President-elect Barack Obama steps aboard a military(軍事的) plane at Chicago Midway Airport
January 4，2009 before flying to Andrews Air Force Base near Washington. Obama is moving to
Washington 16 days before being sworn（發(fā)誓）in as the 44th President of the United States on January 20.
   Barack Obama is not afraid to admit it-he got a little emotional before leaving Chicago for Washington
where he will soon become the next president of the United States. "I’ve got to say that I choked up a
little bit leaving my house today."said Obama, who will become the nation’s first black president when he takes office on January 20.
   He took a moment to reflect before shutting the door of his house and heading off for his new life."The
house was empty.It was a little tough.It got me." he told reporters after boarding the Air Force Boeing 757 that would take him to Washington.
   But after his emotional farewell(告別) to their home, Obama headed to the airport to fly to Washington
and join his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasba.They arrived in Washington on Saturday to settle into a hotel without the media entourage(隨行人員) that follows Obama everywhere.
   Asked if he was excited about the move, Obama mentioned indirectly the tiring presidential campaign when he said: "Yeah.Although living in a hotel for two weeks-we seemed to have done that for two years."
   The Obama will stay at the luxury Hay Adams Hotel across a park from the White House until January 15 when they move into Blair House，which serves as the official guest house and residence for presidents elect for several days before the inauguration(就職演說).
   Obama was already beginning to experience what it will be like to be a president.He traveled aboard the military aircraft which often used to fly Vice-President Dick Cheney around.Although the airplane was not called Air Force One because Obama is not yet president，it had all the outward signs of the real thing：the presidential seal(圖章) at the front of the plane，name cards with the presidential seal and cups and plates marked with "Air Force one”.
