Mistakes
Keyworth mentions a room he saw on the way to the President's private study on the second floor of the Residence, "on the left." The President identifies it as the Lincoln Bedroom, but given the location of this room in the White House it would have been very hard for him to pass it. He is shown turning left into the study at the entrance to one of the sitting halls -- if it is the East Sitting Hall, the Lincoln Bedroom would be on his right. If it is the West Sitting Hall, he would have never passed it at all, given that he did not come up the Grand Staircase and the Lincoln Bedroom is one of the easternmost rooms on the second floor.
