~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mediaite (a left-leaning media website) concedes:
The British Embassy has confirmed thatWashington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer was correct when he wrote that a bust of Winston Churchill was removed from the White House when Barack Obama took office.

Are memories so short that this was even in question? If so then hopefully those people will forget the way to the polls.

HAHAHAHAHAHA–busted!
They obviously believe that the American people have no minds at all. The shoe is definitely on the other foot.

Romney should suggest he’d put a bust of Joseph McCarthy in the White House!
Churchill was right about the Nazi threat.
We see now that McCarthy was right about Communist infiltration of the US government!

An update from Pfeiffer:
“….Since my post on the fact that the bust of Winston Churchill has remained on display in the White House, despite assertions to the contrary, I have received a bunch of questions — so let me provide some additional info. The White House has had a bust of Winston Churchill since the 1960’s. At the start of the Bush administration Prime Minister Blair lent President Bush a bust that matched the one in the White House, which was being worked on at the time and was later returned to the residence. The version lent by Prime Minister Blair was displayed by President Bush until the end of his Presidency. On January 20, 2009 — Inauguration Day — all of the art lent specifically for President Bush’s Oval Office was removed by the curator’s office, as is common practice at the end of every presidency. The original Churchill bust remained on display in the residence. The idea put forward by Charles Krauthammer and others that President Obama returned the Churchill bust or refused to display the bust because of antipathy towards the British is completely false and an urban legend that continues to circulate to this day….”
And from Mediaite:
“…However, the British Embassy has confirmed that it did receive the original bust in 2009 and it currently resides in the U.K. Ambassador’s residence. The White House is in possession of another copy of the Churchill bust which is currently located in the White House residency.
That’s right, there are two….”
It seems that everybody has an agenda, and it’s getting harder and harder to discern the truth. Is this much ado about nothing? I don’t know.

I might have given some credence to Pfeiffer’s most recent update, IF that information had been released at the time the bust was returned–in 2009.
Too little, too late.

There’s not a democRat alive that can match wits or intelligence with Charles Krauthammer.
We all know why Oblowme had it removed.

I suggest we send the Bamster Kenyan back to Africa, return Churchill’s bust back to its pre-Obamao’s location, and put busts of Marilyn Monroe, MaryJo Kopeckne, and MLK wherever & whenever the Black Caucus or the DNC meets.

There never was any question about it. ‘resident obama also put up a picture in the Whitehouse that includes the word, “nigger” on it.
Tell me he doesn’t hate white people.

I love Kraut – he’s rarely wrong. The one prediction I hope he is wrong is that obumfuck will be reelected.

@Team Ameria, he didn’t say that.
That misconception is owed to the idiot, Bill O’Reilly, who played his quote IN PART.
Dr. K. schooled him in a subsequent appearance on his program.
