Question: Do YOU think it was a big insult to England for Obama to return a 9-11 sympathy gift, a statue of a past Prime Minister, Winston Churchhill, which has been sitting in the Oval Office since our darkest day in history?

OK, I am seriously livid. I am BEYOND angry now. I am SO angry, I could do and say things I'd never do and say before. This piece of, whatever, has gone and insulted our best friend, England, very seriously. This is NOT what you do to your closest and best allie. Ok, let me explain...Obama had the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, a guy of great, great importance from England and was visiting with Obama and his wife, who wrote a very nasty college paper on the demon white people and the horrible people from England, and was presented with VERY expensive historical gifts made out of wood from the HMS ship anti-slave ship, but needless to say, Obama's gift back was a box of 25 USED American Classic DVD's that he can't even watch because they didn't work. The DVD's in England are scripted in a different way than America and will not work there. This is where I get really ticked off now...the gift thing just showed his ignorance. This next thing he did was SO insolent, it's mind-blowing. I am SO IRATE. Britain is SO angry with the Obama's over this. Britain has called him rude and insulting. England's media is calling Obama out on this. Obama returned a statue bust of Winston Churchhill, a former Prime Minister, who loved our country dearly and held us in the highest regards. It was a sympathy gift given to us which was a symbol of solidarity between our countries, United States and England, which was given to us after 9-11. England's heart was broken for us after 9-11. They were truly sympathetic to us on our darkest day in history. Gordon Brown tried to explain to him that it was a gift and that he could put it in a museum, but NO! He had to insult England and tell him that he didn't need OR want it. He told him he could carry it back to England with him or that he would ship it back...WHAT?!?!?! This statue has been sitting in the OVAL office since 9-11-01 and this junk president wants to get rid of it! HOW COMPLETELY INSULTING! I don't care what it's got to do about bothering Obama about this War on Terror, Bush or whatever! This statue had NOTHING to do with ANY of these things! It was a strong and sympathetic showing of support to us on a dark day in our history. It was a great show of love and support. It was a best friend's way of giving us a shoulder to cry on. It was a way for our big Sister to hug us. It was sincere and Obama took it and rubbed it in England's face in the worse way that he could have. What an ignorant guy. I am doing what Glenn Beck asked me to do and I'm sending my apology for Obama's childish and ignorant behavior to the English Embassy. I'm letting them know how sorry I am for his ignorance and that they really do mean something to us and that we love them. They ARE our best friend AND best allie and God forbid we lose them as friends...it will be the 2nd scariest day we have had this past year- first was Obama getting elected. The British Embassy address is below. Please write to them and apologize for his ignorance and tell them how much they mean to us. Thanks ladies...I'm sooo mad. British Embassy 3100 Massachussetts Avenue NW Washington D.C. 20008

IS ANYONE READING THIS?! VOTE LADIES!!!!!
Hey-I posted this on Q&A today, LOL> I love Glenn Beck. I will be writing the PM- I want to go get a nice apology card to send tomorrow. I can't believe America isn't more torn up about this. . .
Do the send a tea bag to the whitehouse on April 1, too if you want :D
of course it won't be broadcast... it's the damn media. I cannot believe the nerve and the utter lack of respect..that would be equivalent to sending the statue of liberty back(it might offend the muslims because she isn't in a durka.
I think the bust was on loan anyway. So, it really wasn't "given" it was loaned. Also, because of the Brittish rule of Kenya during Churchill's time, Obama's father spent months in a detention center. So, maybe he isn't so fond of Churchill. While the press may see it as a snub, another article I read said that the averageBrittish citizen will not be troubled. Sounds like people just trying to make a stink over nothing.
lole, if someone beat the piss out of your grandmother, would you accept a likeness of that person as a gift? i guess the war, the environment, and homeless american children aren't all that important today.
I heard about this earlier, too, and it makes me very angry. I voted popular.
There are many more important things to worry about than a statue no matter what! Talk about wanting your voices to be heard, talk about something that actually makes a difference to the future of our country and children!
It was on loan. There are other things that deserve the energy and outrage that went into this post.
