I’m still shocked this nation elected a muslim; especially 7 years after they knocked down to cherished building that were also landmarks in America.

Proves the power of propaganda or vote fraud, you pick.

If I had known your intent, I wouldn’t have asked for clarification. In any event, I think you are the one who is nitpicking. I believe Obama’s intent was quite clear. If you’re going to get technical about it, it is impossible to get anything back to any country, since a country is an inanimate thing. One would have to give it to an ambassador, the prime minister, or some other human being, isn’t that right?

Embassies are considered foreign territory, so the British embassy is Britian.

A great mystery to me why he has let them stay on. A great failure on his part that threatens his presidency.

“”If the reports weren’t deliberately meant to deceive the public, they would have reported the bust was sent to the British Embassy in DC. No one did that, did they?””

My intent? Clarification? What is confusing about the above statement? Why would it need clarification?

“”it is impossible to get anything back to any country, since a country is an inanimate thing. “”

What on earth? A country is an inanimate thing? What’s a bust if not inanimate? How did it get to the U. S., if it’s impossible?

Guess we can’t send any muslims BACK to the countries they came from because those countries are inanimate objects!

Guess we now know why the 2012 election in CA went to Hillary. Even the county we lived in that was conservative for all the years we lived there but were fortunate enough to escape and leave California’s problems to Californians. You must prefer the sanity coming out of Sacramento.

You’re running off the rails now.

“My intent? Clarification? What is confusing about the above statement? Why would it need clarification?”

I asked for clarification because I was puzzled why anyone would make make such a fuss over a distinction without a difference.

“A country is an inanimate thing?”

Well, yes it is. Or do you think a country has a brain and arms and legs?

“How did it get to the U. S., if it’s impossible?”

It got here because a PEOPLE from Great Britain gave it to a PERSON representing the United States. Specifically friends of Churchill who gave it to Lyndon Johnson.

As I indicated, no, you can’t give something to another country. Not in the sense of giving a gift, or giving one back.

“Guess we can’t send any muslims BACK to the countries they came from because those countries are inanimate objects!”

Well, no you can’t actually. Not legally anyway. The authorities (people) of the other country might send them right back! You can deport them though. That’s a legal process between two governments. Signed off by PEOPLE. Get the difference? You can send someone to prison, but you can’t just send something to a prison, can you? I mean yes, you can mail it or try to drop it off, but the prison itself is not capable of accepting anything.

By the way, if you want to nitpick the whole story why not point out actual inaccuracies? Like how there were too busts involved and how Obama may not have even made the decision?

TOO busts, huh? You really need to get a life. Stay away from FR for awhile and use your time to study - https://www.thoughtco.com/to-too-and-two-1692786

Were those actual inaccuracies part of the original thread?Why would I point out something that wasn’t there? Anyone with a brain knew the story about the two busts - one out for work and another one on loan. That’s been long known.

Now go relax....

“Why would I point out something that wasn’t there?”

I don’t know, maybe because what you posted didn’t amount to much, and it might have been better to add something of value to the discussion? Is there a law against it?

By the way I’m very relaxed. I just had dinner. Thank you for your concern.

Oh my gosh I totally missed that you were on spelling patrol!

While we’re at it, it’s “nitpicking” not “nit picking.”
