Obama Quotes Churchill to British Parliament After Chucking His Bust From the White House
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, May 25, 2011, 6:52 AM
When Obama moved into the White House in 2009 one of the first things he did was ship the bust of Former Prime Minister Winston Churchill back to Great Britain. It cluttered up his Oval Office.
The Churchill bust was a gift from Tony Blair. (All Voices)
But, that didn’t stop Barack Obama from quoting Churchill today in his speech to the British Parliament.
CNN reported:
Obama closes with a Churchill quote: “In the long years to come, not only will the people of this island but of the world, wherever the bird of freedom chirps in human hearts, look back to what we’ve done, and they will say ‘do not despair, do not yield…march straightforward.’”
Obama finally found a use for Churchill.
More… He didn’t quote CHurchill once. He quoted him 5 times.
NUMBER ONE
As Winston Churchill said, the “…Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the Habeas Corpus, trial by jury, and English common law find their most famous expression in the American Declaration of Independence.”NUMBER TWO
Indeed, our efforts in this young century have led us to a new concept for NATO that will give us the capabilities needed to meet new threats: terrorism and piracy, cyber attacks and ballistic missiles. But a revitalized NATO will continue to hew to that original vision of its founders, allowing us to rally collective action for the defense of our people, while building upon the broader belief of Roosevelt and Churchill that all nations have both rights and responsibilities, and share a common interest in an international architecture that keeps the peace.NUMBER THREE
That is what forged our bond in the fire of war — a bond made manifest by the friendship between two of our greatest leaders. Churchill and Roosevelt had their differences. They were keen observers of each other’s blind spots and shortcomings, if not always their own, and they were hard-headed about their ability to remake the world.NUMBER FOUR
This conviction lives on in their people today. The challenges we face are great. The work before us is hard. But we have come through a difficult decade, and whenever the tests and trials ahead seem too big or too many, let us turn to their example, and the words that Churchill spoke on the day that Europe was freed:
“In the long years to come, not only will the people of this island but of the world, wherever the bird of freedom chirps in human hearts, look back to what we’ve done, and they will say ‘do not despair, do not yield…march straightforward’”NUMBER FIVE
This doesn’t mean we can afford to stand still. The nature of our leadership will need to change with the times. As I said the first time I came to London as President, the days are gone when Roosevelt and Churchill could sit in a room and solve the world’s problems over a glass of brandy — though I’m sure Prime Minister Cameron would agree that some days we could both use a stiff drink. In this century, our joint leadership will require building new partnerships, adapting to new circumstances, and remaking ourselves to meet the demands of a new era.

Ho hum, Barry is scum.
Militant Conservative commented:
Obama is the anti Churchill and anti Reagan.
Obama is just a run of the mill socialist with a severe malignant narcissist problem.
Probably due to Obama’s drug addiction.
powder is dry

“Our nations will never be at war with Islam! Our fight is with Al Quida and it’s extremist elements!”
Too bad that islam is at war with us, has been for 1,400 years.
Obama should ask the British people what they think of this nonsense. The people who have islam shoved into their faces by their so called leaders 24/7.
Can’t wait for Pat Condell to open up at Obama, and Geert Wilders and the EDL.

I believe the bust of Churchill was “on loan”, not a gift, from England, although U’m sure Ibama had his hatred for Churchill.

“they will say ‘do not despair, do not yield…march straightforward.’”
He must be talking about the muzzies trying to eradicate the Jews. Bastard.
chucktuna commented:
Yes, this lies been thoroughly debunked numerous times. The bust was on loan and scheduled to be returned regardless who sat in the oval office. Although i do enjoy you guys embarrasing yourselves.
gus commented:
Why this fu@#ing disgrace telling us or the British people who or whom we are NOT AT WAR with.
In fact, the LEFT in the U.S. have been at war with Christianity for some time now.
Militant Conservative commented:
Very good Gus,
Obama’s days are numbered, too many have awoke to the keysian economic nightmare.
When you make politics an economic reality you cannot hide, i.e. Jimmy Carter your toast.
powder is dry, sniff sniff. LOL
a former democrat commented:
These are words, just words.
It doesn’t mean anything if the person saying them doesn’t believe, no matter how much he pretend to believe them now. Sitting in a church listeing to america-hating sermons for 2 decades, etc reveals all that he believes.
Beautiful profound words like that of Churchhill are like a beautiful meal, presented on beautiful plate its an appetizing meal, put that same meal presented on the cover of a garbage can, completely changes the entire picture.
Bibi in his 20s was fighting terrorists, President WTF was smoking weed and listening to how America is a racist, horrible country.
gus commented:
Chucktuna, get your head out of your a$$. What’s wrong with your emotionally disturbed libtards??? WHY did Obama give the bust back to Britain? Can you come up with a rational answer fuktard??
Btw. Johnny Edwards is going to prison!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha.
Liberalism is a disease tuna breath.

Your a liar and I have the proof. Yes it was on LOAN, but England offered Obama the option to keep it for his term and the President sent it back. Liberals are such liars and deceivers.

Froggey commented:
To all the libs claiming that the bust of Churchill HAD to be returned! THAT is a lie! Obama CHOSE to return it!
“But when British officials offered to let Mr Obama to hang onto the bust for a further four years, the White House said: “Thanks, but no thanks.”
