First Grandma Marian Robinson to Receive Lifetime $160K Government Pension

According to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Mrs. Robinson earned the lifetime pension for “services rendered as full-time/in-home caregiver” for granddaughters Malia, 18, and Sasha, 15, during President Obama’s two terms in office.
In January of 2009, it was reported that Mrs. Robinson was living in the White House full-time to tend to her granddaughters. She was the first live-in grandmother at the White House since Elivera M. Doud, the mother of Mamie Eisenhower, during the Eisenhower Administration.
Critics say Mrs. Robinson should not profit from something as simple as taking care of family. Sally Kellner, volunteer/activist for the National Taxpayers Union, says this is a prime example of needless spending. “I think it’s ridiculous that taxpayers must pay this woman a lifetime salary for something everyday Americans do for free. We take care of our families because we love them, not for profit.”
When asked if Mrs. Robinson’s lifetime pension was justified, Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, declined to comment but said a special oversight committee would review all post-Obama Administration budgetary obligations.

Before her son-in-law became President of the United States, Mrs. Robinson had never been abroad. Now, after almost eight years of being the nation’s Grandmother-In-Chief, she’s a seasoned world traveler who has, accompanied by her granddaughters, been to Senegal, Tanzania, China and Italy, where she even met the Pope.
“She’s been the rock of the family,” says Obama family friend and biographer Peter Slevin. “It’s been a real blessing for the girls (Malia & Sasha) to have their grandma with them during these formative years,” he said.
Shortly after the 2008 presidential election, President Obama called Robinson “One of the unsung heroes” of his campaign, and said, “We couldn’t have done it without her.” First Lady Michelle Obama has said that if Robinson had not been available to step in and watch over the girls, Obama might never have launched his campaign.
While holding no official job title, Mrs. Robinson likely qualified for her lifetime pension under the “optional” eligibility requirement for the Civil Service Retirement Act (CSRS)

conversation, as it's obvious you're not grasping what you're doing, and you just did it again.

"People voted due to race and the perception that the would get their fair share. I have seen it time and time again."

Yes, we've both acknowledged that a large number of black people voted for Obama because he's black. We both also acknowledge that this is a fairly shallow, hollow reason to vote for somebody, as it displays an ignorance about how government actually functions. Where we diverge is the point where you claim ALL black people voted for Obama because of this reason. You've stated it several times now, and you certainly aren't walking it back.

Here's, let's use a real-life example, and you can have one last chance to "understand" what you're doing here. One of our own, 3timeTiger, is of African American descent. She is more educated than you, and having met her more than once, I can say with a pretty high degree of confidence that she's more intelligent than you. Now, I have no idea who she voted for in 2008 and 2012, but let's say for the sake of argument, that she voted for Obama at least once. Based on everything you've proffered in this thread, the single reason she voted for Obama is because he promised to give her free stuff, which we both know is untrue, because we're both intelligent enough to know that this is not how government works. Unfortunately for 3time, she's black, so she's not intelligent enough to know this.

My sincere apologies to 3time for taking her name in vain in this thread, just trying to make a point to somebody who is too dumb to know he's being racist.
