Romney to Return Churchill Bust to White House.

Who is the fucking dickhead who took the bust out of the White House in the first place? Jimmy fucking Carter? Who could be so fucking stupid? So fucking insensitive to foreign policy? So short-sighted?


LONDON – 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.
The GOP candidate, who suffered a brutal day of press after he suggested that he wasn’t sure the London Olympics would go off without a hitch, spoke highly of the British monuments — singling out the Churchill statue — that he said he got a firsthand look at while stuck in traffic — likely caused by the Olympic Games.
“You live here, you see the sites day in and day out, but for me as I drive past the sculpture of Winston Churchill and see that great sculpture next to Westminster Abbey and Parliament and with him larger than life, enormous heft of that sculpture suggesting the scale of the the grandeur and the greatness of the man, it tugs at the heart strings to remember the kind fo example that was led by Winston Churchill,” said Romney, speaking in a ballroom at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on the edge of Hyde Park.
“And I’m looking forward to the bust of Winston Churchill being in the Oval Office again,” Romney said, evoking applause from the group that helped the candidate raise more than $2 million for his campaign.
Romney’s remarks about the Churchill bust came the day after an article in a British newspaper blindly quoted advisors — who Romney said he did not know — who asserted that the candidate really wants the statue back in Washington D.C.
President Obama returned the bust in 2009, drawing ire from the British press who said that the move had made some leaders “nervous” about what the gesture meant for U.S.-U.K. relations. The bust had a home in the Oval Office during President George W. Bush’s administration.
The desire to have Churchill’s bust returned to the White House was a sentiment expressed by one of two Romney advisors who spoke anonymously to the British newspaper the Telegraph. The story has since ignited a firestorm of criticism of the candidate, who had vowed that his campaign would not speak ill of the Obama administration while on foreign soil.
Romney, who has distanced himself from the unnamed advisors who also suggested in the story that the White House doesn’t appreciate the “Anglo-Saxon” relationship between the U.K and the United States, saying he does not know who these advisers are, appeared to echo their assertion that he’d like the Churchill statue to return Washington.
The advisers told the Telegraph that Romney would “seek to reinstate the Churchill bust” and one told the paper that Romney “viewed the move as ‘symbolically important.’”

Way to make up for 2 days of blunders against our best ally Mittens, fucking idiot.

Sounds like Romney is bowing to the British. OHHHH NOOOOOO

Lol what the fuck is a bust? It was weird for Obama to ship it back, and it's weird that Romney has to try to preted he really gives a shit this much. And do you really care Ricky? Or are you trying to help support the backpedal attempt by Romney? He doesn't have a friendly swag to foreign countrys, Clinton has that covered for us when we're in a pinch, thank god. Clinton's like sending the Wolf.

Romney just doensn't have appeal, or a platform. "I'm not Obama though"

I'm comparing something REAL to utter bullshit.

If you don't have respect for Churchill, you don't belong leading this country, or any Allied country during WWII.

Obama is not so young and innocent that he doesnt' have to know what WWII was.

Oh yeah, Obama is a colonial Kenyan.

Anyone who has an understanding of WWII and Hitler should give a shit about Churchill.

That excludes many here who somehow believe history began in the 1980's.

Fucking Churchill........how do you send back a statue of England's greatest statesman?

I'm talking about the "Bust", Obama could have put it anywhere in the whole house, even the basement, sending it back was a strange move. But for Romney to dig it out to rebuttal his olympic comments is a joke. "I looked at his statue with pride" or whatever, just shutup and eat the words you said dick. We're at war in Afghanistan blowing billions of dollars, and he's talking about maneuvering ships around Iran and this "bust" that belongs in the US. He sucks as much as Obama.

Bullshit....If I was Romney I would do the same thing.

This has nothing to do with the Olympics comment.

ANY GOP CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE SAID THE SAME THING.

WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK HE IS GOING TO ENGLAND, ISRAEL AND POLAND?

BECAUSE THESE ARE 3 OF THE COUNTRIES THAT THE KENYAN HAS SHITTED ON.

Now it's a statue?

Rush has really riled Ricky up on this one. He sure knows his audience. Fake rage, you've got to love it.

Like I said, you believe history began in 1980.

We've been in Afghanistan for over a decade. So you want us to hold our breath until we pass out?

first, I havent even heard Rush discuss the England remarks or Romney's plans to return the bust.

Secondly, I was all over this story when the Kenyan sent it back to England. It had Jimmy Fucking Whitetrash Carter all over it. It was a purely hateful move.

Very, very hateful in a very personal way to the English.

Romney wants to stay in Afghanistan, and many more middle east countrys, bad foreign policy and bad people skills and no new ideas is why I won't vote for him. I wanted to vote Republican too. Well I was born in the 80's, but your point is taken. I usually do agree with your posts.

I wonder, was it a gift or on loan? Bush had it during his presidency (kind of ironic as he had an 8% approval rating there when he left). Maybe Obama just returned the loan? I can see wanting to change up things after Bush left.

don't start that loan/gift bullshit........The democrats are trying to justify it because they knew it was a fucking JIMMY FUCKING WHITETRASH CARTER MOVE.

Obama wanted the bust out of the White House before he moved his Kenyan ass into the White House.

deal with it....

Save your explanations.

I can smell a Jimmy Carter move from a mile away.

It reeked of Carterism....

wow, the talking heads have got this guy all riled up today, since when do conservatives give a shit about Churchill? Oh that's right, as soon as Romney turned it into a political ploy, that's the only reason this thread was created. Weak and pathetic.

Ricky,

1. The bust was loaned to Bush by Tony Blair following 911. It was not a gift to President Bush or to the American people. It was loaned to Bush and it was Bush's responsibility to return it when he left office. Obama returned it to the British Embassy in WASHINGTON DC.

2. Churchill put his Obama's grandfather in prison during the Kenyan struggle for independence. So I guess Obama didn't want look at the bust of someone who authorized the torture of grandpa. Can you blame him?

3. " White House spokesperson says the Churchill bust was removed before Obama's inauguration as part of the usual changeover operations, adding that every president puts his own stamp on the Oval Office."

fuck you....

Obama went out of his fucking way to offend Britain.

Deal with it. He boxed up the fucking statue and moved it out before entering the White House. Somehow he just couldn't stand it to be in the White House.

The dems have spent a lot of time trying to justify it. I remember when it happened and everyone, including the dems knew it was done to be offensive.

just deal with it.

It was done to offend.

Eveyone else:

Who is correct, me or ricky?

simple. find an article CONTEMPO-fuckin-RANEOUS with the event.

The dems have spent 3.5 years recasting the story. Find an old article written 3.5 years ago.

Look, the fucking move was done to offend England.

Don't start with me. obama was angry about being a house slave to the English.

fuck off...........

man, you need to turn off Limbaugh ASAP, it's rotting your brain worse than any kind of drug ever could.

We're here for you man, we're here for you....

Bro, this ain't about Limbaugh. As I said, I haven't heard him comment on this yet regarding the remarks.

But the Churchill Bust was a Carter-like move. I posted this many times 3 years ago.

It hasn't changed.

So Obama put a bust of Lincoln in its place. If he removed Lincoln and put back Churchill, you'd have more fake outrage over that. Get over it.

And why would Obama want a statue of Churchill in his office? Churchill was Prime Minister when Kenya sought their independence. Obama's grandfather spent months in a detention camp during that period. And to this day the Brits living in Kenya have a disdain for the Kenyans.
