Pfieffer has provided an update:
"Since my post on the fact that the bust of Winston Churchill has remained on display in the White House, despite assertions to the contrary, I have received a bunch of questions -- so let me provide some additional info. The White House has had a bust of Winston Churchill since the 1960s. At the start of the Bush administration Prime Minister Blair lent President Bush a bust that matched the one in the White House, which was being worked on at the time and was later returned to the residence. The version lent by Prime Minister Blair was displayed by President Bush until the end of his Presidency. On January 20, 2009 -- Inauguration Day -- all of the art lent specifically for President Bushs Oval Office was removed by the curators office, as is common practice at the end of every presidency. The original Churchill bust remained on display in the residence. The idea put forward by Charles Krauthammer and others that President Obama returned the Churchill bust or refused to display the bust because of antipathy towards the British is completely false and an urban legend that continues to circulate to this day."

completely false and an urban legend Ah... The old "false but true" ploy again.

“Additional info”..
Tap dancing around to avoid pointing out that the “additional info” completely invalidates his earlier claims.

The internet is really handy in situations like this.
And with a little 'googling' one can turn up dozens of articles from 2009 which say Dan Pfieffer is a damn liar.

I’m just surprised it wasn’t replaced by a bust of
himself.

To admit that President Obama is not wrong 100% of the time, especially on issues of secondary importance, is not the same as agreeing with the destructive things he’s done in matters of vital effect.
To: RatSlayer
Dan. Nice try. Your defense, however, is like listening to a criminal vehemently deny he commited the crime on Wednesday. I absolutely did not do that crime on Wednesday. It was Thursday.

That bottom photo is truly a BUST on so many levels.
(I guess I could say the bust photo is really the BOTTOM on so many levels too...lol..)

It wouldn’t surprise me to find that a bust of Jomo Kenyatta resides in the Oval Office.
