LONDON — Passers-by at the American Embassy, in the heart of London’s upscale Mayfair district, were greeted Monday morning by the disembodied voice of Ronald Reagan drifting through the air from large speakers — a prelude to the unveiling of a $1 million bronze statue of the former president here to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth.

geesh, Obamas left out one more time. the world stage has no respect for them.
Returning the Churchill bust was the lowest-class thing ANY US President (I capitalize the office, not the current resident) has ever done.
Except, maybe, presenting a gift of a $150 iPod preloaded with the zero’s music and a handful of Region 1 DVDs.
Obama hasn’t one ounce of class.
If he didn’t want to look at Churchill he could have put it away until his term ended.
An arrogant,ignorant,rude a**.
>>Wonder how long before the first Brit jihadis chops the head off?<<
The outcome of that would be:
1) it just wouldn’t come off, no matter what 1st century tools the jihadis use; or
2) it would come off and smash and kill the jihadi
God bless Ronald Reagan.
FUBO!!!
I quoted that Reagan saying to my boss who is a flaming Democrat. His lips were drawn into a thin line when he heard me say that. He refused to change his ways, still a Democrat to this day. SAD!
It’s a sickness. They could have 0bama’s boot up their butts and they’d smile and be happy.
At least you tried!!!
Not that the Obamas have one iota of respect for anything Reagan stood for....
President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Modern era conservative heroes. We'll not soon see their like again.
:) beautiful feeling of safeness in the free world back then.
Typical NYT, trying to make it as creepy & unappealing as possible ... they had to say "disembodied voice" rather than simply "a recording". /rolleyes
yes i agree
The NYT hated Reagan and still does. Never bothered him though, he just made jokes at their expense.
Pray for America
What a great photo memento of two great leaders!
As much as I despise President Narcissus and have shredded him for returning the Churchill bust, I thought I read somewhere that it was on loan anyway... Can anyone confirm?
This is one source, but how good is it? Was it Obutthole’s option to “extend the loan or not?

He gave it to the British Embassy in Washington. It was not a gift, it was on LOAN from the British government until 2009.
A British Embassy spokesman said: “The bust of Sir Winston Churchill by Sir Jacob Epstein was uniquely lent to a foreign head of state, President George W Bush, from the Government Art Collection in the wake of 9/11 as a signal of the strong transatlantic relationship.
“It was lent for the first term of office of President Bush. When the President was elected for his second and final term, the loan was extended until January 2009.
“The new President has decided not to continue this loan and the bust has now been returned. It is on display at the Ambassador’s Residence.”
