President-elect Obama and his family are staying in a Washington hotel until they move into the White House. We are told that Blair House, used by Presidents and executives of other nations' is booked-up. No one has published (that I know of) who the "bookee" is. It would be good to know who outranks the President-elect. I called The Washington Post on Saturday and a man at the national desk said they did not know, President Bush had not told them, and they didn't care. I sent an e-mail to The New York Times and have not had a meaningful response from there.
