- Obamas told they can't stay in mansion
- Former Australian Prime Mister, John Howard already has place booked
- Obamas have to move into a hotel
BARACK Obama and his family have been forced to move into a hotel because John Howard is staying at their place.
The former prime minister and his wife Janette are booked to stay at Washington’s Blair House on January 12 as he will receive the US Medal of Freedom from outgoing President George W. Bush the following day.
Blair House, a 119-room mansion, is the official state guest house of the US president and traditionally where incoming US presidents stay before their inauguration.
The Obamas will take up residence there on January 15 but had asked to move in on January 4 so their daughters could settle into school.
The funniest part of this story are the comments from the citizens of Australia on John Howard, the medal of freedom, and his place alongside Bush in the historical dustbin of Iraq. Check-out the readers comments at one of the AU's newsites here.
