Clearly, the White House Communications Director is an unrepentant partisan liar, as I would expect. But it bothers me that I have read many times in the conservative media about the Churchill bust being returned by Obama without hearing that there were actually two busts, and that one remained in the White House.

If I recall correctly there was speculation that the bust's return was spurred by Obama's father's specific dislike of Churchill, not "antipathy towards the British."

What really happened? Krauthammer is right to point out the lies by the White House, but he ignored the important question: Why was the bust returned? Did the British ask for it back, was the loan intended to be just for the duration of the Bush Administration, or did Obama direct his staff to return the bust?

It was based on the story that Zero’s grandfather was tortured by the British.

Turns out this is another LIE contained in the fictional biography (not autobiography as it was ghost written) DREAMS FROM MY POSSIBLE FATHER.

The bust was returned was symbolic of Obama’s anti-colonial attitude.

Remember that the MSM has to get any story about the White House approved (and presumably rewritten by) the White House press office. NY TIMES surprisingly revealed that fact last week.
