churchill is greatly revered on both sides of the atlantic.: it sounds like the white house is trying to explain this whole thing by doubling down on this explanation. let's listen to what they said. >> the reason that we waited on friday is there is a myth floating in some of the darker corners of the internet that suggests that upon taking office the president went out mucho -- out of his way to snub the british people by prematurely returning the bust of winston churchill that occupied a prominent place in the oval office under the previous president. that's not true. as the white house cure -- curator explained, the bust was loaned to president bush by the british government. as is customary, at the conclusion of president bush's term and before president obama entered the oval office the bust was returned to the british embassy. >> i think that pretty ridiculous. he's talking about the darkest corners of the internet. this is a story widely reported by the british press by the daily telegraph, the daily mail. is he referring to the britis

the white house collection has had a second churchill bust for decades, which is the one pheiffer says is on display in the residence. late today, pheiffer updated his blog post noting the two busts, not admitting a mistake, but instead, maintaining, quote, the idea put forward by charles krauthammer and others that president obama returned the churchill bust or refused to display the bust because of antipathy toward the british is completely false. reaction from charles in a few. >>> is the british press playing favorites when it comes to president obama and governor romney? one media writer says yes. mediaite notes londoners criticized him for so-called gaffes during the visit. but rothman says the fourth estate there has been much more forgiving to president obama. when he gave the queen an ipod containing among other things, audio of two of president obama's speeches, some in the u.s. labeled that a tad bit egocentric. but the guardian gushed, clearly a lot of thought went into this gift. mrs. obama broke with your remain by touching the queen and the telegraph read, renew ago touc

i've always treasured, i'm a churchill nut. we like churchill more than you do over there. this relationship, i've always liked it whenever the brits, the british people like an american movie for example. i saw "blades of glory" over there with my daughter and i loved laughing with the brits at an american movie, something ludicrous with will ferrell. what is our relationship? here is a tricky one. what is the relationship between the old country and the new world right now? >> well, look, it's absolutely clear, chris, that there is a special relationship. it's a special relationship that was forged back in 1939 with the alliance during the second world war. it's a special relationship that has thrived in recent times, even when you have had political leaders who do not see eye to eye idealogically, like george w. bush and tony blair. and it's a special relationship that david cameron and barack obama, again, not ideological soul mates have, managed to continue taking to a fresh level. what is so troubling about the events of the last couple of days is that mitt romney, th

>> too many people have already written about churchill. i would not attempt to do that. i did not see myself as necessarily a biographer of that particular period. i have always been fascinated by eisenhower, his qualities and some of his weaknesses as well. he is a fascinating character. one sees these various limitations of leaders at a particular time. i have always been struck by the way that many of these commanders, particularly on the allied side, not in the armies of totalitarian regimes, the commanders had spent most of their time in complete isolation and anonymity. suddenly they became film stars. they could only make a personality cult of these commanders. most of them were much too modest and a remarkable commanders, and were totally unfazed. one or two, certainly macarthur and to some degree patent and montgomery, did almost see themselves as the film stars or presidential candidates. vanity was dangerous. >> one small question. you say that montgomery had photographs of himself he would pass out? >> you have to remember that britain was short of military h

this is the bust of winston churchill that was presented to bush in 2001.ssador's office. he did write an update to his blog of a learning he was wrong but our friend charles krauthammer didn't get an apology. and here's the reaction. >> why would he return it in the first place? >> he replaced it with a bust of abraham lincoln, which i'm sure if it had been the other way around you guys would have been -- >> you guys? >> you guys, the conservatives, would have been on him for replacing a good american president with an english man by winston churchill. and you take a good american like abraham andtioning him. >> you know, speaking he has a hof brother, and he was living in like a hut, do you know when he went and visited him, how much do you think president obama gave his brother? >> here we go. >> want me to tell you? don't you believe they should donate to somebody living in poverty who is related to you? >> sean. >> i'm asking. how much do you think president obama gave? >> i don't know the circumstances. i don't know the circumstances. >> not a penny.
