To dmjakers:
Excellent points my friend!
I think these first four years will definitely put more salt in his hair.
I'm reminded of the Shel Silverstein cartoon of a man standing in front of an enormous steering wheel attached to the world when I think about the challenges this President must face.

Good luck, my friend, Mr. President.

There are still quite a few Obama haters out there. You all might as well stop your whining and complaining. This man has been elected as our next President and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Your voting against him, didn't stop him and neither will your gripes and complaints.

We are very fortunate that this time around, we have someone with a "brain that actually functions". He has picked an outstanding staff and cabinet officials. He and Vice-President Elect Biden have offered this country something we have not had for a very long time and that is "real hope".

My suggestion to all you haters is that you go and have a colon cleansing, because you are full of Toxins!!!

To TCM:

How many people do you know that ran for president with "actual" presidential experience? You make sense only to yourselves and probably your kool-aid drinking family. You are truly a clown. Why not spend some time getting an education instead of letting the world view your wealth of ignorance!!!!

Move.., the sooner the better.. Actually.., would you help President George W. Bush move back to Texas.., the sooner the better. Do you have a 'shoe' to throw ? Mike in Montana

God's speed. They can't get there soon enough for me.

I despise Democrats. I especially despise the simple minded, mean spirited people who responded to this post. I wish you all a non prosperous New Year. You have elected the right guy to make my wish come true.

Who cares where the Obama family stays until they move into the White House? As long as the Bush family moves out, I couldn't really care less…

OK. Republican brothers and sisters our time has arrived!! Keep hammering away at Barack Obama! Make sure he gets blamed for everything from the economy to the busitis in your aunt Gretchens left shoulder just like they blamed President Bush and the Republican's for everything! Fight for our core values and fight for OUR country!! Don't give in and don't give up!! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Let these air headed Liberal's know the truth!! Make those mid term 2010 elections a landslide that they won't forget!!

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE HOW OBAMA HANDLES THE CURRENT CRISIS IN ISRAEL, REMEMBER HE IS A MUSLUM

how come Obama was the ONLY african american in the senate, but african americans make up 15% of the us population?

"The officials also note that the President-elect will be in Washington to “continue work on an economic recovery plan.”"

!!!!!!!!!

What?!!? I thought there was only one President??? How can he work and this, and even talk about it, but be completely silent about the events in Gaza????

Best wishes to the family as they go forward, and I agree with proud american…move the bushes out and let the Obamas move in, he has a lot to clean up and he certainly should not be having to move 3 times in three weeks in the midst of everything else that he has to do. I am so proud of the time that I spent on the phones and walking through town handing out fliers–it did and WILL make a difference to our future.

elvera: Isn't the hate that you speak of the same hate that you spewed at President Bush??

I don't know about you other Obama supporters, but do you get the sense the Republicans are running on empty. I mean, for one, they pop on to every blog to make stupid comments about Obama, even when it involves his children.

So far, every comment that they have made on every blog makes no sense or they use terms that were used 40 years ago. Welfare check, entitlement, blah, blah. You are running on empty Repubs and your thoughts are comments are USELESS. Get over it, it is a new day and it is time for fresh intelligent thinkers to run this country. YOU LOST and if you keep it up YOU WILL LOOSE AGAIN IN 2012.

Obama's for throwing more money at education, does anyone know why he isn't sending his kids to a public school then?

Proud American: On the "serious side"?? So,you don't really believe Obama is the messiah??

I am a huge fan and excited, but this is not a big deal. This was actually in the media on Dec 12. This is an old story. Tradition has the President Elect moving in to the Blair House on January 15 and that is when it will happen. Plans are already in place for other events. jan 20 will be here soon!

Speechwriter what are you a Idiot?

Please be nice to Danny, he can't help it. The poor guy is retarded.

