    Obama Gets Upgraded to USAF Metal


    US President Elect Barack Obama walks down the steps of an Air Force 757 at
    Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, upon arrival from Chicago. Obama arrived in the US
    capital where he was set to meet his wife and daughters and prepare his transition to
    the presidency later this month.

    Hmm, They probably needed him ASAP in DC, for briefings over the middle east issue.

    How did he get back from HI?

    I thought it was either on a UAL 75 or 76.

    Nope. His wife and daughters settled in to a DC hotel last week ahead of school starting tomorrow and now he's joining them.
