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

[9YearLurker]

With former presidents attending but not 41, I wonder how his health and Barbara’s are holding up—and wish them well.

The Obama family are bidding farewell to Chicago.....

Huh!?!?!? I thought the Rezko-assisted housing was going to remain the 'Midwest White House' during the reign of The One.

[Texas Eagle]

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,...

You had to know there would be no room at the inn for the messiah's family.

[jonsie]

BOO! HOO!

[george76]

the Hay Adams hotel is bad?

[raybbr]

Barack Obama is to move to Washington this weekend but will be forced...

Forced? Who's FORCING him and what's the method of force?

[EggsAckley]

“.....there is a gas-lit corner fireplace in the sitting room....”

Um........sounds a little trailer-park-ish.

JMHO

[Texas Eagle]

Although there was no room at the inn for the Obamas...

Damn it. They stole my zinger. Sort of.

[melt]

It's not as comfy as the manger in Bethlehem--- but it'll do for now...

Poor baby...

Life is hard

[hinckley buzzard]

a favourite stop for visiting foreign dignitaries, Gulf princes and pop stars. The presidential suite in the penthouse normally sells for $2,500 to $5,000 a night.

Perfect for the Chicago Flash.

[Not A Snowbird]

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

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.

[Gritty]

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.

[Red_Devil 232]

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.
