woohoo!

what? Like the White House doesn't have enough room to house the Obamas and whoever else? That is whack yo!

4/4!

I don't see problem with making the Obama clan wait to get into the White House. It isn't theirs until the 20th.

"which previously booked honored guest"
He wasn't booked in December, when this story first was reported.

Blair House isn't the Bush's, it won't be the Obamas - the Obamas asked to move into Blair House in time for the girls to go to school Dave, not the White House.

4/4 yessssssssssss

And they can get into their house on the 20th. If you buy a house, you don't get to move in until the closing. In this case, the closing is the 20th. If you want to start school early, you can get an apartment. It's what every other American does when they move. It's what my family will do when we move, if that's what we need to do.

damn couldn't get that last one..

"It's what every other American does when they move"

Every other American doesn't require a team of Secret Service, easy access to the White House and easy access to people of high ranking importance. There is a lot Obama and his team will need to prepare before the 20th...I think it is in every American's best interest if we don't get in his way.

Just a general comment, not to correct any in particular, but both here and in other places, I have seen people saying that Obama will not be staying in Blair House at all. In fact, he is staying there starting January 15.

And, it is my understanding that, while Howard hadn't confirmed that he would be staying at Blair House, the invitation had been extended long before Obama ever requested that he be permitted to move in there early.
