Sorry, We’re Booked, White House Tells Obamas

CHICAGO—The White House has turned down a request from the family of President-elect Barack Obama to move into Blair House in early January so that his daughters can start school on January 5.

The Obamas were told that Blair House, where incoming presidents usually stay in the five days before Inauguration Day, is booked in early January, a spokesperson to the Obama transition said. “We explored the idea so that the girls could start school on schedule,’ the spokesperson said. “But, there were previously scheduled events and guests that couldn’t be displaced.”

The Il Duce's think they're royality.

They knew it was available on and after the 15th, and they could have asked quietly behind the scenes, that would have been OK.  But when their request wasn't honored, someone leaked out this story.  Why are they "try(ing) to make a story out of something that’s not a story?"

Anyone who fell for this "change" and "unity" crap he spewed is a sucker.

Hell, he isn't even officially President- Elect. That takes place on Monday, Dec 15th. As far as I'm concerned, we should only pay for him to move Twice, once when he takes office and once when he leaves office. To move him into one house and then another is a waster of our money. So much for sensible spending......

I'm sure they can stay somewhere else until the Blair house is available so that their children could start school on schedule.   :whatever:

hey, here's an idea... give him 10 days of temporary lodging assistance, just like the military gets... at a rate equivalent to his demonstrated leadership and executive experience.  let's see, a 2LT would be able to stay at a decent Holiday Inn...

It seems like a reasonable request and a reasonable denial of it as well.

Gee....anybody else doing a move like that that can't get into the house in time for school to start, stays at an extended stay hotel in the meantime.

I'm sure there must be some in DC.   :uhsure:

I wouldn't want to do anything that could be considered friendly to Obama, he throws all his friends under buses...

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.
