Other than a scant mention occasionally in the press, there does not seems to be much interest in pursuing the story line on Michelle Obama's mother going with them to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue...that is rather odd. First, is this a historic first, or are there other presidents who have brought their mother's or mother in law into the White House? What does the law say about this...is there proper protocol that must be adhered to?
As example, who is going to pay for the food that Michelle's mother will consume during the four years that she resides in the White House? Considering the quality of the food she will be eating, would not be unreasonable to place a $50 per day per diem on those delicacies. Over the course of a four year presidency, that amounts to $73,000 just in food expenses...is it fair that we taxpayers have to pick up that tab?
Will Michelle's mother have her bed turned down, her room cleaned for her, will she be waited on hand and foot? If she goes out, or travels will she require Secret Service protection, and if so who pays for that bill. Will she be allowed to travel on Air Force One? Does OBama have to reimburse the government when she does? Will she be allowed to travel with Pesident Obama and/or First Lady Michelle Obama on official state business, even though she has no official function...or do the Obama's intend on giving her A JOB that we have to pay the tab on, and just what is that job...further, what are her qualifications, and where in th forumla does nepotism go to far?
I think America deserves some answers from the Obama's, rather than their staff simply informing America..."Michelle's mother will be going to the White House with them." Notice that was not a piece of news let out DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
