American First lady Michelle Obama
has figuratively evicted her 74-year-old mother from the White House in
an apparent effort to boost her appeal to middle-class voters.
The eviction notice came April 30 when the first lady told fellow
Democrats at a fundraiser that she shared their values. “My family, we
lived in a little bitty apartment on the South Side of Chicago over my
aunt’s house [and] my mom still lives in that house to this day.”
However, the first lady’s mother, Marian Robinson, has lived in the
White House since March 2009, when Essence Magazine announced her move
from Chicago to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
“She will
stay as long as her son-in-law and daughter want her to
stay there,” Angela Burt-Murray, the editor of Essence Magazine, said in
an April 2009 “Today” show interview.
