Did the White House remove the bust of Winston Churchill?

President Obama replaced the bust in the Oval Office with one of Abraham Lincoln. Churchill was returned to the British Embassy, which loaned the bust to President George W. Bush as a gesture of solidarity following 9/11. When Mitt Romney and columnist Charles Krauthammer questioned the removal, the White House at first denied Churchill was gone. Turns out, there are two Churchill busts. One was returned. The other, in the White House since the 1960s, remains in the presidential residence.
