I read about that...I was hoping it was false.

Unbelievable. I'm at a loss for words.

That Winston's bust needs to exist in the White House is laughable. Obama did the right thing, he already has two live lapdogs. What's the big deal?

A bust of Lincoln was put there in its place. Maybe you could explain how was choosing to recognize a Symbol of America over that of another country is a disgrace
