The Whitehouse Historical Association, started by Jackie Kennedy sells Christmas ornaments and wooden Easter eggs out of the Whitehouse Visitor Center across the street at the North end of the Commerce Department building.
A separate online store in Pennsylvania runs a Whitehouse Gift shop site that was bought from the the Whitehouse Flower Fund years ago, I think it WA started by the Secret Service Benevolent Association
I took a private tour of the oval office and executive offices back when a friend was working at the Whitehouse health unit, operated by the US Navy, as Eisenhower requested some Navy nurses back in the day, and we received souvenir boxes of Whitehouse M&Ms, that were very tasty, but I saw no gift shop.
When I was on a WH tour (’94?) the gift shop was the first thing we saw. Last time (’04?), none.
I might have taken the regular tour as a kid, and my mom probably distracted me from seeing it, but as a guest of my nurse friend I only toured the executive office area.
I know it was a joke, but I’m easily distracted by trivia…
Dunno
The whole joke was a fib to tickly my fancy.
Even the big meeting was in the East Room.
I hope Europe’s leaders get their heads out of their asses pretty soon because if they don’t they may very well lose them.
One of these days I will figure out why I like Casablanca so much. Meanwhile I like this line:
‘you know Rick I had many a friend in Casablanca but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust’

Best knee-capping is in that same scene.
Ugarte: You despise me, don’t you?
Rick: Well, if I gave you any thought, I probably would.
