It looks like President Barack Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson move into the White House will be permanent.
The widowed Mrs. Robinson lived her entire life in Chicago. While there was some resistance at first, now she has become “quite the lady about town” President Obama said.
“They’re dragging me with them, and I’m not comfortable with that,” Robinson, 72, told CBS’s “Sunday Morning” last year. “But I’m doing exactly what you do: You do what needs to be done.”
Robinson takes Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8, to and from school just about every day and enjoys going shopping on her own.Obama said. “The nice thing is that she just walks out the gate and goes.”
Michelle Obama recently said her mother seems content in her new home.
“She wasn’t completely kicking and screaming, but it was clear that her preference would be to remain in her old life, and that this new White House, all this stuff, she could just hear about,” the first lady said. “So I’m happy that she’s really settled in and feels like this is home for her, as well,” she said.
