So Normally the NEW President would be staying at the Blair House with his family as he waits to be sworn in....He and his family would tended and protected there....BUT it's odd after lurking in numerous chat rooms, I did notice that NO ONE could figure out WHO was staying in the Blair House that would prevent Obama from staying there before Inauguration. 119 Rooms of hospitable Security and good care of OUR new President and his family....Instead Obama and his family have to stay in a Hotel....BUT the Bushes for Some Unknown Reason did not offer this Hospitable Kind Respectful Parting Gesture....BUT instead Bush chose to tell ONE more LIE......See Margaret Carlson's report on Countdown:

I caught that as well - how petty, and just the sort of response I would have expected from these solipsistic 'tards. They are but overly indulged 8 year olds.
According to the Washington Post via the Chicago Tribune's political blog, "The Swamp," it's former Prime Minister John Howard of Australia who was "a staunch ally of President Bush in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

It's a shame that they wouldn't make other arrangements for the former Australian PM in order to show deference/consideration to the President-elect.
What makes it worse is that this administration is once again going out of it's way to do little favors for their friends at everyone else's detriment.
However, this does not surprise me. Par for the course.
Petty bullshit, especially considering how large the facility is.
Don't even act surprised. More petty BS from a small petty man. Meh.
I'm worried Bush planned to have Obama and family stay in a hotel knowing he wouldn't be as safe there. Is there a little wishful thinking on his part going on here? I worry constantly that there are people out there who wish to do Obama harm - especially Republicans.
And desperate people do desperate things. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
I find it incredulous that even Bush could be so despicable. The Obama's only wanted to move in early because of the girls. The house has 115 rooms for God's sake. How could ANYONE not want to make sure the girls would be as safe as possible. They are CHILDREN for crying out loud. Bush is the lowest form of life on Earth. He is dirtier than the crud that I brush from my boots. I am enraged! He will have to answer for his sins and evil ways. I doubt that he will be going to heaven.

That thought crossed my mind too- as he is Someone that understands Secret Service VERY well...and security...and threats- he knows very well that the Blair house is used to provide the RIGHT level of security....( and Obama did have threats and added security during the Campaign- esp after Palin stirred up the Hate Mongering ...) You are not paranoid....you are thoughtful and respectful of the issues intertwined in this....it is not just manners....
Bob::
you are indeed right...he is a very small man...with no manners or thoughful behaviors....this is why he does not know how to treat people abroad or welcome people to DC...
Battochio::
that is what blew me away...I had seen photos- but I had not realized HOW big it really is....and that they had implied there were MANY people staying there....
A2Dak::
So true- it is always about Hurting someone else...detriment at it's most blatant...and publicly inflicted again....( and yes, indeedy you are right - it was not a total shock- almost expected it...)
Alex::
and yes, Howard's friendliness with Bush also cost him support down under...and respect...and when Bush visited down under, Howard made sure he was well protected and barricaded from the Protestors....
DrKNOW::
yeah...Petty is a good word...but I also think it is worse than that...because as was mentioned above there are security issues involved...and to be honest MOST 8 year olds I know act better than this....but maybe a spoiled rotten brat of an 8 year old...yeah....deep breath....13 days to go...phew...
I thought it sounded suspicious when the bushies said it was reserved. I think it was because they would not name who was going to be staying there. In the end, at the end, the bushies prove how pathetic they can get. Remember, the Obama people did not make a big deal out of the snub at the time and in fact went out of their way to praise the bushies for how cooperative the bushies were.
Anne:::
I agree the Obama's handled the whole thing with great grace...more than we can say for the Bushs...
John Q Public:::
I know...stunning eh? just when we think they can not stoop any lower....something happens to stun us one more time - HOW despicable are they ??? the sooner they are packed up and moved out the better....pathetic...
That was mean and inexcusable of the Bush family to deny the Obamas access to this huge space.
What?? Are all his Texas buddies comin' to Balir house for his leavin' DC par-tay???
The Obamas have kids trying to settle in to a new school & place..... they could and should have helped them out, just to be kind & polite, and for the security.
Just proves the Bush family are low life skanks.
Bush will probably need a shield as much of the citizenry would love to hurl shoes at him.
Bush family= douchebags.
guess that's just one more reason that bush is giving or gave his bffs- tony blair, howard and uribe the congressional medal of honor. yep. they should rename that award the w. bush crony medal.
