I stayed in the Hay Adams once. It is one of the best hotels in town. And I am sure Obama will have no trouble paying for the bill with the millions in campaign and inaugural funds he has at his disposal.

So that entire slap at the Bush’s for denying him an unprecedented privilege to move in early to Blair House was totally unnecessary.

Oops, wonder what floor they will be staying on and just let the SS deal with the stairwells. Besides, how could anyone named Clover Adams be frightening.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

The Hay-Adams is among the top-rated luxury hotels in the world, but it’s also allegedly home to a lingering resident, the ghost of Clover Adams, the wife of Henry Adams, a descendant of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, who took her own life in 1885.

The five star, Italian Renaissance-style apartment hotel — where rooms range from $395 to $6,000 for suites — was named for Clover Adams’ acclaimed author husband, and John Hay, private assistant to President Abraham Lincoln. Both owned homes at the site before the hotel was built in 1928.

The national landmark has 145 rooms with ornamental fireplaces, carved plaster ceilings, marble bathrooms, and Bose CD systems — along with Clover Adams’ ghost.

Staff members say the fourth floor is her favorite place, the National Trust for Historic Preservation reports.

“Examples of staff experiences include unexplained opening and closing of locked doors of unoccupied rooms; clock radios mysteriously turning off and on; the sounds of a woman crying softly in a room or a stairwell; or a voice of a woman asking a housekeeper, ‘What do you want?’ ” the Trust reports.

Looks like Barack Obama got his mule and 40+ acres

This reminds me too much of the buyer of our previous home, who turned out to be quite psychotic, much to our disappointment, since we loved our home and it was emotional to move even without any added drama. She (and her sister) literally parked a little ways off (I could see them from my house) on the day I was to turn in my key to the realtor, WAITING for me to leave!!!! Talk about feeling stalked!!

Kudos to President Bush!!! He said he is sprinting to the finish, so back off Obamas and let the man finish his job!! Sheesh!

Ferget the headlines, Mike. “Post occupancy” is usually a “per diem” charge. And what do you think Obama’s “per diem” chargefor him, family, staff and entourage… not to mention spending plans… would be?

Da Bush’s best beat the bushes for the new abode. Which, I understand they have purchased. But then… they have to close, and the previous residents must move out.

Ya know, they could end up “forced” into a hotel too. But does this make “da news”?

Frankly, blast has made my night with his visual…. still LMAO!

Can’t the Messiah sleep in a stable like the original?

What would the press headlines be if Bush asked permission to stay in the White House two weeks past Inauguration Day?

Sans Chandelier… *looks around* where is that thing after all! I have a perfect comment to make about drinking virtual drinks while taking pysch meds, but I figure if I say that it will come back to haunt me. Oh, I can’t miss the joke either. Oh the irony!
