13. He has no idea how big the ballroom

will actually be. He just pulled 90K out of his ass (which is why the whole thing stinks so bad). He's also a vindictive fuck who hates women and the First Lady's office was always in the East Wing.

A friend who used to work in the White House did say that they needed a bigger space (that Obama was spilling out into tents on the lawn) but that the East Wing is where the entrance to the bunker is so what's going on with that?
