Obama isnt very dexterous offending his most important allies the United Kingdom. I wonder if he will ever be important enough to be remembered in history like the keen winston churchill.
I doubt it.
Mr. Obama didn't have it relocated to another imposing location in the White House complex - say, the Cabinet Room or even the First Family's residence. Neither did he choose to put it on display in the Smithsonian, where this appearance of the greatest honorary American could have been enjoyed and revered by the rest of us. No, President Obama had it sent back to the British, who would be entitled to regard offended as well as appalled.
Thanks to his own life experiences - notably, his Kenyan father and a formative stay in Indonesia - Mr. Obama distinctly identifies with those colonized, rather than the colonizers. Perhaps, he wanted to serve notice of his solidarity with Mahatma Gandhi and the other anti-imperialist revolutionaries who struggled against Churchill and his direction.
