[QUOTE]A bust of the former prime minister once voted the greatest Briton in history,which was loaned to George W Bush from the Government's art collection after the September 11 attacks, has now been formally handed back. The bronze by Sir Jacob Epstein, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds if it were ever sold on the open market, enjoyed pride of place in the Oval Office during President Bush's tenure. But when British officials offered to let Mr Obama hang onto the bust for a further four years, the White House said: "Thanks, but no thanks ." QUOTE] I am sure it is because of Churchhill's truths about the muslim people. I wonder if he will replace it with his own bust?

Or maybe it was about Churchill's comments about capitalism.

It might be because Churchill is alleged to have said something like "If you're not a liberal at age 20, you have no heart, but if you're not a conservative by age 40, you have no brain."
