I am so happy and so proud Americans finally chose the best man for the job of President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.

I love his family! I think the Obama girls will continue to be adorable and smart. They are a joy to watch.

While I support public education, I also support the Obamas right to choose. He cannot jeopardize the safety of his kids to satisfy what other people think he should do. I think the girls will attend Sidewell Friends because the school is equipped to handle the safety and security of the girls while providing excellent education opportunities. The Obamas have done a great job with their kids without our input, and think they can continue to handle it. I think having the granny near is a good idea, even if she’s not actually living in the white house. It may be better to have the granny living in a “regular” home to provide the girls with a regular lifestyle outside of the formalility of the white house.

aww I see my comment didn’t make it, guess because I said this is another stupid question on the so called future first family. who cares if granny moves in. this is the dumest one of all so far.

Moving in the mother is no big deal, Obama is going to set up a basketball goal somewhere on the south portico. What else do you expect?

Let me get this straight. You have people all over the world trying to submit their dog to the first family because they want their dog to be the first dog. But you have people that have problems with GRANDMA being there for the kid?

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!!

who better to help out with the girls than their grandmother? Better her than paid nanny or staff….I could not have done it when my kids were small without my parents being loving caretakers when I had to travel for work. As Hillary said, “it takes a village.” This is especially true for working women, and being First Lady will be very demanding.

I think Obama is should send his kids to private school for security reasons alone. I think is is now irrelevant to dislike him, he is the president elect, he won. I like the fact that Michelle’s mother will be living with them. If they care that much about their family and it is that important to them, maybe mine will be important to him too. Kind of like a common ground. I like that fact she quit her job, no matter her education, to support her husband, that means her marriage is important to her, as mine is to me. Being a mother is important to her as it is to me. I feel if some one is in office that is more like me and others like me, he will work harder for all Americans in my situation. I know he got my vote.

I Cant believe how the people voted for him didnt see through his lies especially when he slipped up about his religion he IS NOT a Christian he IS A MUSLIM and why did he lie? He is a fake and whoever goes to church read the book of revelations and you will see who Obama really is he is the ANTICHRIST and he wants to mark us with a stupid chip well u know what if i had to choose death or the chip I would choose death Im not going to hell unlike the people who voted for him

that as one of the dummest questions, but this is the dumest of all so far. who cares that granny moves in or not. won’t they be rich enough to have nannies, why can’t mrs obammy raise them herself. yea, I’m not happy about the election at all.

I can understand a lot of people are not happy Obama won the election, but let’s face it, the USA and the world became a much worse place under a Republican government. I guess par the course for politics, it was “time” for a change, and really, it was a no-brainer considering how many Republicans crossed the floor to choose between Obama and McCain. As for the children attending private school in DC, again a no-brainer, especially since they already were in private schooling in Chicago. I think the Obama family has a lot to be concerned about security wise if that assassination attempt before the election was any indication. The Obamas need all the security and help they can get in DC, and it is wonderful to read that they will have Michelle’s mum to help out. Extended family is always a blessing, especially in stressful situations which the next four years are bound to be for the Obama family! Good luck to them all.

preach on, Di!!!

We’ll have a female president soon enough. Michelle would be a great CIC!!