Jail Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Gonzalos, Powell, Rice, Ashcroft and the rest of his cabinet… Blago as well, he is equally as trustworthy

Has anyone thought about moving the Bush's to Blair house and the Obama's into the White House now. Let's face it, Bush has nothing to offer and is just wasting precious time. Move Now

To No Hillary = No Obama: Get Over It Already.
No Obama = No Hillary – or haven't you read the news lately?

Hillary is there to do the job of Sec. of State – the President Elect already looks like the work horse and he isn't even in office yet. It's time to come on board with the Democrat who won the nomination and the election. It's a sorry state of affairs if you think Barack Obama is not educated – please explain how you came to that conclusion.

GOD speed to you Mr President Elect and to your family too. I am saddened that President went on vacation in September and let your plate pile high with problems. Take your time and do the best you can. I know the task before you are not easy so i will give you the time you need to resolve them. Let me know if you will need another 4 years and we will arrange that for you.

He's the president elect. He has a secret service retinue that checks out ever location he goes to, and does the same for every member of his family. He can't book a room in a hotel like everyone else.

Get real. This was beyond petty.

All the best President-Elect Obama!

Those girls are darling. I hope their adjustment goes well

OBAMA did say that a President must be able to do more than one thing at a time (remember back when McCain tried to back out of the debate?).
But this is ridiculous! He's running the transition, hiring a cabinet, White House staffers and an entire government, MOVING, and all this while on vacation!
For most mere mortals, moving would be more than enough to totally stress someone out, but Superman is planning to move THREE times in THREE weeks. To DC, then to Blair House, then to the White House.
Throw in Blagojevich, Cuba, Putin-Medvedev, Bin Laden, Iran, Gaza-Israel, and a power failure in Hawaii, and I have to wonder how he keeps his hair from falling out.

Hey Danny, shut up you looser. You are stupid if you wanted Mccain and dummy Palin.

The Obama's should get Blair House when all President elects gets it.-and I understand that will be the 15th of January. I wonder what all of you "worshipers" of Obama are going to say when he can't "part the waters" that you seem to think that he can. He CANNOT be all things, to everyone, even though that is what he promised during his campaign.

And hopefully now his little girls will be allowed to go to school and live their lives in privacy. Mr. Obama and his wife may be public figures, but their children should be off-limits and should be allowed to have a childhood.

Welcome Mr. President.

more days before Mr Obama and his administration begin the real work. They have already been working hard, which is amazing to me ~ never saw such a thing from our leaders. I pray for the Obama family (lot of wacky, angry people out there) and the new administration, as well as all leaders (yes, even Republicans) of our country. I hope that ALL of them will find a way to lead this country out of the current "messes" we are in and do it with trust and good will. Okay, so I can hope…it is a new year…I am ready to start over and give everyone a fresh start, even the Obama haters who hang out on the "Ticker."

THANK YOU Mr Obama for taking on these huge challenges.

I wish the Obama Family and everyone else a wonderful and prosperous New Year.

Bradley Jenkins, is that your way of telling us that you're moving to DC..?

This is a little absurd honestly. The location the Obamas were asking to stay in is inside the secret service envelope in the district which makes it among the very few places they really can stay.

Certainly the Bush Administration can afford to host its last few parties somewhere that is mildly less convenient

To all of you who continue to spew hate and lies against our President-elect Barack Obama, shut up and sit quietly in your caves, jail cells, mental institutions, etc. You belong to the McCain/Palin gang, stay there and do not crawl out! You must not participate in any intelligent discussions because you have no brains, decency or any common sense.

The Obama sheep sound like Jonestown members. You have no clue if hes good for this country or not. I dont either. He hasnt done anything and you people worship him like he was Jim Jones.

On the serious side, It's my hope and prayer that all Americans regardless of party have a safe and Happy New Year. I hope we can come together as a country and unite as one. We have alot to look forward to in the coming year.

God speed to the Obama family. We're glad to have you. And to all of you who aren't so happy about it, GET OVER IT. He is the next President of this great country. If this bothers you, get the heck out and go live in some other country, okay? We don't need you.

