Matriarch-In-Chief Is Loving Life Outside The Midwest
LatestAlthough Michelle Obama‘s mother, Marian Robinson, moved to D.C. to help take care of the girls while their parents were off saving the world, she’s now finding that D.C. is more fun that she expected.
She entertains visitors from Chicago. She attends White House dinners and concerts hosted by her daughter, the first lady, Michelle Obama. She dines at local restaurants and delights in events at the Kennedy Center, where she often sits in the president’s box and chats with performers.
In fact, Mrs. Robinson, 71, is so busy these days that the Obamas hired a baby sitter to watch their two daughters one evening because the nation’s first grandmother had plans.
So much for all that sexist snickering about Barack getting hen-pecked in the White House — Marian Robinson is way too awesome for that.
