I guess for some, family is not so important, unless they are targets of the opposing view.
We are talking about conservatives here
They consider the elderly to be a burden
You are making an incorrect assertion that is nonsense and irrational.
Why Does Michelle Obamas Mother Live at the White House?
Why not? And there is no evidence that mama is being mean to the staff.
Conservatives claim she "barks"

Sorry...it is a fact

Conservatives prefer their elderly out of sight and out of mind. They are less of a bother that way

Oh goody!! So...when hubby needs 24/7 care, that means y'all will pay for it? Thank you all in advance! After all, it's no big deal.
In face, why don't we all pay for every senator's and government high officials parent(s) ? No biggie, right?
Seriously....who else would complain about a grandmother living with her Grandkids?You are making an incorrect assertion that is nonsense and irrational.

I don't see that. It may make you feel better about your opinions to think that and spew your nonsense around, but in the end...nonsense. Maybe your liberal buddies can pat you on the back or you can get stephanie into a flamewar...have fun with that.

How do you know the staff at their hotel in China are conservatives?
JBoth our mothers live on the property with us. Family is important.
There are a ton of empty rooms in that place and added cost is minimal. It is cheaper and better than a nanny. I don't care for Obama much, but certainly don't begrudge the first children their grandmother. I'm sure it is difficult enough growing up so publicly and with half the country hating your family. Any comfort we can extend to them, we should, IMO. No matter what you feel for their parents, they are children, and as a patriot, they are your and my first children.
As for MIL's behavior, if you've ever had a parent live with you, you know you can't control them. You love them and hope they don't embarrass you too much, especially in front of your friends lol.
The kids are hardly infants requiring 24/7 care.
"Nobody ever told us the president and his wife are charged for every meal, as well as incidentals like dry cleaning, toothpaste, and other toiletries."
Nancy Reagan
So much for Republicans being the 'family values' party.
oh dear gawd spare us the dramatics.

Only Conservatives are claiming it
Housings included, food will run you extra.
Thats the deal we make with presidents when they move into the White House.
The government picks up the tab for state functions, but when it comes to family meals, theyre on their own.
Groceries are delivered from various Secret Service-approved commercial suppliers, and household staff members fill in the basics with runs to butcher shops, supermarkets, and farmers markets, with a varied rotation for added security. Toothpaste, shaving cream, Tylenoltheyre added to the tab too. At the end of each month, the bills are tallied and submitted to Mr. and Mrs. Obama.
Past first families have opted to purchase groceries but to have their family meals prepared by the White House kitchen staffan executive chef, executive pastry chef, and four sous-chefs paid for with taxpayer dollars. The Obamas chose to bring in Sam Kass as their personal chef, and pay his salary themselves. Kass has been cooking for the Obamas since their Chicago days, and by now he knows their likes and dislikes so well that he rarely consults with them on menu planning. Hes also notoriously tight-lipped about their eating habits saying little more than we have very balanced meals, and that the family walks the walk with Michelle Obamas healthful food initiative for the country.
But you had enough of "a life" to devote roughly the same amount of time to post that. Busy, busy person you are...
You: almost 37 posts per day; me, less than 11 posts per day
Do you keep a "life" chart where you spend half your day plotting that info and calculating what that means to you and not one other soul in the universe?

Yea, you right wing turds love to talk about 'family values'. Just don't BE a family.

Room But Not Board: Presidents have always paid for White House groceries

Not the best source, but there are many other sources that verify this. So what is the cost of Grandma living in the WH? Again, not a big deal. Just psuedo-conservatives shooting blanks.
Who is paying Granny's bill in China?
Just askin'.
