US Media Ignores Obama's Role in Brexit Disaster
Newsmax ^ | 24-June-2016 | David A. Patten

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.

The feckless fool on the hill is just that, a complete and utter feckless fool on a hill. The lapdog media is not concerned with their traditional role as the third estate,a “free” press. Their new role is a cheerleader for anyone with a “D” in front of their name. What an evil joke.

No disaster to you and me, but to the globalists and power elites, I am sure it appears to be a disaster. They have shown for decades that they will do *anything* to retain their power. The prospect of lessening influence, or less likely, imprisonment, scares the hell out of them, and they will use every resource they have to prevent both of those outcomes.

Obama and the word disaster keep turning up in the same article quite often.

how hard Obama pushed to get the Olympics in Chicago...

Bingo! You just helped me understand why the Obama administration has been feeding so much scare-mongering to the MSM regarding the Zika virus, and ESPECIALLY to scare people away from attending the 2016 Summer Olympics!!

Obama wants to PUNISH the IOC and Rio de Janeiro, for having taken it away from them!

And by helping to guarantee this year's Rio Olympics takes a resounding financial loss, Chicago will stand a much better chance at winning over a future Olympics!


Another thought is that the GLOBALISTS intend to use a global Zika "disaster" (with the Olympic's visibility) to hype Democrat's goodwill to "spread our wealth" to all the less fortunate continents.



Only one mystery left... Why is the Obama administration trying to frighten Puerto Rico so badly?
[Freeper dsrtsage gave us a clue...] if a THIRD of the P.R. islanders stampede here before November that will be 1 MILLION more voters, with most of them voting for Hillary.

And I believe Freeper cll ...[that it's all bulls*it], because I've been to PR, and with so many billions of coqui frogs there, you almost NEVER see a mosquito!

The title says Brexit is a disaster. I don’t think it is a disaster. In fact, it sounds good for Great Britain.

Yes....why would NewsMax say it is a disaster? Quite odd.

Is that the actual title? It exhibits such bias that the article isn’t worth reading.

>We are not allowed to change any title. So, yes, that is the exact title of the article.

Of course, it's not a disaster to us here at FR. but for Obama and the Globalists, it certainly is a disaster.

I’m not criticizing you. I’m saying that the title exhibits an unacceptable bias by the author.

No offense taken.
The way I read it, the author is pointing out that the democratic MSM certainly would see it as a disaster, as well as Obama.

But the MSM is is being way way too quiet on the subject, so obviously, they are covering for him.

By contrast, if anything were to ever happen to Trump that was even 10% as devastating to him, the MSM would be ALL OVER IT.

I try to “buy American” consistently, but today I’m going to look around for a “buy British” shopping site.

Don’t buy Cadbury chocolates! They’ve gone all muzzie halal.

I may get a quart of Tanqueray gin, though.

US media will not criticize Obama because he is black.

The truth in 10 words.
