An update from Pfeiffer:
??.Since my post on the fact that the bust of Winston Churchill has remained on display in the White House, despite assertions to the contrary, I have received a bunch of questions ? so let me provide some additional info. The White House has had a bust of Winston Churchill since the 1960?s. At the start of the Bush administration Prime Minister Blair lent President Bush a bust that matched the one in the White House, which was being worked on at the time and was later returned to the residence. The version lent by Prime Minister Blair was displayed by President Bush until the end of his Presidency. On January 20, 2009 ? Inauguration Day ? all of the art lent specifically for President Bush?s Oval Office was removed by the curator?s office, as is common practice at the end of every presidency. The original Churchill bust remained on display in the residence. The idea put forward by Charles Krauthammer and others that President Obama returned the Churchill bust or refused to display the bust because of antipathy towards the British is completely false and an urban legend that continues to circulate to this day?.?
And from Mediaite:
??However, the British Embassy has confirmed that it did receive the original bust in 2009 and it currently resides in the U.K. Ambassador?s residence. The White House is in possession of another copy of the Churchill bust which is currently located in the White House residency.
That?s right, there are two?.?
It seems that everybody has an agenda, and it?s getting harder and harder to discern the truth. Is this much ado about nothing? I don?t know.
