The one displayed by Mr Bush was indeed returned, along with all other art lent to him, as his presidency came to an end. The other, which remains in the White House residence, was given as a gift to President Lyndon B Johnson in 1965 by a group of Atlanticist diplomats and military officers.
This to me reads that Bush returned it, and Obama kept one and at least displayed it in 2010???
"I'm looking forward to the bust of Winston Churchill being in the Oval Office again," the Republican challenger confirmed at a fund-raiser at London's Mandarin Oriental hotel.
I thought taking foreign money was a taboo? I know we carped about Obama doing that...
I'm confused. Which bust did the current administration supposedly return?
You have to ask yourself... why would they go out of their way to lie about something as minor as this?
Imagine what they really hope you won’t find out.
Was anyone really expecting the traitor or his traitorous WH gang of thugs to tell the truth?!?
Outside the treaty room?
Obama has a treaty room? With an imaginary bust outside? Figures.
That’s a real insult to return a gift from another country. They could have put it in the State Department or the Pentagon.
Strange how the American press missed this story... Almost like they were trying to miss it... is that possible?
Maybe the Washington Post is suited up and ready to run with it?
Somebody needs to tell SNOPES.com

In an update to his statement, a defiant Mr Pfeiffer stressed that the notion Mr Obama had returned a bust "because of antipathy towards the British" was "an urban legend".
If the first "urban legend" that the bust hadn't been returned was actually the truth then this "urban legend" is...looking to be true too.
Aides to Mr Obama were furious...
It's simple...don't lie so damn often and you won't get caught up in them.
Lie went out midweek, retraction on the weekend. Shuffling DUmasses never heard otherwise.
Carney will just say ‘obama didn’t say what he said.’ The media? They will go into W*O*R*M mode. (What Obama Really Meant)
Nothing new here. I remember when Obama removed that bust of Churchill. It was reported even by the MSM and was in the first few weeks of Obama’s presidency. I knew right then and there he was a classless buffoon and we’d be embarrassed by him over sand over again. My prediction has come true, I regret to say, and despite the vehement efforts of the criminals, liars and con men who inhabit the White House these days to sweep all Obama’s warts under the rug… there’s not a rug big enough to hide all this poser’s inadequacies.
Unbelievable!...Just pay attention to what we say, not what we do. I remember when Obama sent the bust of Churchill back! What f’ing liars!
Friggin’ liars
Bump
The LYING White House staff was covering for the Kenyan, because the Kenyan saw Winston Churchill as the figurehead of Colonialism.
Of course they had to “admit” such, they got caught in another LIE! =.=
