Obama transition officials, who have been trying hard to highlight how well the Bush and the Obama families have been getting along, were quick to say that they were not angry about being turned away. “The White House has been extremely accommodating to the Obama family needs — and the entire process has been smooth and friendly,” a transition official said.
White House officials said the protocol was that Blair House is available to presidents-elect starting Jan. 15, five days before the inauguration.
White House protocol – Blair House is available to presidents-elect 5 days before inauguration.
NY TIMES The Clintons stayed at the same hotel rather then the Blair House as well.

Because Obama can take it. He's the bigger man. He's a much bigger and better man that Bush could ever hope to be.

PS: Oh, if anyone sees the Obama’s – tell them to make sure they wash the sheets before the move it, I’m sure Howard has had Bush over a few times.

I think time will have to be the judge of that. As Obama fans are quick to point out, "he hasn't even taken office yet."
Honest to God, I can't figure out why he inspires such allegiance.
I hope you at least have your fingers crossed that he's the saviour you think he is and that his change is something tangible and not just a mantra.
Who gives a flying flip?

You'd think someone like that wouldnt be '' bumped '' from staying in a hotel that is used by president elects before they are innagurated.
And to be bumped by Howard?
