Obama: UK-US Trade Deal Would Be Back Of Queue (arrogant oligarch Obama!)

Barack Obama has said a trade deal between the UK and US would be at the "back of the queue" if the UK left the European Union.

The President said a free trade arrangement would not happen "any time soon" in the event of Brexit.

Speaking alongside Prime Minister David Cameron at the Foreign Office, he said: "I think it's fair to say that maybe some point down the line there might be a UK-US trade agreement.

"But it's not going to happen any time soon because our focus is in negotiating with a big bloc, the European Union, to get a trade agreement done.

"The UK is going to be in the back of the queue."

Trying to do "piecemeal trade agreements" was "hugely inefficient", the President said.

He also knows that if the UK folks take their country back, Americans are going to do the same come this November with Mr. Trump.

I hope the first thing President Trump does is put Churchill’s bust back in the Oval Office!

I have a funny feeling that Zero is going to have very little influence on when the US & UK begin negotiating any trade deals considering he imminent departure ...

Politically Obama put his foot in his mouth up to the ankle with that “Back of the queue” quote.

Reality is this. The UK split from the EU will take time, it is not overnight. And when the time comes to make new trade deals between Great Britain and the United States, Trump will be in the White House.

I expect to see more countries bail out of the EU soon and then it’s eventual dissolution within 5 years.

"Mr. Obama fails to realize that socialism is FAILING"

I wish I could use some of those graphic programs. Super imposing his face on the Wicked Witch of the West with his face on her saying "I'm Melting" would be priceless right about now..., It might be even better than Hillary...

>>Mr. Obama fails to realize that socialism is FAILING

He doesn’t fail to realize that. He knows it. He knows that every socialist experiment is doomed to fail and, like every socialist dictator, he has to cement it in place before the people realize that the free stuff gravy train is a fraud.

Brexit and Trump are the beginning of the end for socialism in the west. The people are rising up and not becoming the great socialists he planned for us to be.

You mean the same day they do not have all the parties and he signs 150 or more Executive Orders to undo all the NWO EO's of the last 30 years and does it on CSPAN live? ;-)

That is my fantasy, let's hope they are lurking and take our hints....

One more thing...

On day one, he also meets with Bibi Netanyahu in the Oval Office to exchange pleasantries and to let him know America is Israel's ally and we are with them 100%, LIVE on camera!

As a symbolic gesture to mark the end Obama and his disastrous foreign policy, President Trump should send Air Force One to retrieve Churchill's bust and fly it back to the White House

If things are really as bad as they look like thry are going, as a message to the rest of the world that America has returned to sanity, Trump may even consider picking it up in person

He tried to use back of the bus, the racist metaphor. He is only good for class warfare and agitation. We will soon be rid of him. He is totally bad news.

Don't worry, Brits. This festering pustule will soon be gone.

"Mr. Obama fails to realize that socialism is FAILING"

By the reasoning of those on FR, it is. But, if you look at the younger set, and the brainwashing they've gotten, I'm less certain. Look at the enthusiasm for the Socialist Bern. In terms of results, socialism is a disaster, but there's an ever increasing number of people who think it will work if only they get a chance to do it right.

Well, how good will a trade agreement with a bloc that has no future to be able to honor such agreements, huh Barry. Have you thought about that?

So he is perfectly okay with Kenya being a sovereign nation but not Britain.

“Barack Obama has said a trade deal between the UK and US would be at the “back of the queue” if the UK left the European Union.”......

The Brits only have to hold off a few months until Trump is hopefully sworn in, then things will start to happen.
