A bit of water was spilled on the President's desk, but..............
A sound technician knocked over a glass of water on the president's desk in the oval office while entering for Obama's photo op with Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
Obama heard something untoward as the press entered the room.
"Uh oh," he said. "What'd you all get there," he inquired.
"A water glass," came the reply from several in the press.
"Alright," he said with unmistakable dismay in his voice, adding sarcastically, "It's the Resolution Desk. It's only like a hundred years old."
Actually, Mr.President, it's the Resolute Desk, made from the timbers of the HMS Resolute, a gift to President Rutherford B. Hayes from Queen Victoria in 1880 . Just ask Nicholas Cage
I guess it is ok to put your feet up on the desk?