Actually, it was ungracious of the Obama's to expect to move into Blair House early, no matter what the reason. The date has always been the 15th. Some of you think Obama and his family are so special that everyone else should just accommodate THEM.

The Bush's have shown incredible hospitality during the transition.
One last thing: what will you Obamabots do when he is criticized and mocked for decisions like YOU trashed Bush? Turn around is fair play…or is it?

To "Bradley Jenkins" I wonder what neigborhood you are infesting!!!

To "Independent Female Voter":

Obama haters with negative and vengeful comments? I see a lot more negative and vengeful comments towards our current President. Frankly, I don't care what any of you think of George W. Bush. Most people don't like him. But he is the President of the United States of America. I repeat, he is the President of the United States of America. That title deserves and commands respect. Now, I did not vote for Barack Obama, but I will respect him as the President of the United States. I'd just like to see a little reciprocation.

TO A WOMAN IN CALIFORNIA;

You have to either be bald or have stick-straight hair.

For the curious on Black hair or hair of Bi-racial people: It can range from the very dry, course kinky, to wavy and oily, straight oily or straight dry.

In the summer or warmer climates, their particular course hair frizzes, ok? They are toooo young for chemical relaxers. Their mom does not have to go around frying their hair with hot combs and flat irons to make them more integrated into what society thinks is beautiful.

Let the girls play in the sun, water and if their hair frizzes or naps up, so be it. ITS CALLED VACATION until their dad becomes busy with his other children the Dems and Repubs.

President elect Obama I pray for you, First Lady to be Michelle, I pray for you, and Obama kids , I pray for you also. About the house, I think we should move Bush out of the White House now, he is just a lame duck president. And the Obama Family ought to be moving in the White House now. But I guess we have to wait our turn, DOG GONE!!

Proud American has trouble distinguishing between y-o-u-r and y-o-u-'-r-e. He obviously has failed to learn the difference between words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings. He needs to work on this oversight.

Proud American, you idiot, if you want that clown to start 3 weeks early, you pay him. Of course, you'll be busy working to cover all his entitlement programs, unless you're one of those "Proud Americans," slurping up the freebies! You continually call conservatives idiots on your posts…yet, you're the one who supports the most inexperienced, most radical, incompetent numbskull to enter politics….would you allow a mechanic with no experience to work on your car? A surgeon with no experience to cut you? So, who's the real idiot here? McCAin wasn't a shining star, but there's no room for OJT on this job….what a clown.

My heart smiles when I look at this picture and the knowledge that this fine man is going to be leading our country.

I hear some sour grapes about Hillary. If Hillary is so great, how was President elect Obama able to out maneuver her and run a near perfect campaign? And he did this without all the IOU's and big money that Hillary & Bill had to call on. President elect does not need Hillary — in fact, it is the one appointment so far that I do have concerns about, but I trust it was a very considered and calculated move – the kind of move he exemplified in his campaign.

Blair house is small stuff for small minds. I can understand why George would feel uncomfortable having Obama next door during the close out of George's administration, though it would have been extremely gracious of him to extend the courtesy. Obama won't dwell on it – not his nature. So we shouldn't either.

Blessings to the Obamas and to the US. Hoping for much brighter days ahead.

President Obama, I know tha you and yours will have a successful move. With God's protection given to you in Ps. 91, your family and administration will be fine. We will continue to pray.

To: Bradley Jenkins & Jon

You, like Rev. Wright, have not grown with society. Your mindsets are stuck in the past. It is now the 21st Century. With the economy the way it is, be happy to be a member of a neighborhood, and not homeless. Recessions tend to dismiss stereotypes. Poverty has no color. Be grateful for what you have.

Juan Grain – Au Contraire….

Gov. Blago… is the only person under fire in Chicago. The proud residents are doing fine, most are loving the President-Elect and family, and anxiously awaiting Jan. 20, 2009. Happy New Year to all!

