If Obama took the statue back because he realized he slighted the Brits it kind feel the "lie" isnt all that much of a lie.


I just find this whole thing curious because like everyone else i was under the impression that Obama slighted the Brits by giving the bust back. So did he? Did the bust leave the whitehouse? Why did it come back? Will Kelly go to the dance with Zack?

Couldn't resist

The Brits love Obama. I hate to put it in those terms because he's a head of state not a celebrity, but it's true. I think that accurately captures the sentiment abroad towards the president. I have a few friends that live across the pond and they'd tell you themselves. David Cameron and Obama were at the NCAA tourney eating dogs and yucking it up. They appear to have a close relationship.

Here's a good article. "Cameron worships Obama"

So if there's anyone who's offended or feels slighted, I can assure you it's Obama's opponents in Congress.
