Why Does This Not Surprise Me?
During his term as President, George W. Bush had on loan from the British government a bust of Sir Winston Churchill in the oval office. The Brits offered to extend the loan to President Obama. Nope, he decided to send the bust packing. Perhaps some of our thoughtful readers might have guesses as to what bust Obama might replace it with?

The bust of a terrorist, obviously.
We had George W. Bush on loan from the British government?
[Insert joke here]
I love dangling participles.
Maybe Merrie England has a bust of Henry VIII they could ship over?
Grammar of the original post corrected. I should never do a spur of the moment posting late at night.
Che?
Aw man, you should have done a strikeout. Now my acerbic wit doesn’t make any sense.
Sorry bearing!
I’d like to imagine something more mockable but I’m assuming Obama went for MLK or Lincoln?
Would have made a hat rack for Obama. Better that the Brits take it home.
How about a teleprompter?

Lots of options:
Mugabe?
Lenin or Marx?
Sanger?
The One himself?
Jimmy Carter.

3. a female

The press are usually sticklers for the separation of church and state, but in this case, I’m sure they’d make an exception.
Humor, Mark. Humor. At least in part.
Actually, this is what he has in his office:

Here’s the one I think he’d choose
