How stupid does your comment look right about now Curious George? Not that your statements alone aren't enough to prove you haven't a clue... of what is reality, of how to spell, or how to look at a situation and truly understand it from an educated point of view. What are you a Fox news anchor? All that being said and you having stuck your own proverbial foot in your mouth numerous times, how do you like them "Obama on Osama apples"?

We are now in month 14 of President Obama's "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN". Well, I believe it now, and DO NOT LIKE IT!!
This has been nothing by 14 months of blaming others for their failures; outsourcing public policy to Pelosi and Reid; FAILURE to listen to those who got him elected, and other citizens for that matter; historical arrogance from the White House on a daily basis; and consistent dithering on major domestic and foreign affairs issues.
I, for one, did not vote for this guy for him to tell us who inspired him. I voted for him to go to work for American!! He is proving that his inexperience cannot be made up through speeches on a teleprompter. HE HAS YET TO PROVE HE IS A LEADER, OR A MANAGER OF HIS OWN PARTY!
Everything he has touched has either broken or lost!!
He needs to clean house in the White House, and get some folks who are not egotistically loquacious on board, or his presidency is TOAST!

While I will agree that this is a fluff piece, your evidence is completely off the wall. you have no idea why Obama sent that back and it really has nothing to do with whether or not He is truly following in the footsteps of those great men. Not to mention while he is taking some ideals from them, that does not mean it is a good idea to follow what they did to the letter. We live in different times and have different needs from our political powers. finally it is completely opinion whether or not Winston Churchill is such a great man, It is entirely possible that Obama is taking a page out of Abram Lincolns book and taking a necessary stand even if it is not the most popular side to take.

Aren't you getting tired of writing puff pieces to prop up the Obama presidency? Here's a guy who within weeks of getting into the Oval office sent back the bust of Winston Churchill, a gift from the British Government to the nation during the Bush presidency, an act of total disrespect to our most loyal ally. Winston Churchill was rated by most publications as the "Man of the Century."
What Mr. Obama clearly hasn't learned about is the humility of George Washington, so key parts of his reading appear not to have resonated.
