The American President offers a tour through his White House Office, the so-called Oval Office. He seems to be suffering from amnesia while talking about his office.

Clearly, he prepared himself by memorizing certain phrases and facts about his office. But he seems to derail from his train of thought quite easily and only repeating what he just said gets him back on track.

An Example:

First thing I see in the morning shining through this big windows. They are, uh, magnificent. They let in the sun light.

Then he talks about his paintings:

The other paintings on the wall are from Texas. This a Onderdonk. A man named Julian Onderdonk painted these paitings. A man named Julian Onderdonk was the artist.

About another painting:

This also is a Texan painting, by a named Tom Lea. A personal friend of Laura and mine. He passed away unfortunately this year. This painting here is by Tom Lea, he was a personal friend of Laura and mine.

But his best quote is:

In this office you need to have a great sense of humour, otherwise it makes the day awfully long and the night awfully short.
