Newt even tweeted about that story today.

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]

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!!

It was a victory for the Rights of Man.

US Media Ignores Obama's Role in Brexit Disaster

I don't believe Britain's departure from the EU is a disaster for either the people of Britain or for the people of the rest of Europe, who will likely also vote to end their membership in that bloated statist fantasy within the next few years. As for Obama, his ham-fisted attempt to meddle in Britain's decisions and frighten British voters backfired, so his contribution was positive, though not in the way he intended.

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.

Obama’s Brexit overreach is typical of his arrogance;

The British politicians counting on his endorsement don’t understand the resentment he can cause

LOL!!

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.

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

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

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

US media will not criticize Obama because he is black.

The truth in 10 words.

Trump needs to go here, immediately => bilateral trade deal with Britian!)

Barack Obama’s White House Hate The United Kingdom?
By NIGEL FARAGE MEP
6 Nov 2015

Ever since President Obama’s first day when he removed the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office I have wondered: Just how anti-British is Obama?

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico illustrated his contempt for our country with his repeated references and heavy emphasis to British Petroleum. But he’s gone one better this week. His Trade Envoy Michael Froman said, and was endlessly quoted by the BBC, that the USA would not seek a bilateral trade deal with the UK if we left the European Union (EU).

This is all bizarre. The USA has a trade deal with Oman, so why on Earth would it not want one with its greatest friend in the world?

It is clear that Obama supports supranational government and the new global order. And I must congratulate Breitbart London for exposing the fact that both Froman and his wife had previously worked for the European Commission.

Jeb Bush has provided the first counter-punch by making it clear that of course America would favour such a trade deal if the UK were to leave the EU.

(...)
