That has to suck for Obama.
BTW, should this be the theme song at the inaguaration?
A Mother-in-Law in the White HouseBy Michael D. Shear
The White House will have an in-law suite.
Marian Robinson, Barack Obama's mother-in-law, will be living with the first couple at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the transition confirmed today.
Robinson, 71, was a regular feature on the Obama campaign trail, helping her daughter -- the new first lady -- to take care of the Obamas's two girls, Sasha and Malia.
Now, as Obama assumes the presidency, Robinson will be help make the move from Chicago a bit easier. It is unclear how long Robinson will be living there.
"Mrs. Robinson will be coming with the family to help the girls get acclimated, and she will determine in the coming months whether or not she wants to stay in DC permanently," said Katie McCormick Lelyveld, a spokesperson for the presidential transition.
It's not the first time that a president's mother-in-law will be around the White House. Laura Bush's mother, Jenna Welch, often spent weeks at a time living there, especially around holidays, according to a spokeswoman.
