Can't afford alternatives? Is that how conservatives look at extended families? You never consider that they may love their mother and want to take care of her? Or that they want their mother in their daughters lives?
Why do Conservatives struggle so much with the concept of family? We know you have issues with gay families....but bitching about grandma is creeping me out
I don't speak for all conservatives. I speak for myself.
You can spin it any way you want. I'm telling you what I believe and have experienced. My mother lived with me with when could no longer care for herself, now I could have put her in a convalescent home as some people choose to do, but I chose to have a live in nurse there to tend to her because I had the money and could afford it.
Now had I been a poor Democrat then I would probably let the state i.e. the taxpayers provide for her needs. Much like what the Obama's are doing.
Don't be an ass. It has nothing to do with Mrs. Robinson's health. She is Michelle's immediate family. They were living together after she was widowed. She helps with the girls, and I doubt anybody is paying her to do so, as a nanny would be paid. My mom took care of my daughter at no charge. That's what family does. And family doesn't STOP being family just because the man of the house landed the highest office in the land.
I wasn't talking about her health. Reading comprehension isn't that hard. Try it sometimes!!
You idiots can't even understand what the issue here is. The issue isn't her living at the Whitehouse, the issue is who is paying for it!
If a family wishes to let their relatives live with them for whatever reason, I'm ok with that since I'm not footing the bills. But I am footing the bill for Obama's in-law and that where I take exception.
