Winston Churchill returns to Oval Office as Kenyan master departs

[Wash Times] Winston Churchill is back in the Oval Office.

On his first day in office, President Trump brought back a bust of the legendary British prime minister to the West Wing, after President Obama had removed it. Mr. Obama replaced it with a bust of Martin Luther King Jr.

Reporters who were summoned to the Oval Office Friday night to witness Mr. Trump signing an executive order noticed the Churchill bust had been returned to the Oval Office.

British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson had speculated that Mr. Obama removed Churchill’s bust in part because he is "part-Kenyan," and was motivated by anti-colonial feelings. Mr. Obama refuted that, saying he had moved the bust to a place of prominence in his private office in the White House residence.

"I love Winston Churchill, I love the guy," Mr. Obama said.

Mr. Trump did more redecorating, replacing Mr. Obama’s crimson drapes in the Oval Office with gold ones.

#1 Why Churchill was removed from the Oval Office in the first place. Could this be the reason ?

On Islam, Churchill wrote (The River War, page 249), “is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog.”

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedanism law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property–either as a child, a wife, or a concubine — must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

#2 I thought I saw that bust in the background in one of the videos. Didn't waste any time.

And didn't make a big high-horse showy thing out of it. Just. Did. It.

#4 And didn't make a big high-horse showy thing out of it. Just. Did. It.

I certainly hope this is a guiding principle for POTUS et al.

#5 ...to a place of prominence in his private office in the White House residence.

It's called the broom closet. No longer - welcome back, Mr. Churchill!

#6 And the media stepped in it again, reporting that the MLK bust was gone from the oval office (because rayciss, ya know) when in fact no such thing occurred. Way to go, morons...
