For real??
Yeah.
"I love Winston Churchill. I love the guy. Now, when I was elected as president of the United States, my predecessor had kept a Churchill bust in the Oval Office. There are only so many tables where you can put busts -- otherwise it starts looking a little cluttered," Obama said.

He said he thought it was appropriate that as the first African-American president in the United States, he would have in his office a bust of civil rights leader King, "to remind me of all the hard work of a lot of people who would somehow allow me to have the privilege of holding this office."
In context: Churchill, MLK busts in Oval Office
But in 2016, Obama admitted he had decided to remove the bust of Churchill in the Oval Office to make room for one of Martin Luther King Jr. “There are only so many tables where you can put busts — otherwise it starts looking a little cluttered,” he said.

Besides, he noted, he already had a bust of Churchill just outside his office in the private residence. “I see it every day, including on weekends, when I’m going into that office to watch a basketball game,” he said.
Here’s the real story about the Churchill bust in the Oval Office

The hate:
Obama critics charged that Obama sent a bust of Churchill back to the British Embassy as an affront to America’s closest ally. In 2011, Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and once a presidential hopeful, said that Obama removed the bust because "he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather." He falsely claimed Obama grew up in Kenya, though Obama only visited the country (where his father was born) for the first time when he was in his 20s, the Associated Press reported
