President Obama's pledge "to never set foot in the UK again if that country's voters decide to leave the European Union" appears to have bolstered the movement pushing for that objective.

Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said "this threat from the odious Mr. Obama is a shot-in-the-arm to our efforts to extricate our country from the bureaucratic tyranny that the EU has become. It's like a 'buy one, get one free' offer. Not only will the people of the United Kingdom get to disentangle ourselves from the EU's continental fops, we will also, apparently, see the last of America's premier self-righteous prig."

Obama's National Security Adviser Susan Rice called Farage's remarks "daring and dangerous. He's overlooking the fact that President Obama controls the world strongest military force—a force that could easily crush the United Kingdom in a matter of weeks if he gave the order."

British Prime Minister David Cameron, a proponent of the UK's continued membership in the EU, thanked Ambassador Rice "for helping to clarify the stakes in this important referendum."