To President-elect Obama and Family: We wish you the best in your new roles.  Our prayers and encouragement are with you daily as you face the many challenges and problems facing our great country.  We are thankful for you and the hope you bring a country in turmoil.  May God's strength and wisdom be with you each step of the way!

I will be praying for President Obama and his wonderful family. I klnow that he loves his family and will only have the best for them. May God bless you and be with you as you lead us in these trying times. Yes we can work together to regain the strength that we had as a nation. I know that you have been chosen for such a time as this. We are standing with you!

The Blair House is used to house DIPLOMATS when they are in the country. You want to know who is there, drive by and see what Country's flag is flying.

And yes, we should respect the Obama girl's privacy. Now if all of you Dems would please refrain from posting hateful things on Bristol Palin's story regarding the birth of her baby, we could actually make some progress.

My heart is just filled with so much JOY that this day has finally come…Barack Obama and his family on their way to their new home at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!! Never would I have thought in my lifetime that I would see this history making moment!!! May God forever bless President-Elect Barack H. Obama and Family as they transition into the role of President of the United States of America, and The First Family. May He keep His arms of protection around them and give them peace.

Proud American looks still on the Obama campaign and is being paid by them. Everybody is an idiot for him and he seems to be proud of himself. Get a life. You are boring with one track mind.

Good for the Obama's to get settled so their daughter's can start school. Those girls deserve a normal transition and a normal life while they reside in the White House. I hope people leave them alone so they can have the normal life they deserve.

Mary just stop, he is receiving the customary use of the Blair house. Quit being bitter because they are not receiving special treatment.

Congrats to Barack and family for (almost) moving in! Great news!

But, when Don Imus made his disgusting racist comments, Obama wrote a beautiful letter to NBC telling them that if he had someone working for him who said anything that racist or sexist as Imus uttered his hate toward the AA Rutgers girls, Obama would fire him immediately! Which was great. But tell us why, Mr. Obama, you still have in your employ, and have promoted, rather than kick him in the posterio, that sexist,misgynist Pun Director of Speechwriters, the 27-year-old inebriated sexist Mr. Jon Favreau!? Why are you not firing him? Instead, you promoted him to Director! What kind of message are you giving, Prez-elect, to your little girls who will grow up. Would you want one of your tgirls, or wife, to be the subject of crude, cruel cardboard groping ? Please answer the women who voted for you!

To the Woman in California For Obama: Children hair messes up at times, I'm a grown up and mines does also. Nothing wrong with the children's hair. Lay off the kids, okay. I bet they are smart, well manner you girls. Let's continue to pray for the Obama Family.

Yeah Obama!!!
May we as Canadians someday be as blessed with someone like him. God speed Barack and his wonderful family to undo all the Bush mistakes.
May we always be great neighbours.

They are wonderful role models as parents–helping their kids to adjust, being there for them, and making sure they start right at the beginning of the school term.

It will be so nice to see a young, attractive and dynamic family in the White House. The President-Elect has his work cut out for him. Let's all keep this fine family in our prayers and thoughts. And may God bless and keep the Obama family,.

Incredible that common folk outrank a President-elect when it comes to Blair House. There should be a law against that. Let the Bush friends/relatives stay in hotels and put the Obama Family in Blair House as they should be. I hate to think how they will be treated on the day of the swearing–in. Although with that being mostly open to public view, I think it may be handled more gracefully.

As a taxpayer, I'd like to know who is using the Blair House currently, when it should be used for 'the President the American people REALLY DID VOTE FOR'! God Bless the Obamas and Bidens!

It's just another slap by this 'do-nothing' president – don't let the door hit you on the a– on your way out – counting the days until you are gone.

May the winds always be at Obama's back, the sun on his face, his supporters in heart and those who oppose him with open ears and minds willing to learn.

On to a better America.

Dont' get too excited. Republicans are sharpening their knives and waiting at the airport and hotel ready to stab every policy (help) he wants to give them.

