As the London Telegraph reported, Barack Obama has just returned a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to the British government. The bust was loaned to the White House in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks as a demonstration of solidarity with the United States.
Obama’s surprise decision to send Churchill home is both wrong-headed and crassly insensitive towards America’s closest ally, coming at a time when nearly 9,000 British troops are fighting alongside their American counterparts in Afghanistan.
A "loan" typically indicates that the item in question will eventually be returned. Which is what Obama did. But clearly this is tantamount to Obama fucking Gordon Brown's wife and shooting 10 British soldiers.
