The money quote:

Churchill has less happy connotations for Mr Obama than those American politicians who celebrate his wartime leadership. It was during Churchill's second premiership that Britain suppressed Kenya's Mau Mau rebellion. Among Kenyans allegedly tortured by the colonial regime included one Hussein Onyango Obama, the President's grandfather.

FWIW, the Mau Mau rebellion was not a pretty thing, and Obama's grandfather was a Communist terrorist. Odinga takes after him, incidentally. Of course, you can no longer raise those sorts of issues in today's England.

It’d be nice to send this bust of a “leader” back to
Chicago...

Wow...Nothing like insulting the Brits!!

I'm inclined to think that when they start decorating, as is the custom, we'll have a "Black Museum"...for a Whitehouse.

He is not stupid, he is evil.

I pray America survives this mistake.

I have a small dilema....do I continue to fly Old Glory on the shore of Lake Erie? Do I fly her at half mast? I don’t want to show any support for this “president”, but I still love “America the good”.

No Obama could not stand the glare of the Worlds foremost anti-fascist historian.

Wonder why?

Churchill warned the world about resurgeant fascism, which we now have in the World Wide Caliphate Movement, f which Obama is a part.

Perhaps the Brits in Washington will begin to understand just what Obama represents.

Jonah Goldberg outlined it quite well:

It’s worse than being empty by a long shot! That would be an improvement. Come to think of it, Chairman Mao might be considered an improvement!

Half-mast. I would say upside-down but that was stolen by the left in the last 8 years.

Incredible. A bust of Britain’s greatest modern figure by Britain’s greatest 20th C. sculptor.

But heck, it’s not a bust of Stevie Wonder, so who cares?

One of the items on my list of ‘things to do before I die”, is to urinate on the grave of Karl Marx. I was in London twice this past summer and never did get an opportunity - not going to make that mistake again.

Yes he was.

“Workers of All Lands Unite!”

I’m sure the workers in the U.S.S.R., China, and Vietnam could tell Carl a thing or two about his idealistic vision.

So could we.
