Obamas Denied Early Stay at Presidential Guesthouse
December 13th, 2008
Obamas denied presidential guesthouse. Barack Obama may be the most popular incoming president in recent memory, but it won’t help him get a bed at Blair House before mid-January. Blair House is where newly elected commanders-in-chief traditionally move in five days before inauguration to the White House. The Obama clan initially “explored the idea” of an early check-in so daughters Sasha and Malia could start school in D.C. immediately after the Christmas break, a spokesperson says. But they were told that pre-scheduled events and guests at Blair House, which also lodges visiting dignitaries, prevents a move before Jan. 15. “The Blair House, the president’s guest house for visiting dignitaries, is available to President-elect Obama and his family starting Jan. 15, as is historically the case,” says Sally McDonough, a D.C. spokesperson. “As for any conversation, I don’t comment on specific conversations about transition details.” Obama’s transition team spokesperson says the White House has been “extremely accommodating” to the Obamas, and that process has been “smooth and friendly.”
This is not such a big deal. Sounds like tradition is being followed with the 5 days before inauguration.
This do not seem like a big deal. The rules are still being applied with the 5 days before inauguration.
NIT-PICK….NIT-PICK….NIT-PICK..NIT- PICK!!!
So what? This is not news. If you tell me who is in the Blair House right now and what plans are being made since they cannot move in the Blair House I’d be impressed. Instead, you give us a TMZ style, trashy update.

AND………!
“Whooopdee dooo” who give a shi!@#….
I am really impressed with the comments on this thread. BET this is not news, come on now you can do better.
I think these people are so racist about this man being in the office right now because he is a black man and for them wanting to be there early why not he’s the president now and for him now having to wait until the 15th of january before but I hatre that because these republicans are something else now and I DO NOT LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW . YOU DIG
I feel that it doesn’t hurt to try, but lets look in reality for a moment….did they really think that little Bush would actually want out new President to move in earlier than expected? lmao come on they should have known the answer to that question, but hey it doesn’t hurt to ask b/c you never know what the outcome would be until you try! lol
That’s not news… boring!!!!!!
This is ridicolous, what is this mediatakeout? Report the news please
