The FIRST GRANDMA ! | White House Mother-In-Law | Meet MARIAN ROBINSON

Marian Robinson moves into the White House to help raise Sasha & Malia Obama. Mother-In-Law in the White House ! [JAN 2009]


The First Grandma: Who Is Marian Robinson? Michelle Obama's Mother Has Uprooted Her Life to Help Raise Her Grandchildren...

First lady Michelle Obama may be focusing on being mom in chief, but it's her mother, Marian Robinson, who serves as the bedrock for the entire Obama clan.

Robinson, who retired from her job as a bank secretary in 2007 in order to devote more time to her grandaughters, Malia Obama, 10, and Sasha Obama, 7, left her Southside Chicago home to help her daughter and son-in-law make the transition to Washington, D.C.

Her bond with the first family is evident. Throughout the inauguration, Robinson watched closely over Malia and Sasha as a friendly assist to support Michelle and Barack Obama.

Michelle Obama has been vocal about how grateful she is for her mother's aid during the family's move from private to public life.

"My mother jokes. She said, 'You know, when I taught you and your brother to push beyond your comfort zones, I didn't expect you to drag me with you.' She has been terrific," Michelle Obama said in an interview with ABC News' Bob Woodruff last year.

"We couldn't do this without her," she added, "and we are grateful that she's going to be here, helping the girls, helping me get acclimated to the changes that we'll be facing. I can breathe a little bit easier, knowing that if I'm out late or have to travel that the girls have Grandma."