No policy Obama raises will be enough or right enough for the right, unless Rove/Rush/Hannity blesses it. Either the man is too cool or not forceful enough in his responses. Let the man be who he is. His personality should not be dictated by the raging lunatics who shout their guests down on their shows.

No Drama/Obama 08!

To all of you Obama haters with your negative and hateful comments.

Why don'y you all put that energy into starting the indictments for Bush and Cheney!!! You expect us smart people to vote for the same after what Republicans have done for the last 12 years? I DON'T THINK SO! The Obamas are smart, articulate, and a beautiful family. The people made their choice. So God Bless this family and I pray everyday that HE is with them on cleaning up the mess of 12 years of Rebulican rule.

God Bless the Obama's I hope visits First Baptist Glenarden!

Aurora LeBrun your the most reasonable and intelligent person on this blog. God Bless You for your common sense. I think it's safe to say Blair House is not full, Who would want to visit the Bush's. End of story.

i hope the move will go smoothly, may your years as president of the U.S be blessed every day.

A time for celebration! What a beautiful first family!!! yayayaya!!!

Texas Teacher: I hope you don't have any children!! You are such an air head!!

Proud American?!?: Don't worry you'll get your cost of living increase in your welfare check!!

No Hillary No Obama and Messiah Watch you both are so funny .Obama's supporters are getting a kick out of seeing your frustrations in your comments along with the other stupid Obama haters on this blog.Why don't you do something for yourself and go find a life because it really sounds like you need one..Obama have more important things than to read these silly comments and your certainly not hurting his supporters so just why do you keep posting these hate comments and who in their right mind cares?Oh you know the economy is really bad now or have you heard ?..Just asking I just thought a liitle detour of thought would keep you focused on what most americans are more worried about other then devisive comments about Obama

To I seeu2—have you forgotten about the sorry ex-president who played around with interns while in the Oval office, literally, when he was supposed to be working hard for America? And the Bush teens were in college and Sarah Palin's daughter never got to the White House, so that doesn't fly. Keep it in perspective and hope that the nepotism already happening doesn't do too much damage over the next four years.

THERE IS NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY OUT OF WASHINGTON. THE BLAIR HOUSE NEEDS TO THE COMPLETELY FUMIGATED BEFORE OBAMA AND HIS PRECIOUS FAMILY MOVES IN.

SWEET!

I NEED MY STIMULUS CHECK NOW!!!!!!!

Managed to skip the ramen noodles tonight and got two items from Wendy's Super Value Dollar Menu. Shuttee already, I deserved the treat.

How come Republican's are so stupid?

"Pat" I believe it's safe to say you will never get Blair House. Idiot

Thank God, We have someone with a few brains for once, Good luck to the Obama family

I Wish Obama and his family best of health and peace in their new phase of life.
Will the press take the lenses off of the Obama kids. If the press could hide Kennedy's affairs they should respect the kids privacy.

"Bradley Jenkins" your a complete Idiot, who let you out of the basement and where is your helmet?

Good luck to the Obama's may God protect you all. Such a lovely young family. Michelle Obama you are such a role model I really hope all goes well for you and your beautiful family. Hope your mother enjoys her life in the White house for the next 8yrs. I just love Mr Obama!

Happy New year President elect Obama and all the family our prayers are with you .
Obama 2009-2012

1. Interesting remarks about Obama-not a lapdog to special interests(Acorn, LaRaza, we'll see) or the super rich(can I say 9mil house in Hawaii, private schools)
2. You should watch remarks about politicians children.
3. I'd watch out for remarks about drugs and drinking(I'd hate to bring up someone's last 2 years of high school)
4. You guys are like the plates and coins with Obamas face on them-commemorating his presidency-but wait, he's only been playing president in the media, he hasn't been one for real yet.
5. I'm sure you want everyone to be nice to Obama and his family and you'll see how hateful you've been towards the Bush family.
6. Thank you President Bush for all you've done to keep us safe.
7. I wish Mr. Obama well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR President-elect Obama and the First Family.
Hope you got at least a moments rest.
Of the many positions that you could have selected, I, for one you chose to be President!
President-elect and Vice President-elect, we are awaiting your arrival along with the rest of your Administration.
I have only one Savior, serve only One Master, and my prayers are as He has already written what is to be, that my prayer is that He blesses you and VP -elect Biden with the strength, patience, and morals to lead this great country of ours on a better path.
Welcome to your new homes..President-elect and Vice President and your families.
God bless us one and all, HIS mankind.

