Presidential trivia

If this is true, I think it's ridiculous:

The President-elect will also have to get used to handing his glass to a Secret Service agent every time he has a drink outside the White House. The agent carries a small bag in which to pop the glass and later he destroys it. The idea is to ensure that no unauthorised person has access to the presidential DNA, but it is not clear how an enemy would use it.

But if this is true, I like it:

Barack wants to remove the plasma TV from the famous Lincoln bedroom. Instead, he wants guests to read.
