[LaybackLenny]

I'll have another helping of AWESOME SAUCE please.

[Sans-Culotte]

Do the Brits even care about Winston these days?

[taildragger]

"YES YES YES and MORE YES!!!"

I'll have what he's having ;-).

Seriously, how many of us here on FR ( like myself ) have suggested this?

Pinch me, if Team Trump aren't lurking here, I am Richard Millhouse Nixon...

Oops! You can't have that bust! I've melted it down to help make a proper statue of me, your Emperor Obama I. Of course the people of Great Britain wholly approve of this, as a form of reparations that they own Kenyans.

Here are small, 3/4 size busts of me. They are available from the artist for $3,750 or, you can purchase them directly from me, for only $7,500, each! What a deal!

All net proceeds from sales will be directed to the BHO Foundation, where some of the proceeds shall be used to create a 3X life-size brass statue, which will reside in the Oval Office. If you act quickly, it should be in place for your worship, by January 19, 2017, on time for President Trump to worship his Emperor.

Here is the picture from which the statue will be made.

For all members of foreign royalty, you may address me as Your Excellency, Emperor and god-King, Obama I.

Good! I really like this news. :)

Do you think the Queen will return Obama’s gift he gave to England, his speeches on a set of CD’s? I doubt she still has them. They were probably used as coasters for parties at Buckingham Palace.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Woohoo! Freepers predicted this!

[Crucial]

NICE!!!!

Winston Churchill is among the greatest of Western Civilization while Barack Obama is not worthy of mention (please note that i am being polite).

Trump should accept the return of the bust and immediately send it out to be guided in gold.

Obama is but that which is composted into organic fertilizer IYKWIMAITTYD.

[Right Wing Assault]

I would love to see Trump walk of the plane carrying it. Later we see him walk into the Whitehouse and he puts it back where it was.

Fact Check: The Bust of Winston Churchill

JULY 27, 2012 AT 1:21 PM ET BY DAN PFEIFFER

Lately, there’s been a rumor swirling around about the current location of the bust of Winston Churchill. Some have claimed that President Obama removed the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office and sent it back to the British Embassy.

Now, normally we wouldn’t address a rumor that’s so patently false, but just this morning the Washington Post’s Charles Krauthammer repeated this ridiculous claim in his column. He said President Obama “started his Presidency by returning to the British Embassy the bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office.”

This is 100% false. The bust still in the White House. In the Residence. Outside the Treaty Room.

News outlets have debunked this claim time and again. First, back in 2010 the National Journal reported that “the Churchill bust was relocated to a prominent spot in the residence to make room for Abraham Lincoln, a figure from whom the first African-American occupant of the Oval Office might well draw inspiration in difficult times.” And just in case anyone forgot, just last year the AP reported that President Obama “replaced the Oval Office fixture with a bust of one of his American heroes, President Abraham Lincoln, and moved the Churchill bust to the White House residence.”

In case these news reports are not enough for Mr. Krauthammer and others, here’s a picture of the President showing off the Churchill bust to Prime Minister Cameron when he visited the White House residence in 2010.

Hopefully this clears things up a bit and prevents folks from making this ridiculous claim again.

Update:

Since my post on the fact that the bust of Winston Churchill has remained on display in the White House, despite assertions to the contrary, I have received a bunch of questions — so let me provide some additional info. The White House has had a bust of Winston Churchill since the 1960’s. At the start of the Bush administration Prime Minister Blair lent President Bush a bust that matched the one in the White House, which was being worked on at the time and was later returned to the residence. The version lent by Prime Minister Blair was displayed by President Bush until the end of his Presidency. On January 20, 2009 — Inauguration Day — all of the art lent specifically for President Bush’s Oval Office was removed by the curator’s office, as is common practice at the end of every presidency. The original Churchill bust remained on display in the residence. The idea put forward by Charles Krauthammer and others that President Obama returned the Churchill bust or refused to display the bust because of antipathy towards the British is completely false and an urban legend that continues to circulate to this day.

After Obie so shamefully (mis)represented our country in returning Sir Winston, among so many other slights, I assumed Pres Trump would be forced to ask the PM back with hat in hand. Couldn’t blame the Brits for being offended at the snub.

Thank you to our UK allies!
