It is no different than when the US president visits another county. Arrangements/Security are made months in advance and cannot be changed. The schedule of Blair House is not public, but the UN Secretary General is scheduled to visit DC on Jan. 6, so there is a possible guest. </p> http://chicagoist.com/2009/01/04/mr_obama_goes_to_washington_booked.php#comment-1554533 http://chicagoist.com/2009/01/04/mr_obama_goes_to_washington_booked.php#comment-1554533 Comments Sun, 04 Jan 2009 15:05:01 -0600 <p>really? the guest house was booked? don't you boot those people and put *them* up in the hotel?? it's the president-elect, for heaven's sake.</p>
