At least a future Romney White House will find a special spot for the Churchill bust.

Gaybama sending the Churchill bust back to the UK on day 1 signaled to me we were in serious if not fatal trouble.

The ABMR crowd is making me sick. We need to get rid of Obama and hold Romney to task.

ABO.

“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and by gosh if they won’t leave, we’ll walk in a drag Obama and Michelle out of the White House with hay hooks.”

I consider Churchill one of the most important people of the 20th century. I was insulted, I could imagine the English. Churchill made many unpopular decisions, but thank God he was right.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Another great Churchill quote.

I thought it was the gospel of bondage.

I’ve read a couple of books about Churchill. Time to read another. :)

Hey, look here what that sneaky bass-turd Mitt Romney is doing! By promising to bring back Winnie's bust he's trying to make us all **think** he's going to try and restore the good relationship we had with our best ally. But we know what he's doing, don't we? He's going to melt it down and sell it for scrap! Grrrrr! So did ya hear what that hot-rod swimmer said, that if he won gold again he was going to have it bronzed? He musta been drunk. Like Romney! Hey, you're a great crowd! Where you going?

All gifts to the White House are not for personal use, a special request is needed to take out items that are given personally to presidents leaving....I don’t know how he got away with sending back an item that belong to the White house and not him....
