An Obama rejection ... 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."
Oops, you may be right.
I went to the school website and saw the exam schedule that went through January 15. Do you think there are no exams at the end of the semester except for the high school? Maybe.
GOD HELP US!!!
Obama is nuts!
Pretty nervy of him. Maybe he’s more concerned about the Blago scandal than he lets on, and wants some distance.
I don't think I would be calling anyone a liar just yet.
I think you’re right.
No big surprise that he would be so tacky . After all he managed a cheap shot at former first lady Nancy Reagan at his first official press conference.
And those 5 million will be the easily whipped up type, led by the revolutionary vanguard of the proletariat.
Well now...THAT woman certainly has a bit of “junk in the trunk” now, doesn’t she?
....and some ‘loot in her boot’. ;)
Actually, I don’t think Hillary would.
As much as I hate to say this, I think Hillary has a little more class
then 0.
LOL!
OMG.... this arrogant assh*le makes me sick to my stomach. he is a classic narcissist. I really despise this man and this “ He is your president, we should pull together” crap. NO DAMN WAY. He will NEVER be my president, I hope he never gets in office, Fitzgerald, PLEASE nail his as* prior to 12/15 or 1/20. UGH, no class. I hope he fails in all that he does or attempts to do. No well wishes for this assh*le. Ahhhh that felt good
OMG LMAO
Bender 2 he want go early what is he think is Messiah or something or world leader LOL!
They were probably talking about the Governor’s wife.
Slap yo hand, Obama bad boy! LOL!
The upside on that is you didn't have FBI agents going into the Governor's Mansion to bust the Hairpiece.
According to Wikipedia there is no salary for the First (Lady?)
