I almost fell out of my chair when I heard this story this morning. Apparently, Marian Robinson (President Obama's 72-year old mother-in-law) has been practicing Santeria (a/k/a voodoo) in the White House due to her failing health. As written on Kristen Atkinson's blog "Atkinson's Advice," Ms. Atkinson details the voodoo chants and ceremonies happening up in the White House by Mrs. Robinson. Nevertheless, if Mrs. Robinson tries to sacrifice a goat on the White House lawn, President Obama will be putting her on the first plane back to Chicago ASAP!
The above picture of the First Couple from 1996 allegedly has a voodoo god sitting to the left on the side table. I can't tell you the exact name of this voodoo god, but I certainly wouldn't be putting this type of idol up in my living room!
I wish Dave Chappelle was still doing his show, because his parody of this event would be priceless. Can we get him to at least do a "Funny or Die" skit?

"The president is quite upset about this on two different levels. First, he is a committed Christian, no matter what his critics say about Reverend Wright. He is adamant that Sasha and Malia be raised with Christian influences. He does not want them to be involved with African voodoo. And secondly, he is worried about the political fallout if his enemies get wind of this. Rev. Wright was bad enough, but this would be political suicide," a close friend of Michelle’s confided.Source: Atkinson's Advice
This is how it happened. Marian Robinson became increasingly frustrated as her husband, Fraser Robinson, was hobbled by multiple sclerosis in the late 1980s. The family pastor prayed with her and counseled her, but "she turned to Santeria in a desperate hope," Michelle’s friend said...
"Marian invited an old friend from Chicago to visit her at the White House, and she performed a Santeria ceremony in the residence. When Michelle saw this woman, a voodoo priestess she recognized her from when her father was sick, she had a fit. When she told the president about it, he blew up and said, ‘No voodoo in the White House. Absolutely. I don’t care what you call it.’
