Obama Slammed as 'Perverse' by London Mayor over 'Brexit'

LONDON — President Barack Obama faced a furious backlash on his visit to the U.K. Friday, accused of hypocrisy by lawmakers — including the mayor of London — after intervening in Britain's national referendum on the European Union.

The president was accused of an "incoherent" and "perverse" intervention in the country's acrimonious debate after urging British voters to remain in the political bloc.

Mayor Boris Johnson, who is also the leader of the anti-EU campaign, also speculated that "part-Kenyan" Obama was expressing an "ancestral dislike of the British empire."

Britons will vote in a June 23 referendum on whether to remain in the EU or leave. The so-called Brexit debate has divided the country (PDF) and its political establishment.

Obie From Nairobi speaks! I can see Johnson's reservations about placing Great Britain's foreign policy in the hands of the Bat-eared Kenyan Klown, but they could do worse. Idi Amin, maybe.

This is, after all, the genius behind the back-stabbing of Gadaffi ("back" being an euphemism for where he really got the stabber), the betrayal of Mubarak, the ongoing attempt to overthrow Assad, the butchery at Benghazi, the drone assassinations from Yemen to Kabul, the retreat from Iraq, the whimpering surrender to Iran's mullahs, and so on, and so on...yeah, this would be the guy I'd love to have running my foreign policy. Oh, yeah, come to think of it, he is.

Naturally as a disinterested, objective observer I have refrained from coming to any firm conclusions about this ignorant, arrogant, malignant, feckless, clumsy, misinformed, treacherous, incompetent simulacrum of a snot-nosed, crappy-diapered brat entrusted with the keys to Daddy's tank, but I hope to real soon now...

Obama’s perceptions about British colonialism and specifically their treatment of his father and grandfather have colored his judgement regarding our closest ally.
This was the reason he sent back the Churchill bust.

Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British Subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.

The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
