Consequences

When Barak Obama entered the White House he was upset to find a bust of Winston Churchill in the Oval Office. His reaction to this gift from the British Government was to order it returned to the Brits because, for some reason the bust of Churchill affronted him. When he was told that the bust was gift from the British people to the American people he still insisted that it be removed and returned to the Brits. So much for protocol and international relations and today the bust is on temporary duty at the British Embassy in Washington.

Skip forward two years and the Brits are planning a royal wedding and are inviting heads of state from most of the world to attend. Most, that is, except for the President of the United States. So much for that shopping trip that Mrs. Obama might have been anticipating.
