An inventory for the President

It's inauguration day. And that means it's also moving day for the Bush and Obama families. As I've often stated, if you don't have an inventory, a good time to create that list and photographic documentation is when you're moving.

According to an Associated Press article, "an inventory is taken of everything in the White House before a first family moves out to determine what is government property and what belongs to them personally. A dispute arose after the Clintons left in 2000 and took $190,000 worth of china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts with them. Some argued the items were donations to the White House instead of personal gifts, and the Clintons eventually returned some items and paid for some others."
