Obama urges Scotland not to ruin America's 'special relationship'..by voting for independence
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 15, 2014 | Tom McTague

Barack Obama tonight urged Scottish voters not to break apart ‘one of the closest allies we’ll ever have’ by voting for independence on Thursday. The dramatic intervention, just three days before Scotland goes to the polls, will infuriate Alex Salmond - with the battle for independence set to be decided by the smallest of margins. Up to half a million voters remain undecided - with concerns over the future of Scotland’s place in major international organisations like the EU, Nato and the UN still hotly debated.

Obama could not help himself and keep his mouth shut. This is a purely internal issue for the United Kingdom. Given Zero's track record he might of secured a Yes vote.

He’s already ruined the special relationship we had with GB.

Well, that tipped the vote. He is such an egotistical dick.

In fact, I wonder if he has even progressed from the Id to the Ego.

Roger that. The Northeast and the Left Coast are lost causes. We should separate, and let them descend into the third world cesspool they desire.

I wonder if this is some kubaki theater on Obama’s part tell the Scots to vote No but knowing how they would react increase the Yes vote. But Obama is so an egomaniac I doubt he can’t think like that.

He has virtually doomed any and all hope by the Westminster campaign now. Bravo, Mr Obama. You finally got your revenge on the people who justly gave your grandfather a beating.

Obama continues to labor under the misapprehension that anyone, anywhere on Planet Earth, gives a rat’s *ss what he has to say about anything.

Being an ignorant, incompetent, and deluded egomaniac leads one to make such errors.

The vote is Thursday. I imagine this may inspire Texas and many other States (Oklahoma, Kansas, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina) to leave the Union.

Does Obama have a bust of Mary, Queen of Scots, to send back to Scotland if they secede?

Does anyone see the irony of America telling another colony not to declare independence from England?

“He’s already ruined the special relationship we had with GB.”

Yep, since when has he given a crap about the UK? It’s well documented that he AND hid daddy (who taught him) dispise the UK.

We had one. It was the election of 1864. The Union won.
