Texan spends $200,000 turning his drive-way into an exact replica of the Oval Office complete with presidential cutlery and phone

White House fan Ron Wade has built an exact replica of the Oval Office in his home costing more than $200,000.

The father-of-two painstakingly recreated the White House's most famous room over four years. 

Obsessed Mr Wade also owns the world's largest collection of presidential memorabilia which is squeezed into the family home.

This is so quintessentially American. I love it, even if it isn’t my thing.

Unfortunately, this publicity will make him a prime target for a break-in.

I don’t know what I find more mind-boggling - that there is a person who is so obsessed with the Oval Office they would let it impact the lives of their family this way...
or,
the fact that same person is actually married.

Just wow.

—— his... drive-way?? ——

It just occurred to me that this could be a mistranslation from English.

Maybe they meant “garage,” or “gah-rah-zh,” as they say.

I saw a story about this guy a while back on one of the cable channels. They had a series (don’t rememeber what it was called - “My Wild Obsession”, or something like that) that did profiles of people with hobbies or collections that were carried to the extreme. In the interview they did with him, he didn’t get into any discussion about what his political leanings might be. He’s harmless - just fascinated by the office of the President.

Did he include a life-sized replica of the lying sack of crap “community organizer” who currently infests that office?

Does the life-sized replica of the lying sack of crap “community organizer” who currently infests that office have its feet up on the desk?
