He never explained why he sent it back on day 1, and people have been trying to figure out why and look to a whole host of other statements and actions by him to figure it out.  Given his past statements and actions, people have come to that conclusion since he won't answer himself.   

no one cares about this so why do you care?

Obama has a higher approval rating in the UK then he does here so clearly the people in the UK don't give a shit either

btw - the bust was a loan to GWB and scheduled to be returned

here's an idea for you, why don't you let Obama worry about how to decorate his office and you can worry about how to decorate the shithole that you live in

Well come the fuck on bro... you cant just say "this is the situation" and then say "well no ones gonna admit it.. but trust me.. it is"
That just doesnt fucking fly... like seriously.. do you understand what "accusations" and "proof" mean in the grand scheme of things...
You cant just make shit up and say "its true if you cant prove otherwise" I mean, god damn. You make a statement and say this is the proof.. and we can look at the proof and determine if its viable or not... this shit fucking infuriates me that a grown man fake lawyer cant understand that.

Fixed.

As usual, this 333386 person - who spends 18 hours a day on this site (what a thrilling social life he must have!) - has his facts wrong.  ::)
After spending most of his time embarrassing himself in London, the "American Borat" tries to redeem himself with this claptrap.  ::)


Conservatives outraged over Abraham Lincoln bust in the Oval Office

Mitt Romney, parroting another right-wing conspiracy theory:

    Mitt Romney, speaking to a group of more than 200 supporters in hotel in the heart of London this evening, said he is “looking forward” to returning the bust of Winston Churchill to the White House after it was sent back to Great Britain by President Obama.

Wait, this bust?

That's Obama showing off the Churchill bust to British Prime Minister David Cameron ... INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE.

So yeah, the bust was never "returned" to the UK. In fact, it was moved to the residence. In its place in the Oval Office, Obama placed a bust of Pres. Abraham Lincoln. Pretty sensible, right?

Which goes to show, only in America does the self-styled "patriotic American" party get insanely outraged when a bust of a foreign leader gets replaced with that of an American president. And a Republican president, at that.

Barack Obama sends bust of Winston Churchill on its way back to Britain

Barack Obama has sent Sir Winston Churchill packing and pulse rates soaring among anxious British diplomats.



Mr Obama declined an offer to hang on onto the bust for a further four years Photo: REUTERS

By Tim Shipman in Washington

5:20PM GMT 14 Feb 2009

 



A bust of the former prime minister once voted the greatest Briton in history, which was loaned to George W Bush from the Government's art collection after the September 11 attacks, has now been formally handed back.
 

The bronze by Sir Jacob Epstein, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds if it were ever sold on the open market, enjoyed pride of place in the Oval Office during President Bush's tenure.
 

But when British officials offered to let Mr Obama to hang onto the bust for a further four years, the White House said: "Thanks, but no thanks."
 

Diplomats were at first reluctant to discuss the whereabouts of the Churchill bronze, after its ejection from the seat of American power. But the British Embassy in Washington has now confirmed that it sits in the palatial residence of ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald, just down the road from Vice President Joe Biden's official residence. It is not clear whether the ambassador plans to keep it in Washington or send it back to London.
 

American politicians have made quoting Churchill, whose mother was American, something of an art form, but not Mr Obama, who prefers to cite the words and works of his hero Abraham Lincoln. Indeed a bust of Mr Lincoln now sits in the Oval Office where Epstein's Churchill once ruled the roost.

 
Churchill has less happy connotations for Mr Obama than those American politicians who celebrate his wartime leadership. It was during Churchill's second premiership that Britain suppressed Kenya's Mau Mau rebellion. Among Kenyans allegedly tortured by the colonial regime included one Hussein Onyango Obama, the President's grandfather.
 
The rejection of the bust has left some British officials nervously reading the runes to see how much influence the UK can wield with the new regime in Washington.
 
Now it is likely that Gordon Brown will offer a alternative symbol of Anglo-American fealty when he visits Washington to meet Mr Obama for the first time since he became President. Diplomats are still working to finalise a date for the visit which is expected in the final week of this month or early in March.
 
One suggestion, given Mr Obama's interest in the Lincoln era, is that Mr Brown should offer an artefact relating to the career of John Bright, the 19th Century MP and political reformer who became the most prominent British supporter of Lincoln's Union forces during the American Civil War.
 
A British Embassy spokesman said: "The bust of Sir Winston Churchill by Sir Jacob Epstein was uniquely lent to a foreign head of state, President George W Bush, from the Government Art Collection in the wake of 9/11 as a signal of the strong transatlantic relationship.
 
"It was lent for the first term of office of President Bush. When the President was elected for his second and final term, the loan was extended until January 2009.
 
"The new President has decided not to continue this loan and the bust has now been returned. It is on display at the Ambassador's Residence."

why not

It was a loan to Bush and Bush was gone

every new POTUS's change things in the Oval Office when they move in

he replaced it with a bust of Lincoln

what American would have a problem with that

This was almost 4 years ago and has ZERO impact on anyone

other than a few right wing nutbags who hate everything Obama does - know one else cares, most especially the Brits (again, except for a handful of their right wing nuts)
