'Mama Kaye' Wilson, godmother to the Obama girls, is a low-profile member of president's inner...

For her long friendship with the Obamas, 65-year-old Kaye Wilson has been lavished with invitations to state dinners, Camp David and trips aboard Air Force One.

But the Olympia Fields woman — "Mama Kaye" to the president and other friends — is one of the least known people in his inner circle and seems to like it that way.

Her ties to the Obama family are many, and in some cases, uniquely hers.

I wonder why we so very rarely hear anything in the press about Obama’s live-in mother-in-law. I had almost forgotten about her before I read this

[livius]

Gads. That’s what’s representing the US abroad?

[dforest]

Good Heavens, another moocher vacation scoundrel.

Taxpayers have to pay for this crap.

She calls into the Laura Ingraham radio show once in a while.

Shouldn’t Moochelle be worrying about the woman’s weight problem instead of sticking her nose in our business?!

[goodnesswins]

This is about a “Godmother”...not the MIL....isn’t it?

[hal ogen]

Is there no end to the moochers and hangers-on that this nobama family has gathered in their “posse”? All of this is at taxpayer expense, of course. I guess the nobama’s see this as some sort of retribution or repiration from the “white man”.

And there’s Michelle in her tan boob-belt, bringing up the rear!

What’s interesting to me is that everyone interviewed
in this article belongs to some NGO, Community this,
Community that. Not a business person in the bunch,
all organizers or academics of some stripe.

spoke first of food when talking about Kaye Wilson, judging: "A fantastic cook. You'd want to get some of her apple-peach cobbler." He is with The Emmaus Community, a nondenominational Christian church in Chicago Heights. Others tout her dinner rolls. And when Family Circle magazine asked Michelle Obama for a cookie recipe, she volunteered a shortbread cookie recipe calling for a splash of Amaretto, crediting Kaye Wilson.

Are these wimmen posting FDA calorie counts on all this fat-laden food?

Oh yeah!

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

what curdles me is “Mama Kaye” didn’t want to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom afraid of “spilling coffee on the Gettysburg Address”.

what a bunch of chicago crooks,cronies and crack-heads and GRIFTERS

MamaKaye is a Grifter-her boy don’t win 2012-you be sure there will be a book penned by her concerning her repugnance of what she saw & did, i.e., her public confession.

My, what a lovely example to set for the country, real homeless people representing the country.

It certainly looks as if she tastes everything she cooks too.
