President-elect Barack Obama just got nixed!
Sneed hears the White House has rejected a recent request by Obama to occupy Blair House, the president-elect's Washington residence, at an earlier date.
• • To wit: Sneed hears Obama wanted to move his family and his transition team to Blair House, which is across from the White House, nearly two weeks before the president-elect historically moves there on Jan. 15 -- five days before the inaugural.
• • The backshot: A source tells Sneed: "There were reportedly two reasons for the request: Obama's children start school in early January -- and the move could be interpreted as a New Year's symbolic gesture showing the president-elect in a presidential capacity across from the White House on Jan. 2, the day after New Year's Day."
• • The buckshot: Blair House, the president's guest house for visiting dignitaries, nixed the request. "It was a polite rejection," the source added. "But I'm told Blair House was appalled."
• • Responses: An Obama spokesman tells Sneed they were told Blair House had guests until Jan. 15. ... Sally McDonough, a spokesman for first lady Laura Bush, tells Sneed: "Respectfully, we are keeping transition conversations quiet. But Jan. 15 is historically the time when incoming presidents occupy Blair House, which is the president's guest house."

It’s happened before.
“There were reportedly two reasons for the request: Obama’s children start school in early January — and the move could be interpreted as a New Year’s symbolic gesture showing the president-elect in a presidential capacity across from the White House on Jan. 2, the day after New Year’s Day.”
With regard to justification #1, if the Obama’s put their kids in public school like they expect their subjects to, they could afford a hotel.
On justification #2, I am already beyond sick of this metrosexual a-hole and all his acolytes. “A New Year’s symbolic gesture?” I feel like throwing up!
Dear Barry,
At present time, you hold absolutely no official or influential office. Thought I would remind you.
Regards,
What, no room in the Inn for the Messiah?
BAAWWAAAHHHH......I nominate that as BEST post of the week!
It wasn't enough to win the popular vote and prepare for inauguration: he had to create an imaginary "Office of the President-Elect."
The "Office of the President-Elect" wasn't good enough: he wants to move across the street from the White House two weeks earlier than traditional, and pretend he's already the President.
And when he's finally and actually President, what will happen when that's not good enough?
Never mind, I don't want to know.
Definitely a winner!
Obama’s reputation? 1.He has none 2.He has never done anything in his life.
The filthy arrogant a$$ and his tribe will get the free public housing soon enough, he can wait.
2.He has never done anything in his life.
He did run a successful Kool Aide stand!!
He reminds me of pro athletes who are full of themselves. Almost like a pro-boxer before entering the ring- bravado and beligerence. He really is one arrogant bastard (which may be true...but well only know that for sure when we see his birth certificate).
And why is it necessary to call him Pres-Elect O instead of Mr. Obama?
The Obamas are the most presumptuous White House-bound people ever.
January 20th on is going to be a hoot. And you thought that a Christmas Tree with condoms as ornaments was tasteless? Just wait until The Marxists take over!
Relax and enjoy! There isn't a damn thing that will be done about it!
Oh, wait a minute...NBC is conducting this POS survey. What about answer #5? “You must be freakin’ kidding...Nothing will ever stick to The Magic Negro...I guarantee it!”
That’s better. Do Not Click On NBC!!!
