America has only one President at a time! Remember?

Obama and Bush are clever on this one. Israel has an important war going, and Obama wants to avoid commenting as long as possible because White House war strategy calls for a sharp escalation in military conflict in 2009.

Obama needs us all to support Israel and the coming escalation of war with Pakistan.

So by all means distract the Christian idiots in Seattle with nonsense about guest houses Dan. It's a good way to avoid commenting on the war.

Dan you sort of blew it by coming out so pro-war in Iraq. It's a good idea to tacitly support Israel by making distracting postings about nonsense.

We need more war to bring about peace. As Jews in Seattle we must always support Israel, and The Stranger is right in being so pro-Israel while all the other media is asking embarassing questions.

Israel is the most righteous nation on earth. I love being Jewish and I love Israel!

Christ, the Holiday Inn wouldn't move a hobo in the lobby to make room for John Howard, these days.

My only wish is that we never see Bush attempt any humanitarian efforts that Carter or Clinton, etc. have done. Bush should just be lost in a dark cave of media blackout until his end of days.

BTW, I do support any (and all and way more than anyone has ever had) security that the secret service feels it needs to keep the Obama + family safe. Not because he is Jesus re-incarnate--and he is--but because he has two young kids and I rather like the man. (But, then again I am a Christian).

It's not only assholery it's fucking insecure. And on top of that it costs a lot of money and it inconveniences a whole lot of USA citizens (despite yoru colonization of DC the folks there are Americans you know) to have a whole noth sector blocked off for security.

And remember Blair House has THIRTY FIVE BEDROOMS.

And there's extra bedrooms in the White house, remember? The twins don't live there any more. Why not put them up there?

Why not put them up in Dick Cheney's VP mansion?

Because Bush doesn't like black people.

Shit, he had to organize a white boys luncheon so they could give the presidency to Obama and tell him to be careful with it.

Given the surplus space, this lyling is a deliberate slight. The Obamas have put up with far worse. don't hijack their graciousness to let the lying mean racist unconstiutional antiAmerican George Bush off the hook.

You see, I don't hate him. I just hate his ideas, and his actions, because they are all a mask for arrogance, evil power, and lying, like this episode shows.

How many bedrooms at Blair House are empty? Thirty four?

As in so many things BushLeague, who could be shocked by this final act of churlishness? Pick up this month's copy of Vanity Fair for a sorry oral history of W's eight-year shipwreck and understand from where "hate-fueled" tendency is derived, Mr. Wright.

I don't care if W or Cheney ever spend a day in jail; however, I think proper penance for them would be to travel the country in their bullet-proof Escalades and go to the door of every home in America where a man or a woman lived who has been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan, fall on their knees and ask forgiveness of the survivors who answer the door.

For all I know, this particular story about Blair House is true. But less partisan commentators, including the Obama team, have judged repeatedly that, on the whole, the Bush Administration has handled the transition with unprecedented effeciency and good will. And that's much more important than any minor slight that partisans sieze on to satistfy the last gasps on their hate-fueled Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Kudos!

And the ex-Aussie PM wasn't even booked there when they lied to the Obamas about it being taken.

Lying is a sin, Christianists.
