He probably wears Che t-shirts under his suits.

[Wrangler22]

He will probably replace it with a bust of Rev. Jerimiah Wright

[Wrangler22]

my appologies, I missed that thread and thoughtthis needed to be out there.

[Wrangler22]

President Obama will never be viewed in the same way as Churchill

OK - totally off topic - but why has the verb loan/loaned replaced the perfectly good English lend/lent?

"Loan" (lene in Middle English, læne in Old English) is the original.

"Lend" (Late Middle English lende) is the novelty.

I think that part of the problem is that when a word is misused often enough, that usage makes it into the dictionary.

For example, I learned that ‘fast’ is an adjective and not an adverb. One can drive a fast car, but one can only drive quickly or at a high rate of speed. Once cannot drive fast.

Wasn’t Middle English where the Tolkein stories took place? Or was that Middle Earth?

[Wrangler22]

He has his own agenda. He is not interested in knowing or understanding history, just in making his own mark at whatever cost.

[Wrangler22]

He hasn’t shown that he has any political or diplomatic savvy that’s for sure.

[Wrangler22]

He sees himself as a rebel like his gradfather Hussein

Perhaps you be interested in the vanity I published a short time ago titled, "1933?." It is an attempt to contrast Obama and Churchill and to summon the courage of an embattled Winston Churchill as he attempted to warn the world of the Holocaust to come.

Additionally, I was trying to make it politically correct or at least socially acceptable to criticize Barak Obama for his tyrannical tendencies.

Or Osama

Yep - he does have an agenda...and it’s gonna leave a mark....literally.

[Wrangler22]

The media will never turn on him, they have too much invested in him and his socialist agenda.

[txnativegop]

I wonder just how long he stands in front of the mirror every morning. His ego is enormous.

[Wrangler22]

Would that be Barack’s bust or . . . Obama’s bust?

[Wrangler22]

nicely played bigbob

[Wrangler22]

Point taken, but I am no art critic. It is like my mom always said “it’s the thought that counts”. Returning it was thoughtless.

[Wrangler22]

He should be revered by all of the countries that emerged from WWII free from the Nazis.

[jersey117]

Just as well. Zero isn’t worthy of having it in the same room with him. He probably replaced it with a bust of Karl Marx.
