Watch any of the TV news talk shows Friday and almost all have ignored one important fact: the Brexit 'Leave' victory was another humiliating loss for President Barack Obama.
In fact, some British polls even showed that voter sentiment moved decidedly in favor of Brexit after Obama traveled to Britain and urged a "no" vote.
British voters delivered a stinging rebuke to Obama on Thursday when they opted to leave the EU by a 52 percent to 48 percent margin.
So strong was the backlash to Obama's blatant attempt to influence the Brexit vote – polls following his April visit to London showed the opposition to his remarks running at about 60 percent – that a reasonable case could be made he contributed to the outcome.
Obama's threatening remarks against Britain over Brexit seemed to have ignited a tempest.

I also read something similar in a British publication written 11 days before Brexit...
The article (excerpts below) describe the Obama administrations actions to influence the Brits to vote down Brexit...
It also goes on to parallel our Trump phenomena, compared to the ills of Britain.
It's an interesting read...

Why is America so alarmed by Brexit?
Lest the reader be in doubt, remind yourself of this.
Never before has a sitting US president visited a fellow democracy in a bid to sway an election.
Nor, until now, have
- 13 former US secretaries of state and defence risked addressing a letter to a foreign electorate with the same motive.
- Ditto eight former Treasury secretaries and
- five former supreme commanders of Nato.
Not only has the US establishment broken its non-interference rule over Brexit, it is stamping on its smithereens.
If we did not know better, it might seem the UK was uniquely important to the future of the world.

The demographic parallels between those backing Brexit and Mr Trump’s supporters are too close to ignore... [more]
US Media Ignores Obama’s Role in Brexit Disaster
____________________________________________
That’s okay, Trump will remind the voters and the world what our Jug-Eared, Kenyan, Marxist pResident did!
Brexit is no “disaster”. Brexit is a salvation to sovereignty and nation statehood. It is one of the greatest things we have seen since the fall of the Berlin wall. God bless ENGLAND!!
They should be playing the Loser Tuba song from
‘Let’s Make a Deal’.
Yup. I bet Trump will also remind people of how hard Obama pushed to get the Olympics in Chicago.
Fail.
Obama can’t make a deal.
Hillary can’t make a deal.
Trump makes great deals. So important.
Iran thinks Obama is great at making deals. But that’s Iran.
Yup. I bet Trump will also remind people of how hard Obama pushed to get the Olympics in Chicago.

Exactly!
The media ignores all Obama disasters - obamacare, Libya , Syria, greatest refugee crisis since WWII, worst economic recovery ever
People have been covering for Obama all his life, and this is no different.
Disaster?
It was a victory for the Rights of Man.
What? The Brits didn’t take kindly to his hectoring, bullying, browbeating, irritation, nagging, badgering, baiting, blustering, domineering, harassment, intimidation, riding them, swagger, teasing and torment?
Color me shocked. We sure enjoy it here in the good ole U.S. of A.
I hope Trump takes every opportunity to remind everyone of this Community Organizers abysmal failures as POTUS. Trump should force feed this A-Hole a heaping helping of his “Rules for Radicals” until this POS chokes on it!
Please.
It’s just another case of everything that bastard touches turns to sh!t
Amen to that. Smear the vile crook clinton with her associates. I suspect his speech about Clinton this week was just a warm up.
I suspect the Brits were especially offended by Obama’s visit with the Queen during his political visit to dissuade British voters from leaving EU. The gall this scumbag has.
You go, Donald!!!!
Hee hee.
Say it!!
Obama’s Brexit overreach is typical of his arrogance;
The British politicians counting on his endorsement don’t understand the resentment he can cause

“Nobody could describe Donald Trump as lacking in self-confidence, but the billionaire egomaniac is emotional jelly compared with King Barack.”
LOL!!
