Via Real Clear Politics:
This summer there will be two Oval Offices in the White House complex, and it won’t be a case of double vision.
In preparation for a major, two-year renovation of the West Wing, the government is undertaking extensive work to complete a new executive office for President Obama at the south end of the adjacent Eisenhower Executive Office Building, RCP has learned.
The president’s facsimile Oval Office, created as a nearly identical replica of the most famous ovoid room in the world, is slated to be ready for occupancy by August if Obama is ready to move and if design challenges are resolved. The build-out of the new “West Wing quarters” inside the Eisenhower building has begun, but unforeseen construction hurdles may alter plans for the eventual placement of the new office inside the EEOB, according to several knowledgeable sources.
The timing of Obama’s move to a substitute executive suite is in part dependent on the president’s readiness to begin working in the temporary quarters for what could be as long as two years, sources told RCP. The West Wing phase of a larger, $376 million project begun in September 2010 was put on pause through last year’s election, although funding and contracts were ready, the sources said. If Mitt Romney had won in November, Obama would have handed decisions about whether and how to proceed with the rehab project to his successor, they added.
Some folks think they are scrapping D.C. and moving everything to Denver.
I'd nominate Siberia, instead. Or maybe the Falkland Islands. Or Wake, might be good.
Or maybe some high mountain valley without electricity in Patagonia.

$376 MIL... That's a pretty big ego project!
In other words about a $1.00 per cubic inch of that vacuum space filled with hollow arrogance between his ears? They must have to tether him like the Goodyear blimp to keep him remotely "in touch" (in a manner of speaking) with the planet.
