Having the White House called 'HOME'

The WhiteHouse will become a new home for the next First Family. It has been nearly 30 years since the walls of this mansion contained young children. Soon, Barack and Michelle's children will be calling the White House their home. Noted on the night of the victory, President-Elect Obama stated to the world and to his two girls that "you have earned the new puppy that is coming to the White House". In the only interview with the Obama girls, one mentioned how cool it would be to live there, and the other mentioned that it would be neat because now she would be able to decorate her room. Regardless, their lives have now changed forever, as their private lives may not be so private. The entire new first family including the two girls will be protected by the secret service.
As mentioned in a previous article, Michelle Obama claims her role as a mother comes first, and the role of a First Lady comes second. The White House for the most part is a business place where meetings and historic events take place, while being very public in nature. Besides being the White House, the place will be where the Obama's also go home from work. It is Michelle's intention to make sure that the children grow in an atmosphere that her children require, and I'm sure that Mrs. Obama will go through great lengths to accomplish that. The sense of 'normalcy' will be needed and the Obama's will demand that. View the following report by Tom Costello of NBC News talking about this issue.
