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.

Not surprising.
Biraq Insane 0bama hates the entire concept of independence.
“So it was ok for America but not for Scotland.” Perfect comment from the article.
Since about half the country did not vote I call it invalid.
I don’t understand why conservatives would be against Scottish independence. If you are a conservative Anglophile then the lack of Scottish liberal voters will ensure that Labor will never win another election in England.
Second, some historical perspective... Many of the dire predictions about the economic impact of Scottish independence were also made about what would happen to the American Colonies. The Colonies were a net cost to England, much as people claim Scotland is today. When faced with the hardships of newly found independence American industry thrived. Scotland will have a period of adjustment but, over time, they will find away. Ireland got their independence from England in the early 20th century and faced a difficult adjustment period but eventually made the adjustment.
Whats a special relationship?
D’oh! Our Reverse-Midas King strikes again.
One plea for Scots, if (when) you become independent, please please please vote to take King Obama with you .......
That sound you hear is all the leaders of the “no” movement committing seppuku.
Everything Chairman Zero touches burns to the ground. EVERYTHING.
I’m not a Scot (except by descent) or a Brit so I don’t really have a right to an opinion here but if Obama is against it...
That's it.
Obama has exhibited a remarkable penchant for inserting himself into matters that are none of his business, and remaining silent on things that are.
He can kiss my hairy white butt.
AWAY AND BOIL YER HEED FANNY BAWS!!!!!!

You posted “Being an ignorant, incompetent, and deluded egomaniac leads one to make such errors.”
You just described every white Obama voter that I know.
Black, Black Scottish or Black British 6,247 0.12%
Those 0.12 percent will really harken to the voice of the carter carbon copy.
none of our damn business -
Yes, but I think I should make it clear that I was describing our President and not in any way referring to the people of Scotland.
Surprised to see Obama in the imperialist’s side.
