‘I Love the Guy’: Obama says of Churchill

LONDON (TIP): As if to assuage the hurt feelings of Britons over a perceived notion that U.S. President Barack Obama had disrespected the wartime British leader Sir Winston Churchill because of a grudge against Britain linked to his Kenyan ancestry, Obama now on a visit to the UK told Britons on Friday, April 22 that he loved Winston Churchill.

“I love Winston Churchill, I love the guy,” Obama said when asked at a news conference about Johnson’s article.

Obama was visiting London to press Britons to vote to stay in the European Union and noted that the U.K. will go to “the back of the queue” for trade deals with the U.S. if Britain votes to leave the E.U..

The Churchill issue arose after London Mayor Boris Johnson, who is campaigning for an “Out” vote, brought it up in an article criticizing Obama.
