Bush Administraton: No Early Check In For The Obamas

• December 14, 2008

Obama wants to stay in the Blair House (the White House guest residence) early, but the Bush administration is saying no way.

President Bush’s aides have turned down a request from President-elect Barack Obama to move from Chicago into Blair House, the official guest residence across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, in time for Mr. Obama’s daughters to start school in Washington on Jan. 5.
The Obamas were told that they could move into Blair House on Jan. 15, but no earlier, because it is booked, an Obama transition official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “We explored the idea so that the girls could start school on schedule,” the official said. “But there were previously scheduled events and guests that couldn’t be displaced.”
White House officials declined to disclose specifically who is using Blair House during that period, for what purpose or how they could take precedence over the president-elect of the United States when it came to government housing; one White House official would say only that it had been booked for “receptions and gatherings” by members of the departing Bush administration. Those receptions, the official said, “don’t make it suitable for full-time occupancy by the Obamas yet.”
So the Obamas are now looking for an alternative place to stay for a few weeks, though they presumably are not searching Craigslist for a sublet.

Just like another messiah whose family was denied room at the inn.
Everyone cry a little tear for the Obamas. I guess it’s off to a luxury suite of hotel room instead.

Let him use the caretaker’s house temporarily.

Um… obama can’t board in a room that’s booked. He’s not being denied anything usually given to other presidents. This has little to do with Bush not letting someone do something.

Non issue.

Fuck the Obama’s…who gives a shit?!?!?!!!

Marx was correct.

We’ll see one of two things in the next 100 years. Total collectivism or savagery.

If conservatism dominates, we’ll see savagery.

At least Obama is real.

Marxist?

The meltdown from Barry’s smug arrogance will be entertaining. This new administration has a surreal sitcom presence to it. It’s like the Sopranos mixed in with a Spike Lee movie and a dash of Jerry Springer.

I’m sure some messiah loving sycophant will make their home available for the Obamas without strings for as long as they want.

I mean, what’s “Obama slept here” worth?

Little detail, GWB had lots of things going on in the last few weeks of his admin in Blair house.

I hope the ONE will be able to understand that.

Of course he can always just speak the word and suddenly the house he needs will come into being. That’s what messiahs do.

Typical republican pettiness. Childish a-holes.

Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it Obama! Hey, he said he smoked the shit before. I suppose he quit crack like he quit smoking cigs…….Oops, he fell off the wagon. Again, his words not mine.

Poor Barry.

You’d sure think that “Obama slept here” would be worth something. You’d also think that “Obama was slapped on the rear here” would be worth something, but I don’t see any Hawaiian hospital hoisting a monument on his behalf. I guess we’ll have to keep looking to Bethlehem in remembrance of the real Savior’s birthplace.

Odd criticism coming from somebody who has an inaginary buddy and his old man in the sky whose spirits supposedly swirls around us.

At least Obama is real.

I wonder if the keyboards will be missing the “0″ like the “W” was missing when the Clinton’s left?

I heard the bushies are actually taking the W’s.

No room at the inn for the chosen one?

Obama is pushy and uppity.

(They can always substitute the “0″ [zero] for the “O” [oh] as there is no difference)

Marx was correct.

Das Kapital has turned out to be an eerily prescient volume. A bit long, but worth the read.
