And to think they let anyone take a picture of them like that! How hard is it to place the bust on a higher shelf so you can regard it without being upstaged by your own derriere?

It is rumored that one of his slaves retrieved it from a septic tank where Obama instructed it be placed, cleaned it up, and put it back on display.

More cheap shameless politics from the Obama administration.

They are liars. There was ample evidence at the time that it was sent back to England, because the Brits were upset about it.

I suppose it made Obama nervous having an adult in the room.

If it were a debunked myth it would be on Snopes or Fact Check for sure. It is not on either one.

Interesting that there is no ability to respond to the reporter to query about her error in facts; "Responding to Romney's claim that the bust has been removed from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave ".

She offers no quote that Romney said anything but returning the Churchill bust to the Oval Office, a place where even the White House spokesperson says it is not. Since Romney is not Charles Krauthammer, her specifics do not meet the facts. Thus this reportage is not worth this reporter's probity, which is good since she has none if she considers this story accurate.

It’s just a figure of speech.

Dems are well aware of that, right?

So, four years later they finally come up with ‘this is not true.’ Before which they said nothing.

Waiting to tell the Truth until the election? I doubt it. Suddenly realized that it made them look like marxists and would be used by the Repubs? Maybe.

UPDATE!

The British have reported that the Bust referred to in the article was indeed returned and that the bust displayed for Cameron's 2010 visit was a DIFFERENT bust that the White House has had since the 1960s.

"The picture of Obama bowing to Churchill could have been altered or they have a replica at the White House."

Pretty close. It has been revealed that a second, and completely different, Churchill bust was displayed for the Cameron visit. I suspect that they pulled it out of storage just for the occasion, then had it removed afterward.

This is such a lame spin. Obama thinks the Left still owns the entire media and that this would not be exposed.

It's surprising O'Bastard didn't take a liking to it, the ears sticking out and all.
