That was one Obama's first diplomatic gestures to the Great Britain upon entering office. Attempting to give back the valuable and meaningful bust of Winston Churchill given to the Bush White House. Obama said, he wanted to put his bust of Abe Lincoln in its place. Like the two couldn't occupy the same room?
That should have first signaled how inept Obama was to hold office, handle foreign affairs and his mindset for the next four years.
Who gives a fuck? Does the queen keep a bust of George Washington on display at her palace? They still think of him as a traitor.
Well, she does keep a porcelain box given to her by George W Bush on her desk.
Was the box a loan? If not, that's not really relevant. Aren't we talking about the return of a LOANED object from a PM to a President no longer in office?
