Obamas to stay at Hay-Adams

Posted: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 11:16 AM by Domenico Montanaro

From Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie
NBC News has learned the Obamas will be staying at the Hay-Adams in Washington, D.C., until they can move into the Blair House on Jan. 15th.

The New York Times reported this morning "...Obama and his family will move to Washington this weekend in time for his daughters to start school... ."

Shame on the New York Times and all media outlets re-reporting this "story." Is this even news worthy? The security of the President Elect and his family should be top priority. This article is unnecessary.

Keep sniffing that glue, John.

We stayed at that magnificent hotel a couple of years ago and I can guarantee you the Obama's won't be staying in the room we did. Our room had a fabulous view of the garbage cans. The room, which was discounted, was $450 a night. Are we taxpayers paying for their rooms?

So, the current administration didn't realize the Obamas would need a place to stay until Jan. 20 and decided to give parties in the VP's residence. Another example of shortsightedness.

I don't want to know where the President is OK? There are people in this world who would really like to know where he is right? So let 'em find out on their own OK? I know it probably doesn't matter if the Secret Service is doing their jobs, but why don't you shut up about that, stop paying exorbitant prices for photo's and report something important? We the People are smart enough to know that, why would you do such an offensive thing. You remind me of a prostitute when you do that.

And which public school will his childern be enrolled in?
Oh, that's right the rich kids don't have to attend the crapass government schools that the common people send their kids to.
We need VOUCHERS for every child in the US so parents can choose where they wish to send their kids, and to allow the BEST teachers to compete for better jobs.
C'mon Barry, time to get the NEA out of your pocket and make some changes to the education system of this country.
As for "telling everyone where Barry and his family are staying" I'd say the fleet of secret service vehicles and personnel probably was going to be a dead give away anyway.

I hope this is a plant to throw people off. I thought their location was not to be disclosed for security reasons. Why do we have to let the world know where they are staying????? There's too many nuts out there who want to do harm to our PE and his family.
