White House admits it did return Winston Churchill bust to Britain

Barack Obama's White House has been forced to admit that it did return a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to British diplomats, after describing such claims as "100 per cent false".

By Jon Swaine, Washington

Aides to Mr Obama were furious after The Daily Telegraph disclosed last week that Mitt Romney planned to restore the Jacob Epstein sculpture to its home under George W Bush from 2001 to 2009.

"I'm looking forward to the bust of Winston Churchill being in the Oval Office again," the Republican challenger confirmed at a fund-raiser at London's Mandarin Oriental hotel.

Dan Pfeiffer, the President's communications director, said in a statement that widespread reports of the bust being returned to Britain's embassy in Washington as Mr Obama took office were untrue.

"This is 100 per cent false," Mr Pfeiffer said. "The bust is still in the White House. In the Residence. Outside the Treaty Room". Illustrating his statement with a photograph of Mr Obama inspecting it with David Cameron in 2010, he added: "Hopefully this clears things up a bit and prevents folks from making this ridiculous claim again".

British officials were surprised by Mr Pfeiffer's statement and photograph, however, because the bust now resides in the residence of Sir Peter Westmacott, Britain's ambassador to the US. Further inquiries led to the discovery that there are, in fact, two matching Churchill busts by Epstein.

The bust was broken by Miz Obama while cracking nuts for her husband thingy.

...I bet it was Hillary trying out her aim at Bubba with a heafty object like the bust of Churchill...

Hillary is believed to be able to hurl an ashtray at supersonic speeds.....

.....and for effect cooks it up red hot in the microwave prior to the fling.

"all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."

Wow! What an amazing insight - as relevant today as the time it was uttered.

No wounder why ObaMao wanted Churchill's bust removed from the Oval Office - Churchill's insight was burning a hole in ObaMao's "Mohammedan" head.

Do they really think proof of their incessant lying isn’t very easy to obtain?

No, but they know that the US press won't follow up on it. Case in point: this story, which is appearing in a British newspaper, but not in any mainstream US papers.

The head is too young looking, lacking his wrinkles and with much longer hair than Ob’s shaved head has.

Why would he do that......most Jews here love him and shower him with cash and media muscle

Jennie Jerome was not Jewish and never heard that one

In fact...quite a few Jews hated Winston for not bombing the camps

Though he had famous Brit Jewish and Christian aristocrat pals who kept him from going broke at times tween publishing

Obama hates hawkish Israelis....not Jews

He has the most Jews in his inner circle ive ever seen

[Vendome]

Equivocate much?

[Carry_Okie]

Why would he do that......most Jews here love him and shower him with cash and media muscle

And hate everything Churchill ever stood for.

Jennie Jerome was not Jewish and never heard that one

Look around on the Internet.

In fact...quite a few Jews hated Winston for not bombing the camps

Those would be the same kind of jews who would shoot at the Orthodox for importing weapons into Israel.

He has the most Jews in his inner circle ive ever seen

Those aren't Jews, they're JINO atheists.

Well, it's probably been said, but...

In an update to his statement, a defiant Mr Pfeiffer stressed that the notion Mr Obama had returned a bust "because of antipathy towards the British" was "an urban legend".
If the first "urban legend" that the bust hadn't been returned was actually the truth then this "urban legend" is...looking to be true too.

Aides to Mr Obama were furious...

It's simple...don't lie so damn often and you won't get caught up in them.

Thanks for the Ping.
Love the new tagline. . .

Lie went out midweek, retraction on the weekend. Shuffling DUmasses never heard otherwise.

my standard answer for all things Winston Churchill:

Ya know I was thinking....Winston Churchill's mother was a natural born American… …of course his father was a Brit. and Winny was born in....Hawaii...yeah that's the ticket Hawaii....now that means that the British Bulldog was really an American Pit Bull...and believe you me, he would have made a better POTUS than socialist FDR any friggin’ day...and so far ahead of Marxist zer0bama, to make the differences laughable.

Wow! What an amazing insight - as relevant today as the time it was uttered.

Without question.

I just wish we would still teach history.

Carney will just say ‘obama didn’t say what he said.’ The media? They will go into W*O*R*M mode. (What Obama Really Meant)

Nothing new here. I remember when Obama removed that bust of Churchill. It was reported even by the MSM and was in the first few weeks of Obama’s presidency. I knew right then and there he was a classless buffoon and we’d be embarrassed by him over sand over again. My prediction has come true, I regret to say, and despite the vehement efforts of the criminals, liars and con men who inhabit the White House these days to sweep all Obama’s warts under the rug… there’s not a rug big enough to hide all this poser’s inadequacies.

[DIXIEBELLE2012]

Obama lifts his scrawny leg and pisses all over everything – then he lies about it. Of course Obama lies and lies time and again. The funny thing about all this is that the British are all gushing over Obama even when they know he hates their guts. They are up in arms about Romney and take everything out of context to embarrass him because they are liberals first. Sort of like Sarah Silverman would be the first one to turn in Anne Frank.

>I bet Churchill is turning over in his grave seeing what muslims have done to Great Britain (and America).<

I think it is more a situation of what the British subjects have allowed their legislators to do with the assistance of the Muslim immigrants.

We have done the same thing here. We sit in front of the computer when we should be out raising Cain at Tea Party gatherings. It's so much easier to kick the can down the road and blame someone else for the sorry stae our country is in. There's a reason we avoid the mirror. We know the price to be paid and the bill collector is coming down the street to our house.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Unbelievable!...Just pay attention to what we say, not what we do. I remember when Obama sent the bust of Churchill back! What f’ing liars!
