Michelle Obama and her mother on adjusting to life at White House

Michelle Obama says it was never easy being the wife of a driven politician. The demands of campaigning and politics strained their marriage, and they sought help in couples' therapy. In their first national TV interview together, Gayle King also spoke with Marian Robinson, Obama’s mother, about her eight years in the White House.

People call her a freeloader. But the WH has empty rooms stop it. Plus the food issue is solved the president pays for the food his family eats in personal/private meals. I would assume when having state meals etc there is a budget. I also assume when traveling on AirForce one for Michelle's travel the entire plane can hold people. Hotels they could double up in rooms. Girls in one bed, granny in the other. Grandparents live with family daily & it isn't anything shady or weird. People just nitpicking & trying to find fault.

[@aprilchamberlain1677]

"Freeloader"??? Really?? The way it sounds to me is they didn't get a free ride. Yeah rent/mortgage but that would be expected since they were living in the WH.

Melania's bum mother and father are immigrants who came to America in front of other people and got a green card. ALL first ladies have an office and a staff. Melania who isn't an elected official called for her husband to fire one of the people on her staff because the woman leaked the details of the cost of her African trip. Michelle would never do that.

I watched this with so much nostalgia, respect and honor. Mrs. Robinson represents traditional southern American black mothers who migrated to the Midwest and other parts of the country bringing their beliefs and culture with them. Concepts like Extended family, respect for elders, religious beliefs of treating others as you would want to be treated are evident in traditional American black family life. I was raised in the same tradition and my daughters and son are benefiting from that tradition as well. Many other cultures have a strong familial tradition (Latinos, Indian, Asian, etc..) too but it’s rare to see American black culture depicted on tv like this. I’m just so happy that My country had the opportunity to witness a traditional African American family in the White House. That tradition and culture of family ties is what has prevented my ethnic group from becoming extinct or from completely crumbling. Thanks CBS for giving us such a poignant interview.

@@raultiangson5666 You ask great questions. Obama wasn't the president for African Americans only. He was president for all Americans. It is insulting to say a president belongs to one group and will do their bidding. A part of being equal is to allow all groups to act like the average American. Nobody asks what Kennedy and Clinton did for Irish people in the slums of Boston or rural America. Nobody asks what Bush and Reagan did for Welsh, Nordic people living in America. Your question puts Obama in a classification as other. It's unnecessary. So the appropriate question is what has Obama done for America?

I'm reading Michelle Obama's book. I find it nice to hear them talk . What a great life and what a great family.

[@honwilllouis5454]

So beautiful to see them both❤

[@dorothearobinson3455]

This is what all women do when they love their man and his kids. These traits are definitely taught by a wonderful Mom.

[@tarib6319]

Lovely, classy, intelligent down to earth person. Love her! Will never forget her doing push-ups on the Ellen show! Love you Michelle!

[@beyoutifullynatural9451]

I just love Michelle and her mom❤️❤️

Marian Robinson...my God, what an incredibly amazing woman. She really would have preferred to just be at home, but she did it for her grandchildren when they really needed her. For EIGHT WHOLE YEARS.

You can see the blackness seeping through and I'm loving it ❤

Imagine being the Obama's marriage counselor, talk about pressure haha

[@ncavlleguy]

She’s just as beautiful as her daughter !!

[@veronicamwarren5750]

Oh my heart.. The picture of Mrs. Robinson's hand on former president Obama's shoulder. They were a blessing to see in White House. No I didn't agree with all the decisions made by former president but it was a pleasure to have at least some sanctity.

[@uncommonsense9711]

I'm listening to Mrs. Obama's book now and as I listen, I'm so intrigued by her mother that I was JUST saying to myself "I'd love to read a book by HER MOM!!!"

I'm French. During March 2019, I fligth from South of France to Johannesburg. I had requested for a taxi to the Guest House I had booked. When I arrived at the exit of the airport, I knew that the taxi would be waiting for me. Suddenly I saw a lot of taxi drivers with a cartoon with the name of the person they were waiting for. Suddenly I saw one taxi's driver with a cartoon over which it was written "Michelle Obama". I directly walked to him. He was my taxi's driver. I was sure of it. Because I always say, when someone is asking my first name "Michelle, as Michelle Obama". I love so much this woman.
