Bush to Obama: How's about you stay on Chicago a little longer, cowboy?

The Bushes are denying the Obamas the right to move into the Blair House.

The White House has turned down a request from the family of President-elect Barack Obama to move into Blair House in early January so that his daughters can start school on Jan. 5.
The Obamas were told that Blair House, where incoming presidents usually stay in the five days before Inauguration Day, is booked in early January, a spokesperson to the Obama transition said. “We explored the idea so that the girls could start school on schedule,’ the spokesperson said. “But, there were previously scheduled events and guests that couldn’t be displaced.”

Even better, the New York Times doesn't seem too happy about it:

It remained unclear who on Bushes guest list outranked the incoming President.
“It’s not a public schedule,” said Sally McDonough, spokeswoman for First Lady Laura Bush, in refusing to disclose who was staying at Blair House. “It’s not a question of outranking the Obamas. Blair House will be available to them on January 15.”

That made my cold, black heart go pitter-pat.

1 Good. It's about time that someone reminded Obama that he's not President yet. And that he's not God.

Is there some reason why they can't stay in a hotel? Or political allies in the area? Hell, with Ted Kennedy? I understand security concerns and the like but I'm certain those arrangements could be made.

2 Hey, Bush you finally realized there is no "office" of the "president elect". Tell the asshole he can stay at the Motel 6. If he can't do that why doesn't he stay in Hawaii longer where he is renting 3 luxury homes during Christmas for thousands a night a piece? ASSWIPE!
