It's no trinket. And, those with any sense of social grace would put it in a closet, not send a gift BACK to the giver.And that is relevant to my statement about Obama not liking the Brits, how?im not sure where you're coming from. i was in the UK during the g20 and obama was well received. ....
Idiot.
See, there WAS this bust of Churchill in the Oval Office. It was by a good artist and quite valuable. It was a gift to the USA from the UK..... what would make you say that he dislikes them? i should say what actions of his make you say that?
Obama didn't want it and rather than just move it to even a closet in the WH, Obama sent it back to the Brits.
Either Obama is a complete social Klutz (not good for a US President), or his message to the UK is crystal clear.
(Wait for the spin on that.)
If the Oval Office contained every significant "gift" ever accumulated by a president, it would look like my Aunt Hanna's cellar. Likewise, the British Prime Minister and the Queen and King have amassed so many "gifts" from foreign leaders, they can barely even feign excitement anymore. You're equating trinkets to foreign relations? I can hear the conversation now: "We're pulling our troops out of Afghanistan because you won't display the bust of Churchill..."
You would, though, obviously.
