Factual error: Towards the end of the movie, George W. Bush is seen walking through the Cross Hall of The White House towards what is in reality The East Room. Behind him we see a large staircase with a plant next to it on the other end of the hall. These should not be there: that is where the door to the State Dining Room really is. In the next shot we see W. coming upstairs from a winding staircase that doesn't exist.

George H. W. Bush: Who do you think you are, a Kennedy? You're a Bush. Act like one.
Trivia: Christian Bale was originally cast as George W. Bush, but left the production before filming started. Josh Brolin was cast at the last minute instead.