Prayerfully, the shrub will stay in Crawford for a couple of weeks snoozing and Obama can get some work done.

Someone needs to work on the economy.

May God's almighty blessings to President Barack Obama & America!

happy new year to the Obamas and to everyone else. Now can't we all make a new year's resolution to speak positively and work together instead of the bickering?

Happy New Year to us! Oh happy day! Here's to 1/20/2009!

Bradley Jenkins – You are a moronic bigot. This Country can do without people like you.

Godspeed to the Obama family!

Good for him. Atleast he will start to learn about the streets and corner stores while he takes his kids to school……..

God bless this family. Real role model for this country!

No Hillary = No Obama – you need a couch or a support group.

He won. . . get over it. "Poor thang," don't wast all the time you have left grieving over Hillary or hating Obama, you don't really know them and they surely don't know you. So please get on with your life. And if you have children,grandchildren, a husband or friends…give some of that attention to them. I'm sure they will love you for it.

God bless our new President, keep him and his family in your grace oh Lord. Amen.

Dear Mr. Obama Americans are willing to pay you 1 year salary to start 3 weeks early. Please help us, we NEED YOU NOW

thank God! americans are finally getting someone with brains in the white house.

Uh oh, there goes the neighborhood!!

I am happy that the Obama`s have found a solution. I don`t know why Blair House isn`t available earlier, but I can`t see that W is using it for parties. It would have been nice if the current tenants had volunteered to move swap Blair house for the hotel the Obamas are going to use,.

Good. He is thinking of his children. Wonderful President elect Obama. Welcome to Washington. God bless you and your family And Happy New Year.

Yes We Can!

There is nothing wrong with the girl's hairstyle, when they are at an event they are dolled up, no need for curls and elabrate hairstyles when on vacation at water parks.

Security on Obama??? No Security over OBama for the benefit of the rest of America…. Obama will be in Cold Storage…. Isolation! Good.
America needs to be protected… Guantnamo???? GOOOOOOOD!!!

Dear "No Hillary = No Obama" you are so sad. Hope you have a better new year – because you have sure been "spiteful" since the Nov 2 election results!

Hillary will work for Obama alright – and I am sure will do a good job – and he will decide the policies to set forth re Mid-East – 2 ongoing "wars" – economy woes – wall street woes – main street woes –

I dearly hope he and his family had as good a rest from "business as usual" although, because he is very engaged & concientious- this was a working vacation – as well as one of remembrance for his grandmother. I wish people who are so negative would just give the man a break – and be thankful such a dynamic person was willing to lay his life & privacy on the line and serve as President of the US – no easy task – just ask all the previous Presidents! – He could have just sat back and made oodles of money doing something else and thinking of no-one but himself – a much easier road I'm sure.

I do look forward to seeing Obama in the White House and soon!

WAY TO GO OBAMA…. TIME TO CLEAN THIS WHOLE MESS THAT BUSH CREATED.. THE AFRICAN PEOPLE ARE 100% BEHIND YOU !! GOOD LUCK.

Oh NoHillary=No Obama,
Can you please get over your bitterness and open your eyes. Your woman lost to her more capable opponent because of his grit, intellect, savvy, and just plain better political skills. Old workhorse Clinion was a solid and generrous pick for secretary of state, but nothing but a junior senator from NY and husband of a former president without Obama

God Bless American
God Bless our Brave Troops
God Bless Obama and his family!!!

