Not from idiots who think it can be frozen by pumping liquid nitrogen into it.

It was given by the interior department, namely the MMS whose head resigned
just a few short hours before BHO gave his long overdue press conference.

It shouldn't be hard for you to do a Google search of your own to verify

Uh... in BHO's case, he's not "run[ning] the country, he's golfing,
taking vacations, refusing to comment or answer hard questions from the
press and trying to bribe Congressmen to drop out of primary races.
