I'll score this as another Bush mistake. Pretty petty of you ask me.

If the place is booked, the place is booked.

If it were empty and they were just being difficult, that would be a different story.

This is one amazing hotel - overlooks Lafayette Square and the White House. Great sense of history. Where they stay is so old news though.

And that they did.

So after Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their daughters wrap up an extended family vacation at a $9 million rental home in his native Hawaii on Thursday, they will trade their house in Chicago for a suite at the historic Hay-Adams hotel.

Opened in 1928, the hotel sits across Lafayette Square from the White House, Obama's eventual work place and home. Its name comes from two historical figures who lived on the site: John Hay, the private assistant to President Abraham Lincoln and later secretary of state, and Henry Adams, an author and descendant of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.

The Hay-Adams has 145 rooms and suites, featuring marble bathrooms, intricately carved plaster ceilings and ornamental fireplaces and balconies - with views of the White House, Lafayette Square and St. John's Church - in certain rooms.

Room amenities include custom Italian bed linens and towels, goose down duvets and pillows (hypoallergenic pillows are available; Malia has allergies), plush microfiber bathrobes and slippers for adults and kids, Bose CD music systems with assorted CDs, exclusive Etro toiletries, complimentary Fiji bottled water and a nightly turndown service.

Good call - you should turn that predictive power into cash and use it to get a new X5!

Already have a 2008, but you can never have enough new cars!

I would have helped if they had asked However, I might double book the room and bump them for Rush Limbaugh by mistake
