Obama asks Bush for permission to move into Blair House 2 weeks before inauguration so the girls can start school - Bush tells Obama to fvck off!

They bring guns to school. But, it's not the kids who hold them.

Although I can understand Obama's concern for his daughters, but there's got to be another alternative (perhaps staying in a hotel) if needed. That was a bit off to be asking the current President such a request, IMO.

how dare you to speak out against obama!

I'm stealing that piccie... LOL

The Obamas will be moving into the Hay-Adams hotel this weekend, aides say. They're doing this in part so that the family's daughters, Sasha and Malia, can begin school when classes reconvene after winter break.

They had hoped to move earlier into nearby Blair House, which presidents-elect traditionally occupy five days before moving into the White House. But the Bush administration said the house, which is used as a guest house for visiting dignitaries, already had events scheduled there and guests who could not be displaced.

The Obamas will move into Blair House on January 15.

I can't believe how low this topic went. really not funny. not funny at all.

I love sarcasm, but man, this is NOT sarcasm.

people like this IMHO don't even deserve to become American citizens. shame on you.

Yeah, who does this dude think he is anyway? Everyone knows he only won because he's black, it's not like he's a real President. Just a fvckin racial token.

You can't really think this?

Yup, its sadly true. AJ is a confirmed racist.

His first letter is A, just like the first letter in Aryan. Coincidence? I think not.

the J is for jew.

gah, if Obama wasn't successful in outwitting Georgie Boy into getting the house early, I have no hope that he's going to be a winner on the world stage.

Agreed.

We are doomed!

Ah, ok....just read this...I retract my previous post - what Obama asked was appropriate considering the past.

Several presidents-elect of the United States have spent the night before their inauguration in the house. President George W. Bush arranged for former First Lady Nancy Reagan to stay at the house in 2004 and receive guests there following the state funeral for her husband, former president Ronald Reagan; the same was done for former First Lady Betty Ford in 2006 following the state funeral of her husband, former president Gerald Ford.

Cmon, those girls don't need no stinkin' schooling. Palin's kids turned out allright, they never did none of that fancy book larnin' either.

Nope disagree. Those girlies are homely looking. They need an education. Palin was pretty and afforded the option to be retarded.

Obamas daughters are very pretty, be nice!

I support Obama but I think that was kind of a tacky move...

Wow! Someone has lost their sense of humour.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that the people you are referring to are already US Citizens. Oddly enough, this site has both foreigners AND citizens. Pretty sure they all supported Obama too, except Charles.

I think your righteous outrage could possibly be used in the K3 forum, though....

I think many of you who say "Why not just get a hotel" are forgetting that it's not just mom, dad, and 2 kids.

It's the President-Elect, his wife, their 2 children, and his security detail.

The Presidential security detail is much larger than what you see on TV. Staying in a hotel doesn't just mean the extra expenses

for the detail, but it means making the hotel and surrounding area a living hell for the public that usually walk around with no problem.

It's also more taxing on the security detail to establish a perimeter. Blair house is setup to accommodate dignitaries and their security details,

whereas most hotels (even those with Presidential suites) are not.

Likewise, the selection of school for his daughters is not only on the basis of education, but on the basis of security needs.

These are the children of the 44th President of the United States of America. Their safety is now a national concern.

I know there's a lot of sarcasm on this subject, but it's sad that some of you can't get a realistic grasp on why he made the request.

Yeah...I got that. Just pointing out why that would NOT be the first choice.

I agree. However, I'd have to say that none of that would be a concern if people (and the media in general) could keep their mouths shut and respect the privacy of others.
