Help Obama: Who Should Replace Oval Office Churchill?
By Rick Pearcey • February 24, 2009, 09:35 AM
Frank Gaffney wonders what up.
It is no secret that Team Obama is all about symbolism and messaging. So presumably it was no accident that one of the new president's first gestures was to have a bust of Winston Churchill given to the United States by the British government removed from the Oval Office....
If indeed this explicit disassociation with one of the iconic heroes of the last century was meant to convey a symbolic message, the question occurs: Precisely which message and for whom was it intended?...
With the Oval Office now cleansed of Churchill, Gaffney suggests a suitable replacement might be a bust of appeasement icon Neville Chamberlain.
What bust would you suggest to adorn the digs of Barack Obama? Why?
