Obamas Decide To Stay In White House Until Daughters Finish High School

‘We Don’t Want To Uproot Them Just For Our Jobs,’ Say Parents

WASHINGTON—Saying it wouldn’t be fair to disrupt their lives after seven years in the same school district, Barack and Michelle Obama this week announced their plans to stay in the White House until their daughters graduate high school. “The girls’ whole lives are here, and forcing them to move to a new place and start in at a whole new school just to accommodate our careers doesn’t seem right, especially at their ages,” the first lady said of her daughters Malia, 17, and Sasha, 14, explaining that while Malia has moved more often than her sister and could likely handle another change, Sasha is more sensitive and would have a harder time leaving the group of friends she’s known since the second grade. “Malia graduates next year and Sasha only has four more to go, so we might as well stay right here until they finish up. After that, we’ll be empty nesters and can move into someplace smaller. Unless the girls go to college somewhere nearby, in which case we may just stay put.” The Obamas also added that, given how reliably it has been working for them, they see no need to get rid of their presidential motorcade and purchase a new vehicle for the foreseeable future.

[Skittles]

[orange you glad]

2. Army Brat like Me?

18. *snort*

[Liberal_in_LA]

3. mine either

[arcane1]

6. I wonder how many times this will be shared online and believed to be real.

[orange you glad]

7. It'll probably be on "Fox & Friends" first thing in the morning

With Elisabeth screaming about Obama's tyranny!

[dflprincess]

8. That was my first thought.

After all, Snopes created a page saying that the story that "Denali" is a Kenyan word meaing Black Power is false. And that rumor started as an internet joke (and to see if anyone would believe it.)

19. I just sent it on

and I guarantee that the person who I sent it to won't get it even though I tell him this is the Onion and its good satire. Can't wait to get the reply. Trouble is the reply won't be for a few hours, maybe days as he'll have to glue his brain back together.

Claims to be and has shown me his Democratic Party registration but I'd bet the farm he and his wife will vote for tRump or Carson, if I was a betting man that is. They think that Hillary is who stole all the money that has the USA so far in debt now. I shit you not

9. Ummmmm...... if Bill is going to be prowling around as "First Gentleman" with not that much to do...

might not be the best idea in the world.

[Sunlei]

10. cool onion soup. Let's forget the next primary/election and let the Obamas stay 4 more years.

[oldandhappy]

11. cute thanks giggle

[orange you glad]

14. thanx you guffaw

[leftieNanner]

12. Looks good to me.

I'm totally on board with another four years of BHO and family. Good people.

[MrModerate]

13. Careful, this'll be on Breitbart in about 10 seconds . . .

As breaking news. Ted Cruz will be talking about Obama's abuse of power later today and Glenn Beck will have chalk diagrams of how Obama is reinforcing the White House fence to keep out an outraged populace.

And Trump will say: "I'm a landlord and the White House is my house. I know how to fix deadbeat tenants."

[DFW]

15. Fox & Frauds could run with this

It's the second coming of the "Obama scandals."

[davidpdx]

17. I'm still waiting for the FEMA camps

I mean weren't people suppose to be in them by now?
