Obama explains removal of Churchill bust from Oval Office |
2016-04-24 |
![]() But Obama stressed that he still keeps a bust of Churchill right outside his private office in the residence because he also respects the legendary wartime leader and orator. The removal of Churchill from the Oval Office has led to constant complaints from Republicans that he was disrespecting one of the U.S.'s closest allies. But in a Friday briefing in London with Prime Minister ![]() ... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite,which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideologicalhe lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger,but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ... , he said he imagines that the British people understand. |

#6 what Churchill might say about the Champ We could ask Netanyahu. He seems to be cut from similar cloth as Winston. Curious that this oh-so-clever explanation never came up when the Churchill bust was originally removed. |

#2 Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. Abraham Lincoln |
