Obama gets sentimental upon leaving Chicago for Washington
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
President-elect Barack Obama said he choked up a little bit when he left his empty house before flying to Washington.
Obama spoke briefly to reporters aboard a government 757 before taking off en route to Andrews Air Force Base. His family went to Washington on Saturday and left him to wander around his Hyde Park home alone.
He said he found a photo album one of his daughter's friends left for the future first family and teared up when he looked through pictures.
Obama also said he wasn't looking forward to living in a hotel for the two weeks before he's allowed to move into his new home. He said he's lived in hotels during two years on the campaign trail.
