WASHINGTON (AP) -- The future first family pays a visit to their new home Monday.
 
Barack and Michelle Obama will be given a tour of the White House. The president-elect will also meet with President Bush in the Oval Office, while his wife will get a chance to view the living quarters at the Executive Mansion.
 
Bush and Obama are expected to review the nation's enormous economic downturn and the war in Iraq.
 
After visiting the White House, will Obama be returning to the Senate to cast votes during the post-election session? His chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, wouldn't say.
 
Interviewed on CBS' "Face the Nation," Emanuel also would not commit to a Democratic proposal to help the auto industry with some of the $700 billion approved by Congress for the financial bailout.
