    "In February 2009, the British Embassy told The Telegraph that the bust “sits in the palatial residence of ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald … a British Embassy spokesman said: ‘The bust of Sir Winston Churchill by Sir Jacob Epstein was uniquely lent to a foreign head of state, President George W. Bush, from the Government Art Collection in the wake of 9/11 as a signal of the strong transatlantic relationship. It was lent for the first term of office of President Bush. When the president was elected for his second and final term, the loan was extended until January 2009.
    The new president has decided not to continue this loan and the bust has now been returned. It is on display at the ambassador’s residence.”

    Yes it was scheduled to go back, because Obama had been asked after the election if he would like to keep the bust in the White House by the British government. Decorating and plans for decorating begin well before the new President moves into the White House. THE DECISION WAS MADE BY OBAMA HIMSELF BEFORE HE ARRIVED. Since you decided to cross the line and insult me I'll respond by saying that you sound like a complete fucktard for making these comments without understanding that fact.

    What difference does that make?

    Even granting your schedule of facts, how does that point to anyone being a Marxist or a Socialist?

    There are millions of icons which one might choose to decorate an office, or to imply symbolism. Choosing any one out of millions doesn't mean you reject all the ideas other things might bring. My car isn't orange - but it's not because I don't like orange. Maybe Obama had some other things that he thought better suited his style; or maybe he wasn't spending all his time thinking about how to decorate his (huge) new office.

    Maybe, since we had a bust of Churchill there already, a Junior Assistant Deputy in the "Themes and Symbolism" office of the Interior Decorating Department for the Transitional Team was all like "What? We don't need two. Whichever one is uglier, send that back. Maybe we can get a Cromwell for it. Or a Thatcher. Damn, what is it with the Brits and Ugly?"

    Heck, maybe GWBush isn't a huge Churchill fan. What if the British sent a gift in the wake of 9/11 and GWB didn't spend the entire afternoon thinking about whether the deep symbolism struck just the right tone, or if the style of sculpture fit with the rest of the artistic flavour that he spent so much time carefully curating. What if he was, like, "Hey, um, thanks. You British guys are the best. As soon as I'm done touring the enormous smoking hole in lower Manhattan me and Laura are going to spend the weekend finding just the right place to display and admire it" - but then, secretly, delegate the job of dealing with it to a Junior Assistant Deputy in the White House Interior Decorating (Symbolism) Department.

    All bullshit aside Obama sucks, Mitt sucks, Paul sucks, dems suck, reps suck, libs suck, and congressmen suck. We will never cure the problem until we get rid of party line bullshit and put up some people WORTHY of the jobs that need to be done.

    Why the hell do they need TWO busts, anyways? Your article is a he-said-she-said piece where the British said the new President didn't renew the loan and the White House said the decision was made before Obama was in office. In short, who the fuck cares? This is another non-issue the far-right made up.

How desperate are you to try and keep people from hearing this information anyway?
    Lol, right. No, I'm criticizing that you used a Politifact story that rated Glenn Beck's statement as mostly false AND contradicted what you said about the Muslim Brotherhood, an op/ed from US News and World, FrontPage, National Review, Hot Air, some right-wing Christian Wintery Knight blog, and misrepresenting a VICE documentary. Pathetic, and like I said, laughable at best.

By the way I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to understand more about Obama, in HIS OWN WORDS and in the words of his own family, former pastor and friends.
    No, you have no facts. You are seeing things that aren't there and then drawing connections with no evidence that require logic leaps that no sane person can make. As for D'Souza, he has NEVER even talked to Obama. Not once. Yet he claims to know about what Obama is thinking? Lol! D'Souza is a hack and a liar and none of his bullshit withstands any real scrutiny or basic logic.

What I've said has some of these points covered, but I also believe things D'Sousa does not.
    Care to show what Obama is doing now that would fall under this "black liberation theology of Jeremiah Wright"? Obama threw him under the bus the first chance he could. His membership in that church was more for political benefit over true belief. That said, I'll await the examples of where he is implementing this. And what do you say about Romney who belongs to a church that believed that black people were inferior to whites? He must have truly believed that or else he would have left the church, right?

    China isn't a military threat to us, Iran doesn't have weapons yet and no viable means to reach us, and North Korea can barely launch a rocket before it fails spectacularly. Even if you think we need a nuclear deterrent, we don't need thousands of nukes. Mutual disarmament is a good thing. It improves diplomacy and cooperation. Why do you think Iran wants nukes, anyways? Because Israel has them and are warmongering and making threats against Iran.

You probably think that the Jon Stewart Show is news, too, don't you?
    You didn't make a serious post, it was a conspiracy theory-filled rant. I just showed a hilarious beat down of the guy you got all your points from by a comedian. It was funny. I never used it as a source for any facts, though.

    When you believe everything you see in a propaganda film, then, yeah, I'm gonna call a spade a spade.

To the point where he wants to punish those he views are colonialist and support the supposed "victims" of colonialism. For example, this completely explains his return of the bust of Churchill to England. He hates Churchill because he sees him as a colonialist. No, Obama is most assuredly NOT "one of us". Obama hates America for what he sees are egregious colonialist crusades around the world and he seeks to bring the U.S. down to the level of all the other countries in the world. He would love to see a nuclear Iran (as evidenced by his inaction on that issue), he has turned his back on Israel and he gives foreign aid to our enemies. He has quietly overseen an unprecedented planned reduction in our offensive and defensive nuclear capability He has personally overseen and helped Al Quaida take over Egypt and Libya, and is doing the same in Syria. Meanwhile, his Marxist goals will be fulfilled as the economy crashes and to fix his own created problem (capitalizing of course on what Bush started with the crap he did adding crazy debt but for different stupid reasons), he will surely propose government takeover of industry and private enterprise as the solution. Hell he talked about it very recently in public.

    And you and your friends on the left are either suckers who don't know this man or what the fuck he stands for, or you share his dream of destroying this country and re-molding it into something that doesn't resemble the republic it was founded as. I can forgive the first election but this one? Shame on anyone who votes for this man. I would vote for a fucking retarded goat named Jimbo instead of Obama. I'd even love to have Hilary Clinton instead of Obama, she would never have pulled this shit.

    Fov I never mentioned this before but I have been all over the world and spent a considerable amount of time outside the U.S. and I have a different viewpoint than a lot of people because of it. As I have said, either you are a complete sucker or you share Obama's dream.

    Everyone reading this had better start looking at the shit that is going on right now in this country very seriously, and had better take a close look at what the people around you are saying and doing with regard to the political situation in this country. For the most part I believe that the 2 party system we have is a sham, and I do believe that Republicans and Democrats do have very different visions of what they want America to look like. However the part that is the sham is the notion that they aren't playing to the same end game. Both sides are playing to put the U.S. into a one world government, which is bad juju. But Obama is also wedging his own fucked up personal, radical agenda in there too.
