He actually enjoys talking with people and being the center of attention, I do believe.

10. Sorry for the snarky reply. After 2 mins Bush would have been verbally assaulted there
Plus he wouldn't have had any cash. Love the video. Thanks.

12. Their new HQ is the largest single building in the DC area since the Pentagon
From the Wiki - note the last sentence:

NGA

With the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004<9> on 24 November 2003, NIMA was renamed NGA, to better reflect its primary mission in the area of GEOINT.<10> As a part of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, all major Washington, DC-area NGA facilities, including those in Bethesda, MD; Reston, VA; and Washington, DC will eventually be consolidated at a new facility to be constructed near Fort Belvoir, VA. This new facility, called the New Campus East at this stage, will be massive, housing several thousand people and will be situated on the former Engineer Proving Ground site near Fort Belvoir. NGA facilities in St. Louis were not affected by the 2005 BRAC process.<11>

The cost of the new center, as of March 2009, is expected at $2.4 billion. The center's campus is 2.4 million square feet and is scheduled for completion on September 11, 2011.<12>
