Why would US citizens get their britches in a wad over a bust of Churchill?!?
Because we are free partly because Britain did not pull a France and immediately surrender to Hitler. Germany IMO overruns us, if Britain is lost to Germany in the early 40s. He'd have used Germany plus Britain's military might against the USA.

They did not give up mainly due to Churchill.
And?
I'm not anti-Churchill, but there are MANY leaders whose busts could sit in the Oval Office.
I think too much was read into the bust being removed.
Obama is not anti-Churchill. That's really a leap.

Because he was a noble man who called it like he saw it without fear. Back in '37 when Hitler was moving towards power Churchill got the oil from no. africa. He saw the threat and called it out. Just as Trump is doing. For years Winston was ignored, and made fun of. When Chamberlain appeased the nazi's Churchill called him a a fraud. and when the nazis' poured like molten iron into countries finally Churchhill was proven right. He alone stood against the monster without fear assaulted the monster over the airwaves. If you've ever stood in Trafalgar Square you know just how close we came to losing our liberties to the nazi's.
The bust of Sir Winston is returning not because MLK bust is there but because the man stood for liberty and defended it with every fibre and sinew of his being. He battled his own serious illness e.g. depression and fought for you and I and all the free waving people who live under the flags that he defended.

Thats why.
I know who Churchill is and what he did.
I just don't get the uproar over a bust. It's not like it was destroyed.
It was just moved.
Manufactured outrage.

No, not manufactured outrage, and I have no issue with an MLK bust, too, but Churchill should be as much an icon to Americans as our founding fathers. No Churchill and neither us of us are free to type what we think. When many "leaders" fell to their knees, WC stood tall. That's part of why we can debate the importance of this bust.

And moved because the British wanted it back .
"When that administration came to an end so did the loan; the bust now resides in the British Ambassador's Residence in Washington DC," the Embassy said. "The White House collection has its own Epstein bust of Churchill, which President Obama showed to Prime Minister Cameron when he visited the White House in March."
