Blair House: No Vacancy Mr Obama

President-elect Obama and family have to move into the Hayes Adams hotel until the 15th of January since President Bush says Blair House is not available until the (scheduled / required) 15th of January.

This op-ed which is well worth a read and the attached comments are ten times worth being read. I take liberty to quote one here, but there are many.

I gladly join these people in asking the media to find out the who, what, and why of BLAIR HOUSE not being available per Mr Bush for the Obama family. When you consider the importance to his children who start school and have to be in DC.

The bigger story is - who is staying at the Blair House and
why are they more important than the President-Elect and his family? If the
current lame duck prez & his family are STILL important although very much
irrelevant at this time - then why are the Obamas not as important considering
they are MORE relevant than the sitting president?
NYT - do a little digging.
Who is at Blair House? Why are they so important to be there at this time? Other
incoming presidents have moved in earlier in previous years. Obama’s request is
common.
In my opinion, this just comes to show America how much of a mistake
Bush has been even up to the very last minute. The best day will be when we do
not have to have him anywhere near the WH again!

U. S. A. Declairs War On Global Warming

These very strongly background ed people mean that our President-elect is going to take Science, Technology, and Global warming on head on!! Further it will not be on the back burner as President Bush kept all sciences; often what was reported was twisted or just an out right item of misinformation.

"Today, more than ever before, science holds the key to our survival as a
planet and our security and prosperity as a nation,” the president-elect says.
“It’s time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and worked to
restore America’s place as the world leader in science and technology.”

CHICAGO – Seeking to draw a distinction with President George W. Bush, Barack
Obama named his top science and technology advisers Saturday and pledged to
“once again put science at the top of our agenda.”

The president-elect campaigned on a promise of treating science differently
than Bush, whose administration was criticized by scientists as ignoring
research and distorting facts suit its own ends.
