at this link.
JMHO
As I understand it, his mother’s side were anti-American lefties and apparently known as such. Perhaps it would not be wise to bring them out of the through Congress.
What’s wrong with it? I think it’s fitting. She does, in that pic, the way her face is all scrunched up.
I am at a loss for words here.
Travis....the woman is 86 years old. The headline is a cheap shot. A “Monster”? No....a very old woman. Geesh.
“2) Doesn’t Obama have any caucusian relatives, i.e. his mother’s cousin’s daughter, the grandson of the sister of his (white) grandfather?”
Their whiteness sickitates him and michelle ma bell.
lost part of the sentence: ....it would not be wise to bring them out of the closet until he gets his socialistic programs through Congress
LOL.
The only person in that picture that looks even remotely like the O-boy is the little nephew in front of him.
I can see why you would feel that way, but I don’t agree.
His step brother Obongo was in wrangler jeans of some sort.. gads one would think O would of got him a pair of $8.00 dress slacks from wall mart
They just keep right on lying.
BTTT
Probably usually wears a burkha, but for this day they put her in "traditional" African clothing?
Wow...step mom wore an outfit made especially for the “big day.” I wonder if that dress will be in the Smithsonian, too.
Glad to see Abongo dressed appropriately. Jeans?? On inauguration day?
Now I know where MO gets her fashion sense from.
They all make me sick.
oh my!....:D glad I didn’t have anything but spit in my mouth...:))
nothing unusual here. just be happy they bathed. dems are allergic to soap (don’t think so? go to san francisco and/or berkley)
Are those two kids in the picture Obama’s daughters?
Michelle sure dressed them strange for this picture and it’s just a shame what she did to their hair.
I guess it’s just the culture.
yep!
No comment...until I get back from the Post Office.
That’s the first sofa I’ve seen that is . . . racist . . . and funny.
Note to self: Do not stand under the double-candle sconce when having your picture taken with the President if you don’t want to look like you have brass antlers.
Never mind; I'll do it for you...
An antimacassar is a small cloth placed over the backs or arms of chairs, or the head or cushions of a sofa, to prevent soiling of the permanent fabric.
The name is attributable to macassar oil, an unguent for the hair commonly used in the early 19th century — the poet Byron called it, "thine incomparable oil, Macassar."
The fashion for oiled hair became so widespread in the Victorian and the Edwardian period that housewives began to cover the arms and backs of their chairs with washable cloths to preserve the fabric coverings from being soiled. Around 1850, these started to be known as antimacassars. They were also installed in theatres, from 1865.
The kid in the red hoodie looks like he just got an old fashioned ass whoopin’
The picture, properly captioned, should be “Scene from, “Coming to America”, starring Eddie Murphy. I can’t take credit for the pic.
