Have to agree. This has the signature of unsourced troll gossip nonsense. Who cares anyway. Kitty fodder.

The Obama White House is abuzz with talk of witchcraft by first grandmother, 72-year-old Marian Robinson, who lives in the White House residence. A close friend of Michelle Obama says the president is furious at his mother-in-law after learning that she was practicing Santeria, an African spirit cult, in the White House.
"The president is quite upset about this on two different levels. First, he is a committed Christian, no matter what his critics say about Reverend Wright. He is adamant that Sasha and Malia be raised with Christian influences. He does not want them to be involved with African voodoo. And secondly, he is worried about the political fallout if his enemies get wind of this. Rev. Wright was bad enough, but this would be political suicide," a close friend of Michelle’s confided.
Religion took center stage during the campaign last year when videos showed the Rev. Jeremiah Wright shouting "God damn America." Obama was forced to distance himself from the since-retired pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where he worshiped for 20 years. Many people were shocked by the videos and questioned Obama’s fitness to be president. Since taking office, Obama has avoided worshiping in public and now prefers the chapel at the presidential retreat at Camp David.
This is how it happened. Marian Robinson became increasingly frustrated as her husband, Fraser Robinson, was hobbled by multiple sclerosis in the late 1980s. The family pastor prayed with her and counseled her, but "she turned to Santeria in a desperate hope," Michelle’s friend said. "Michelle put her foot down when she heard that her mother took her dad to ceremonies where they did spells and trances, and sacrificed animals, chickens and goats I think. But Marian was desperate and kept going anyway, even when her husband was to sick to go with her. I don’t think the president knew anything about this earlier because it was before they met. Michelle and Craig (her brother) wanted to close the book on this and never talked about it again after their father died in 1991."
The first grandma appears to be worried about her health now, even though doctors pronounce her in good shape. "Marian invited an old friend from Chicago to visit her at the White House, and she performed a Santeria ceremony in the residence. When Michelle saw this woman, a voodoo priestess she recognized her from when her father was sick, she had a fit. When she told the president about it, he blew up and said, ‘No voodoo in the White House. Absolutely. I don’t care what you call it.’ As far as I know, it only happened once," the friend said.
The president was "totally in favor" when his mother-in-law moved into the White House as a live-in babysitter for 11-year-old Malia and 8-year-old Sasha. Obama reportedly told Michelle that her mother will have to go back to Chicago if she does not "stop this witchcraft mumbo-jumbo immediately" and ordered the Secret Service to not allow Marian’s friend to return to the White House.
WOW considering I had to find out that John Edwards lied about fathering his love child by rading the NATIONAL ENQUIRER its no wonder the msm actively covers everything that could be considered negative about all Liberals in government.
So which is the reliable news source you would suggest I go to, to validate if this is true?
This is it's third posting. One is a Zot thread and the second was pulled. See post 38 noobie.

To get away from Michelles's mom.
I stand corrected. Now Mary Todd Lincoln was probably a very tragic figure indeed. In today’s terminology she would be considered disturbed, and husband Abe had issues too... chronically depressed in today’s terminology...but he did get us thru the Civil War as a Union...was it Elenor Roosevelt that channeled? Doggone I think one of the first ladies in 20th century did.
So, he doesn't want to acknowledge and accept his roots? Another self-loathing black man. Such a tragedy.
I remember it from Alvin and the Chipmunks I think.
Self-ping.
Hey Obama. What’s the difference between a mother-in-law and a bucket of shot?
Right, So explain why the John Edwards affair and the lies about fathering the child were only news found in the tabloids?
The media is dead and you want to wait for reliable sources?
Give me a break. If the media would actually do its job and report and investigate the Liberals then I would agree with you but until I see the MSM do an actual indept REAL hardball report on anyone on the left I will be forced to belive things like this....
You keep right on looking through those rose colored glasses polyanna and when this story eventually pans out to be true you can Apologize to me then.
Wonder how PETA is going to feel about all this?
Yep, vintage 1958; I had the 45 (anyone remember what THAT was?). Of course, the young-un's might remember it from the recent 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' movie...

The Edwards/Hunter story had names, dates and witnesses. This story has.......you. And it's own Zot thread.
That's what I'm here for.
If anything like this was published in the Bush administration, it wouldn’t matter that it was obviously misinformation (like John Ashcroft demanding naked statues be covered or Hoover was a transvestite), it would make the rounds of the late night shows and remain in the public psyche forever.
It’s totally unsourced and the thread should be pulled.
I don’t believe it.
The writing is border line moronic, tabloidesque.
It’s just the kind of crap the left wants the critics of this administration to run with. It makes us look like we are a bunch of dimwits and fools.
No one in this White House would ever repeat this story IF it were true, which it isn’t.
The source is Illinois and seems mostly to put out there the notion that Sero is a Christian after all. Totally faked.
(snort) ... and to get a cheese burger with Joe Biden.
