Over/Under in White House..?

[Hatterized]

ok....as it stands now....Pres Bama....his wife.....2 kids....possibly a dog.....yes her mother is now a confirmed live-in....will it stop at this number or will there be more residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.....what about the long lost Kenyan relatives....or his top dollar donors....just wanna get an idea on how much to budget for another tax increase that will be levied to feed these additional mouths that may shack up at the White House.....

well i can only hope and pray that they dont pave the beautiful lawns at the White House like they do in so many multi-family houses throughout the U.S. to make room for the additional cars.....yup the new American way in so many areas...5 families (most non American) dwell in 1 house....

Ok back to my question?

i'll say...... 8......some long lost cousins will surface from from lands way away

I didnt know about the live in mother. That will not be a surprise. Im not going to try and guess your over/under but I gaurantee you that it is going to be alot different in the White House mess. If it stays 'The White House'.

HEY GALAZIO - WHATCHA THINK? RACIST?

[sportfishingusa]

I am going to say this is not racist. this is pure fact and pure bs.. i dont think that they should be allowed to have anyone other than immediate family in the white house.. that is just mother. father. and siblings.. no inlaws, mothers, fathers, or anyone else..

we do pay to feed them but that is not all. we have to pay for their added security and so on and so forth...

i had a friend who was a cop in east orange nj. anyone who knows this area will know why it is such a rough area. he used to carry around spare change in his pocket.. when he pulled someone over and they gave him chit about how they pay for his salary.. he would say thank you so much. let me refund you and give them about 45 cents that they pay towards it.

now dont jump on me.. i disagree with the fact that we have to house and feed our president.. i dont believe they should get a special private chef, maid and what not.. but if they didnt the white house would be a complete mess.

i feel that the president who makes 500k a year for 4 yrs or whatever they are making now adays should sure as chit pay for his own benefits, his own food, and his own daily care.

i know if i was the president i sure would.. if your a true american you should not be taking and taking like they all do. it makes me sick.

The White House is a big house and I personally don't have a problem with the mother in law moving in to keep some sort of sanity for the little kids. They're going to need it. As far as his half brother or any other long lost relatives, no way in hell. He appears to have made great efforts at keeping them as distant as possible. Not to rule out a potential long weekend or two over the next 4 years, but definitely not moving in.

Should he decide to not find a way to help his aunt move from the projects into some area of the White House compound or at least get her out of the projects while he is in office, I would be shocked. He is going to get hammered by us more if he doesn't than if he does. If I were President and I had a relative living in such conditions, I would help them in a heartbeat. What's shocking is that he hasn't done something for her already with his millions. She could end up being a rags to riches story just begging for Disney to do a movie on.

Don't go falling out of your chair, I haven't changed my stripes...still a hard core conservative. I just know what I would do if I ever had the ability to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

My guess is no more than 6 family members including himself.

Not shocking at all....that would have been his money if he helped her already......now he can do it on our dime, seems blatantly simple to me.

2Pok...Vinnie.....Iguana...Reel Fan...appreciate the varied points of view....all well taken...

No problem. It is going to very interesting. I am actually looking forward to it.

YEAH MAN.. i am very happy with some of the input..

i also like the rags to riches one..

let me tell you something.. if my grandmother, aunt, uncle or anyone was in a chitty environment and i had a good amount of money i would not think twice about putting them into a really nice place and having it all paid off..

i have actually contemplated it in the past with someone who i am dear friends with. i was going to buy them a house/condo/townhouse and put it all in my name to get them in a better situation..

if i paid 180k for the house or condo and my mortgage was 1200 a month i was going to charge them 800 a month or less just to better their life and then i would eat the other money and think of it as a long term investment!!

for him to not do anyone about the situation until now makes me believe that unlike most people.. he has not changed and shows his true colors..(and i dont mean the color of his skin)...

like i say all the time.. if it takes someone getting into the white house or getting into higher powers to want to give a chit about other people then i dont believe he should be doing anything at all..

he is now the leader of our country and although i may not agree i have to deal and stand behind my country.. i am happy that he does not have the final word and that makes me feel a whole lot better.

i truly feel that he is not the best but then again i dont believe mccain was #1.. b

but without getting off track here. i truly believe that he is not who he claims he is and this just goes to show it with his family and the situation they live in..

HEY GALAZIO - WHATCHA THINK? RACIST?

What are you asking? Is the tone of the post racist or is the fact that there might be more than the immediate "first family" dwelling at the "Casa de Obama" racist?

Personally, I don't give a shit. If the Post Turtle wants to bring his uncles from Kenya into the white house... then fine. You voted this clown in... I didn't. I do not support the fact that with this shit bag comes "respect for the office". I think it is a joke. Anyone who can not pass a federal background check... prove his legal birth certificate, interacts with known terrorist and radical racists does not deserve any respect. Sorry. but being "multi-racial" and "a man of color" does not qualify as President in my book. (neither does being the son of a known CIA director who happened to be behind the largest drug importation racket in our country's history).

For the record... McCain was no better. Both are nothing more than Rockefeller's sock puppets and I'll say a prayer for Obama to see the last day of a 4 year term; not so much for him, but for the sake of the country. I wish him the best and I hope the right-wing media was reporting nothing more than BS regarding this guy. But it doesn't replace the fact that he has ZERO experience in dealing with what in my opinion, this country needs... and that is a cold, hard return to what made us the country what it once was and what every other foreigner who has come here legally or illegally desires.

Yea, I think it's a joke. Sure, he has a better tan than me, although I could wear him out on a basketball court. Is that racist? Is that why you voted for him? If not, why?... and don't tell me because he speaks better than McCain... that isn't too difficult, nor is it ground for the highest office in the land.
