I noticed that President Elect Obama has decided to send the kids to a $30,000 a year private school. For those of us who can't afford 60K a year to send our kids to Elementary School, at least we have public school choice thanks to Obama's support (sarc).

Exactly. Let them get a hotel room for 10 days. I’m sure they can find a suite somewhere in DC. But I guess he is too important to use his own damn money.

What’s wrong with a public school? I thought he was against anything privately owned.

Technically, he’s not President-elect yet.

I read through some of the comments.

Guess I don’t see the “Change” that the Obamessiah prophesized - all I see are a bunch of liberal twits trying to use any excuse to portray George and Laura Bush in a bad light, incensed becuase only 95% of the requests of “The One” have been quickly and efficiently fulfilled by the outgoing administration.

I swear, they’re worse than babies.

You got that right. Amazing how he can stand behind his oval office sign of “the president elect office” even though the electoral college hasn't elected him yet.

Well, to us it’s a revealing story because it reveals, yet again, that Obama takes for granted that he is SPECIALLY ENTITLED.

Apparently to the Times, it’s a big story because it reveals that Bush and Cheney are cruel and mean to minorities and children.

There’s even a picture of those cute little children running to get on board White House Elect One with its Great Seal of Obama.

“It remained unclear who on Bushes guest list outranked the incoming President.”

Apparently the reporter was so convinced that the obamas outrank EVERYBODY that she said this to the Bush spokesperson, who was obliged to reply that it’s not a question of who outranks whom.

Amusing how the Democrats sell themselves as the party of the common people...their personal choices are almost never common.

Liberals are elitists...have been since the days of FDR. They peer down at the rest of us from their mountain top and make their sanctimonious judgments. Wish they'd just leave me along.

Along the same lines his first post-election meeting in the White House showed his lack of understanding for what the position entails.

He was scoping out the bedrooms for his kids. My kids are my most treasured gift from God. However wouldn’t it be nice if the President were more interested in running the country and protecting all Americans than scoping out his kids new bedrooms?

I read an AP story yesterday blaming Bush for the Congress’s lack of leadership and inability to get anything done regarding the auto bailout.

I can just imagine the press response if President Bush would have asked to move into Blair house 2 weeks early on Clinton.

Speaking of Clinton, his house is secure. Why doesn’t ObiONE move in with him for 2 weeks.

You’d think one of Obama’s lackeys would put him up in an Apartment or something for a couple weeks.

I mean that $745 million will buy a lot of little hotel shampoo bottles.

I am not wanting to credit Obama with too much intelligence but he’s probably afraid Billy will hit on his wife.

I'm loving this because the news came from Laura Bush's press secretary. The Blair House will be available on January 15 as previously scheduled. Go get em Laura.

Remember 8 years ago the Bush's had children in school and they adjusted.
