"Barack Obama has sent Sir Winston Churchill packing and pulse rates soaring among anxious British diplomats. A bust of the former prime minister once voted the greatest Briton in history, which was loaned to George W Bush from the Government's art collection after the September 11 attacks, has now been formally handed back."
I named my blog after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus -- A Roman consul who served only long enough to save his Republic before returning to his farm. Cincinnatus was the inspiration for the Order of Cincinnatus, to which George Washington and Lafayette and many other American Patriots were members. Omnia relinquit servare rempublicam - He relinquished everything to serve the Republic.

Great point and picture!!!
Obama replaced the bust of Churchill with one of Abe Lincoln, which is not bad in itself, but after hinting he could keep it, the Brits seem to have been slighted by the all thumbs, tin earred, feet of clay, lack of nuance foreign policy expertise of The One™.
