Reports tonight are stating Michelle's mother will be moving to DC/White House to help with the transition of her grandaughter's to their new home. I normally would not have a problem with this. Sarah Palin and her husband had so much grief over who would be there for their 5 children if Sarah won VP. I just wonder how the public would have felt if a family member moved in to DC to help the Palin's.

So if you normally wouldn't have had a problem with it, why do you have a problem with it now?

 

Because some people were curious who would be there for Palin's kids?

Nope - because everyone (the media) was giving Sarah and her family such a hard time on who would be there for their children since they have five (not all are young). They have a Dad who is at home. Just curious since Michelle doesn't hold office.

Woud she have come along for the ride to help them transition to a new house across town from their old one? Probably not.

 

I am already sick of hearing about the kids and what school they are going to, what they are eating for lunch at that school....what dress Michelle is wearing to he dentist...and so on and so forth.....and I'm tired of listening to Palin whine .....oh it's going to be a long 4 years:irked:

Michelle's mother has been living with them for two years already, helping with the children during the campaign. I definitely think this is nothing big, and normal. I also think it's a wiser move than hiring a nanny.

Which mean that, yes, had they moved across town, Michelle's mom would have moved for the transition also.

I see this as a non-story. Grandma is helping out. It's a very normal thing to do. (But I also understand the reference to the double standard in regards to the Palin family.)

Well it's good to know that Grandma has been hanging around way before the big move:thumb:

Are the taxpayers going to feed her?

:idunno: Probably Grandma will go down to the local Wendy's & get her own chili when she finishes helping with the girls.

Our awesome tax dollars at work. I knew they would get me somehow.

Actually, just this evening, I was reading a story in National Geographic that said the president is billed for all of the food he and his family eat in the White House. Just like in a hotel, or restaurant; with the exception being state dinners or special events. The story said that most administrations complain about how high the prices are. They are also billed for their dry cleaning and laundry.

Very interesting...I never knew this. Makes sense though. I have to pay for my food, dry cleaning, and laundry. So should the first family!!
