The bust is the property of Her Majesty’s Government and had been on loan to the U.S. for sixty years, when our first Mau-Mau president returned it. HMG may not be inclined to return it.

I have been misled. Somewhere I was told there were two statues and that we only had a facsimile of the real thing.
...ever heard that one? ( it sounds like something Snopes would come up with )

The bust is the property of Her Majestys Government and had been on loan to the U.S. for sixty years, when our first Mau-Mau president returned it. HMG may not be inclined to return it. The real story is that there has been a Churchill bust in the White House since at least the 60's. That bust was being restored when W took office. Tony Blair loaned W a second Churchill bust after he took office. On January 20, 2009, the curators who remove the outgoing president's possessions and loaned items removed the loaned bust and returned it to the British government. The original bust, once restored, was placed back in the White House, where is resides today. A lot of bad things attributed to Obama are true, but this isn't one of them.

When I read this my mouth just smiled and smiled and my heart, a happy dance. I was ashamed of Obama when he sent it back. What an upstart.
