The story is not true. OP, you've fallen for a clickbait site, and you are now sending other unwitting readers there - are you getting a commission for doing so?

What is true is that Obama went golfing with Tiger Woods and the tax payer ended up with a 3.6 million dollar tab.

Unfortunately, snopes is not as credible as it once was.

As the First Lady does not receive a salary or a pension, it is reasonable to assume that the unofficial position of "first grandma" is also unpaid and is similarly ineligible for a government pension.
That is outstanding fact checking.

As the above poster pointed out - Snopes is "assuming" and we all know what happens when you assume. With all the dirty deals and things going on behind the scenes - you never know. The taxpayers have pd for 8 yrs of vacations that Michelle's mom took along with whatever else we don't know about. If Barry and Michelle want Gramma along - they can pick up the tab or leave the girls home.
