I found this link after hearing one of my customers talk about the news story, before I get too far into this let me make it clear as a PROUD American, I support and have defended the U.S. Constitution, however I am not a huge fan of the current office of the President of the United States. Anyway onward with the linkage:
So it turns out that our President Barack H. Obama sent back a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to England which was a gift for the oval office from former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair. The bust has since been replaced with a bust of President Abraham Lincoln, a worthy replacement — no question. However I can only speculate as to why Obama REALLY sent the bust back? I think that it’s because he’s still butt hurt that Churchill ordered action against the Mau Mau Resistance in Kenya in the 50′s one of Obama’s relatives was a member and was in detention for several months due to his involvement. Criminals getting detained for crimes, novel idea eh Barack?
I also feel that he was intimidated by the bust. He knows in his heart that he can never be as an influential as Winston Churchill and that each time he made a decision with bust of the cigar smoking, booze loving British diplomat that he would have to ask himself, how would Winston Churchill handle this? He was afraid that he would never be able to make decisions similar to those of the great British diplomat and that people could potentially criticize him for that seeing as he had a bust of the man in his office where all the decisions are made. Once again, this is all speculation on my part, but I have a feeling our President is not the fun loving, happy go lucky guy he “plays on TV” rather he is an angry, pompous and grudge holding man and this is why the bust is no longer part of the oval office.
My apologies to the Commander-In-Chief, being around a statue of such an influential man, must be tough for someone with such a lack off caliber as yourself.
Here, here!!! What an insult to a country who has stood beside us many times. It is also a huge disrespect to one of the great diplomats of all time.
