They had to turn down the thermostat in the White House. You know, shut down and all.

Better than Clapton. 

Here. Have some eye bleach. 

In the second half of the video, when the woman was reeling from what looked like her head hitting the wall. 

You might want to get that looked at.

More like one minute.
