Obama cannot identify the enemy - the republican party. He needs to realize that no matter how much he wants to be buddy-buddy with these guys, they're already busy thinking of ways to make him look like an idiot in 2012. Not only that, he might need to consider that it's actually to the republicans advantage, politically speaking, if the economy stays in the tubes or gets worse over the next four years (it's better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785387207570374478.post-42411829811586105932009-02-17T13:18:00.000-05:002009-02-17T13:18:00.000-05:00I found this article from the BBC back in 2002 com...I found this article from the BBC back in 2002 comparing Bush to Churchill because honestly I did know this statue even existed until this post by J.N.. And, I am guessing this article was published shortly after Bush received this strange bronze work. <BR/><BR/>To give you the general tone of the piece (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/2223188.stm) here is an excerpt; a quote from the grandson of Winston Churchill, Nicholas Soames:<BR/><BR/>"I think Churchill, if he was alive now, would be anxious about the Americans' apparent constant grandstanding without giving the reasons."<BR/><BR/>And maybe I am about to state the obvious, but I feel that the returning of this very freaky looking bust represents more than just the removal of an ugly statue. And, this has nothing to with dishonoring or insulting Britain. President Obama is making a statement that he does not compare himself to Winston Churchill and that the Iraq war is certainly not our WWII.nimsofahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175804716702378601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785387207570374478.post-47965781167250240542009-02-17T11:43:00.000-05:002009-02-17T11:43:00.000-05:00Nothing inspires great work in the Oval Office tha...Nothing inspires great work in the Oval Office than an amazingly creepy sculpture.<BR/><BR/>There are enough ghosts and other creepy things in the white house, no need to add a bust with an intensely scary blank scare to the mix.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082265494052859780noreply@blogger.com
