House Speaker John Boehner plans to give Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a bust of Winston Churchill when he speaks to a joint meeting of Congress about the danger of a nuclear-armed Iran.
The gift was chosen because Netanyahu and the former prime minister of Britain are the only foreign leaders who have addressed Congress three separate times.

Boehner also has invited former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.But that's also a thumb in the eye of Barack Hussein Obama, who clearly does not admire Churchill:
President Obama has described himself as a 'citizen of the world.' In doing so, he is characterizing himself as what we would call a multi-culturalist. But he's not just someone who is tolerant of other cultures - he's a dogmatic multi-culturalist and his 'tolerance' extends to different forms of government. In Obama's world, all forms of government and all governments are equal. None is any better than the others.Maybe this has something to do with Obama's disdain for Churchill.
Winston Churchill (Obama's anti-hero in more ways than one) is known to have quipped that liberal democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others. Obama disagrees with that statement. He would argue that democracy is a form of government that is no better nor worse than the others. Once one accepts that statement, there is no advantage to be gained by promoting democracy. Each form of government is to be treated as equally meitorious and is to be dealt with on its own terms.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Flashback 2013: Churchill bust welcomed back to US Capitol after Obama 'snub'
Flashback 2012: White House admits it did return Winston Churchill bust to Britain
That is classic.
Once in a blue moon the Bonehead knows how to play the game and tweaks the left, but this is a largely symbolic gesture.
Great Idea where does one find one Ebay, Amazon, HSC?,
Wow, so Boehner is giving back the actual bust that zero sent back to Britain?
Boner gets a 5 minute reprieve for this. Make it 10.
Can Obama be given a smaller suppository version with the cigar still lighted?
Im certain this will please Barack- I have a jewish Soul-Goldman..Obama
and his Jewish Half Brother

“... Netanyahu and the former prime minister of Britain are the only foreign leaders who have addressed Congress three separate times”
THAT’s 3 TIMES BIBI WILL HAVE ADDRESSED CONGRESS!!!
Sniveling Libtards.
Many parallels between Bibi and Churchill.
When Churchill was in the wilderness warning the world about Hitler, many even in his own party shunned him. I would dare say if there was a popularity contest in 1935 between Hitler and Churchill, in Britain, Hitler would have won hands down.
You got that right, Mr Speaker !
It’ll be interesting to see the masks come off the Partisan Media Shills as they spin, or rather, spin out and go nuts.
Touche!! This is rich. Even tho I want Boehner gone asap, I have to say this was a good move, if he doesn’t chicken out that is. It’s like saying “Here, Bibi. Take this Box of Courage” with you, because our American President has no plans to use it. (Nor do I!) said John.
The first duty of the next president should be an executive order repealing all of Obama’s executive orders. Then passing a law to make executive orders more difficult and only for use when national security is involved.
Good idea, except it should be an exploding cigar.
If this is true, I just LOVE it!
A thumb in the eye, indeed! (who’d have thought Boehner had it in him?)
