The White House incorrectly claimed that a bust of Winston Churchill was not removed from the White House when President Obama moved in, insisting with emphatic certainty that it had simply been moved to the residence but then retracting the assertion.
In a “Fact Check” post added to the White House website Friday, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer scornfully dismissed as “100% false” the “rumor” that Obama had removed the Churchill bust that had presided over the George W. Bush Oval Office and shipped it back to the British.
Turns out Pfeiffer’s was the false statement.
Picture
[snip] Pfeiffer then provided a White House photo of Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron admiring the Churchill bust in the White House residence.
[snip] “Hopefully this clears things up a bit and prevents folks from making this ridiculous claim again,” Pfeiffer sneered.
Well.
In what he labeled an “Update” but which is actually a “Correction,” Pfeiffer later added that there are in fact two busts, and the one that was in the Oval Office was indeed removed when Obama took office.

OMG. Obama and staff are liars.
Who knew ?
bttt
Before you try the tub/radio test would you please send in your absentee ballot? Thanks. ;-)
Not to worry! If in fact this admin said water was wet and conducted electricity, I assure you of my safety. Since they are wholly unable to tell the truth, it will be more likely that the laws of physics were somehow altered without our awareness.
I mean seriously now...What has greater odds of happening? Me getting electrocuted (and I assure you many here would like that ;) or the administration telling the truth?
If one goes with the statistics, I should be perfectly safe! ;)
Winston is grateful to be at the English ambassador’s house. Had he stayed in the Oval Office, he would have had to witness the -resident with his small mind and enormous ego screwing up America every day,
“The White House incorrectly claimed......”
Lies, lies and more damn lies.

Why should they care?
They’ve spent the better part of 4 years lying through your teeth without being held accountable by the gatekeepers in the MSM. Chances are this Churchill bust thing won’t register to the general public either.
There’s no downside.
Gravity is still working - just send in your quarterly and don’t forget to add me to your will. ;-)
I got my first “jolt” in a long time recently working on a Hunter fan/light remote switch recently. Breaker, test breaker, test, test, oops!
Just the usual “buzz” - household voltage (125V) - absent standing in water I don’t know how people actually get electrocuted. And no the breaker didn’t pop. Sigh. *;-)
Well I was for the bust before I was against it !!!
This bunch a baffons is nowhere slick as Slick.
Is that it? it is, is it?

Actually, it is that. It is not what it isn’t therefore it has to be what it is. Now it is clear to both of us, isn’t it? It is!!
I think it IS past my bedtime.
G’night
My last zap was 10 years ago. A high-po automotive ignition (MSD-6 Digital). Which puts out a metric ton of voltage. I am not sure what happened and I really try to forget about it. But I promise you that it sucks in very artful ways. And it hurt. A lot.
Some of us don’t appreciate being called liars by liars. Personally, I’m funny that way. And more than a few of us are capable of arguing more than one point at a time, so I don’t see it as a “distraction.”
125V/60Hz across the chest will cause fibrillation, and you die. Not all shocks are across the chest, thankfully yours must not have been.
Obama is a crook and a liar.
I’ve been zotted any number of times and in terms of pathway it goes from my hand to my feet or my knees. Zotting definitely gets your attention but then I just go on with whatever.
jolts have Those not affected in me way any. ;-)
My father was in Electrical Contracting, and I worked with him long enough to get a few pokes of 277 VAC. I decided then and there I *really hate* shocks and would not be following in his footsteps. Ironically, I ultimately landed in a R & D department of a semiconductor company working with >1,000 VDC.
