Obama explains removal of Churchill bust from Oval Office
2016-04-24
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] President B.O. explained Friday that he removed a bust of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill from the Oval Office when he first became president to make room for a bust of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., because King means so much to Obama.

But Obama stressed that he still keeps a bust of Churchill right outside his private office in the residence because he also respects the legendary wartime leader and orator.

The removal of Churchill from the Oval Office has led to constant complaints from Republicans that he was disrespecting one of the U.S.'s closest allies. But in a Friday briefing in London with Prime Minister David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
, he said he imagines that the British people understand.
