Obama's Trek to Washington D.C. This Weekend

As reported by (NEWSER), this weekend Barack Obama plans to move to Washington D.C. One of the things lined up on his schedule is a historic meeting next week with President George Bush and his father, President Clinton and Carter. That will mean that he will meet all of the living former presidents for the first time. But the main reason for the move this weekend is because Barack's two children plan to start school on Monday, while Barack will get a chance to begin working with the Congress to perfect his upcoming stimulus package. Normally, all incoming Presidents stay at the Blair House, directly across the street from the White House. But when the Obama's asked if they could take up residence early at the Blair House, their request was refused. Being that President-Elect is now the highest ranking guest in the country, do you think that President Bush should have refused the Blair House to the Obama's? Actually, Obama is asking to set up residency there a little earlier than most incoming Presidents. Mainly his reason is because he needed to setup house so that his two children can be ready to go to school on Monday. But President Bush also has a good reason not to allow President-Elect access to the Blair house ahead of time. There are several foreign dignitaries that are scheduled to use the Blair House, and there are no open dates. So where is President-Elect Obama going to stay? At this moment, MSNBC reports that it's the Hay-Adams Hotel,which is as close as you can get to the White House. Since the Hay-Adams Hotel is a large elaborate place, you would wonder why President Bush doesn't choose to move the foreign dignitaries there instead of the historic Blair house where most President-Elects stay before holding residence at the White House. In my opinion, a simple mistake by George Bush, but never the less, another mistake. Now, only 18 days to the inauguration of President Obama, and the White House will then become home for Barack, Michelle, Sasha and Malia, and let's not forget, a new dog.