To No Hillary.. all I can do is LMAO over this iditioc comment.

It's a tough road ahead for Obama and America. Thank goodness we have him.

We will miss the Obamas in Chicago and in Hyde Park. Was good and fun while they were here. On to bigger and better things! Much success in Washington DC to the Obama family, friends and staff.

Finally!!! Hurry up and take office President Obama. Finally competent people will in the White House- Obama, Clinton, Richardson, etc. The world has been waiting for this day for 8 years!!!

Like I said before the 1st snarky remark of a PUMA

BB December 30th, 2008 7:16 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Here come the right wing snarky remarks

My kind of President!

thats attractive.

Not surprising, I was always convinced that the Obamas made their daughters' best interests a priority. Hope they settle into their new school without a hitch.

Glad he didn't get Blair House BEFORE he was entitled to it.

George W is so ungracious – which is typical of his terms of office. I don't care if people in his administration want to have going away parties at the Blair House, the Obamas should have first dibs on the house since it's for a good reason – for the girls' school situation. Our president elect deserves better.

STOP THE PRESSES! The guy who is going to be president is moving to Washington!

Breaking News!

It's about time!

At least we now have a president (elect) that is real leader, and not just a lap dog for special interests and the super rich

How nice it is to have a young family move into the white house… No more drunken teens(Bush girls) or unwed pregnant teens( Palin girl) and they all are Republican-moral majority right-right?

Time to put away the bathing suits, the shaved ice, the golf clubs, the strolls, the morning work outs at the gym, the vaction compound and get to work. Work? Oh wait, that's what he has Hillary Clinton for – Clinton will be Obama's work horse – Hamas & Israel – a chronic Hatfields and McCoy – Clinton, who has the substance and experience will have to tackle what Obama's brain can't fix.

How can the Bush administration deny the President-elect and his family the early use of Blair House? Original stories said the house was full, but I cannot imagine of any guest that would trump the new first family. I was not an Obama supporter, but I applaud their decision to move earlyto allow a smooth transition for their daughters, and I deplore yet one more mean-spirited and ill-thought action by the Bush administration.

the sooner the better!!

Obama can't get there fast enough! He and his administration really have their work cut out for them. The mess that Bush has left is really bad! God speed Barack!

I believe it's safe to say that this guy is needed in Washington now. When was the President Elect required in Washington a full 3 weeks prior to taken office? Let's all thank God he available and willing.

It's about time, someone with a brain shows up in Washington. I've waited my entire life almost 40 years for someone like Obama to lead this nation. God Bless America and the Obama's.

And no doubt he will ride into town in his own private rail car like Vladimer Lenin.

After that extravagant vacation, if he say anything about raising taxes on anyone, spreading the wealth, or shared sacrifices, I will vomit in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Con-g to the Obama Family! God and my family will be with you, 2009-2016!

Yea, I don't blame you Chicago is on fire!

Such an great president elect I wonder what comments are going to come about his move to Washington something stupid I'm sure from the Obama haters.I sure wish it was Palin going back to lala land with all her hate inticing and her stupid winking and flirting for those stupid republicans that fell for thak lunitic.She will go down as the worst mistake John McCain made choosing her as a running mate and no matter how much he praises her he knows it too about the new grandma airhead

See? The availability of the Blair House is no biggie. Other arangements can always be made as long as circumstances are known ahead of time.

And bring a Rabbi to bless the front and back of your new home.
I will continue to keep you, President elect Obama, and your family in my prayers. Happy Moving!

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

it's very un-presidential for our new commander-in-chief to be put on a hotel list, while other unimportant people are occupying the Blair House, it should become a law against what Bush is backhandling to President-elect Obama

Great news.

I hope the girls will enjoy their new school. Although I find the girls to be adorable, I hope Michelle spends more time on their hair styles.

God bless the Obama family!!! My prayers always be with you. Happy New Year!!

Here come the right wing snarky remarks.

All that moving has got to suck.
