Sounds nice, but does it have an inroom microwave and flat screen TV?

Indeed ... maybe he didn’t have one given his voting record.

Mr Obama had requested to stay at Blair House, opposite the White House, but was told by the Bush administration it was booked up for farewell "receptions and gatherings" and was "not available" until January 15, five days before the inauguration.

Of course, Bush offered to make arrangements for the Obamas to stay in Flag housing (where Admirals live) but was turned down. The press will naturally omit this little detail because they're trying to make Bush look like a dick.

Mr Obama has always spent the minimum time possible in Washington

Yeah.

It's not like he had a lush taxpayer funded job or anything there.

>>>When was he ever in need of an apartment as a Senator?<<<

He needed someplace to phone in "present" votes.

This is so much hype! Probably forced by the Entitled Michelle. I am sure Sidwell Friends would over look a few missed days by the girls.

Who is forcing BO to stay in a hotel? Why doesn’t the Secret Service protect him from these ruffians?

♫ Away from the Blair House,
no room for his spouse
The little Lord Barry
lay down his sweet head

Crescent moon in the bright sky
Looked down where he lay
The little Lord Barry
Asleep in the Hay,

Adams, that is
black gold, Chicago tea ... ♫

whoops, turned to the wrong page of music! Found the Chicago Hillbillies!

That is the most diverse photo-shopped staff I’ve ever seen.

How come the staff isn't wearing the official SEIU vests?

“Ah, what’s wrong with the apartment he’s been using while he was a Senator?”

There’s nothing newsworthy about that.
