So, the Obamas cannot move into Blair House before the 1/20/09

inauguration because they are too "booked"?

Yeah, suck it up bastards. I know Dickie Cheney and Bush are behind this minor snub somewhere.

But, guess what? WE WON!

1. It's available on the traditional move-in date of January 15.

Let this non-story die. What matters is Obama will be the President. Than he can make the rules.

3. I can post whatever I want on here as long as my posts follow the rules.

Feel free to not read it.

Thanks.

6. Well, it would be helpful to stick to the facts. The date is the 15th.

Not the 20th as you posted.

9. sure you can. and others can tell you that you're full of it, and have the dates wrong.

14. You must have missed the past 3 days of this.

Not important.

2. Bush and Cheney will be banished...I can't wait!!!

4. YEs, it shows the level of their bitterness

:D

7. It shows nothing but continuing with tradition and having already booked Blair House

Don't we have enough crimes that we can talk about without being petty over nothing?

[dkf]

11. Yes, but tradition doesn't take into consideration the

unusual circumstance of having two very young kids having to start a new school year.

Sometimes you have to show a little flexibility.

I'm surprised the guests didn't want to be a little more accomodating to our new President.

13. Kids move all the time and stay in temporary housing.

Really, those kids are much more resilient and adaptable - well - than most folks here, apparently.

5. Available on the traditional date of January 15

If the present administration didn't have plans for Blair House, breaking with tradition would have been fine.

However, you can't fault the Bush cabal for sticking to tradition. Blair House was booked.

This is much ado about NOTHING!

8. In the hierarchy of their (the cabal's) faults, it is minor

I am enjoying it because their pettiness speaks volumes about their loss.

10. Actually, you are the one being "petty." It's a non issue!

This is the easiest move anyone will ever make.

The Obamas don't have to lift a finger to move anything.

12. "Pettiness" in action indeed. Size 10 egos in size 2 souls. (That's a Heinlein line.) nt

15. As does your pettiness.
