美国当选总统奥巴马及其一家于星期四结束在夏威夷的假期后,将在本周末搬迁到华盛顿。奥巴马一家将在靠近白宫的一个专用旅馆住下,以便及时让他们的女儿星期一开始在一家私立学校上课。
奥巴马一家将入住历史悠久的海.亚当斯饭店。等待宣誓就任的美国新总统通常住在白宫的正式宾馆–布莱尔国宾馆,但是布什政府说,这家宾馆的房间被订满,一直到1月15号、也就是奥巴马宣誓就任总统的5天前才有空房间。
这位当选总统将在新一届国会星期二开会前抵达华盛顿,他还将在星期三与布什总统和几位前美国总统在白宫共进午餐。
U.S. President-elect Barack Obama and his family will move to Washington, D.C., this weekend after wrapping up their vacation in Hawaii today (Thursday). The Obama family will settle into an exclusive hotel near the White House in time for the couple’s daughters, Malia and Sasha, to begin classes at a private school on Monday.
The family will stay at the historic Hay Adams hotel. Incoming U.S. presidents who are waiting to be sworn into office often stay at the Blair House, the official guest residence of the White House. But the Bush administration says the guest house is booked until January 15th, five days before Mr. Obama is sworn into office.
The president-elect will be in Washington in time for a new Congress to be sworn in on Tuesday and for a White House luncheon on Wednesday with President George Bush and former U.S. presidents.
