Boris Johnson, London's Mayor Attacks Obama As 'Part Kenyan'
Before President Obama began his British presser with Prime Minister Cameron, he wrote an op-ed that made the case for Britain to stay in the EU and that has London's Mayor hoping mad.
So mad in fact, that he promoted the story that President Obama removed Churchill's bust from the White House before launching into full birther mode.
It was a bust of Winston Churchill – the great British war time leader. It was a fine goggle-eyed object, done by the brilliant sculptor Jacob Epstein, and it had sat there for almost ten years.
But on day one of the Obama administration it was returned, without ceremony, to the British embassy in Washington.
No one was sure whether the President had himself been involved in the decision.
Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan President’s ancestral dislike of the British empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.
Some said that perhaps Churchill was seen as less important than he once was. Perhaps his ideas were old-fashioned and out of date.
Well, if that’s why Churchill was banished from the Oval Office, they could not have been more wrong.
