WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- An emotional Barack Obama said goodbye to his Chicago home and hello to Washington and what awaits him as the 44th U.S. president.
The Obamas' home for the next 10 days will be the Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington, before moving to Blair House on Jan. 15, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday. The family flew to Washington during the weekend -- wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha left Saturday and Obama Sunday -- so the first daughters could begin school Monday.
