LONDON (AP) — London Mayor Boris Johnson, a leader of the campaign for Britain to leave the European Union, was facing strong criticism Friday for suggesting U.S. President Barack Obama may have an "ancestral dislike of the British Empire" because of his Kenyan roots.

On a visit to the U.K., Obama weighed in to Britain's debate about European Union membership, urging voters to back staying in the 28-nation bloc. The president wrote in the Daily Telegraph newspaper that the EU "enhances Britain's global leadership."

His intervention angered campaigners for a "leave" vote in the June 23 referendum, who accused the president of meddling.

Johnson said Obama's advice was "paradoxical, inconsistent, incoherent" because Americans "would never contemplate anything like the EU for themselves."

After all, Obama was born a British citizen, so he should have a say. Don't you agree?

This administration has been working hard contemplating just that.

Maybe the Queen should have weighed on the “Kenyan’s” eligibility to be President.

Aren’t we all proud that even minor foreign politicians have the freedom to insult our POTUS at will and for any reason? Gives me chills of pride up my spine.

The London mayor is wrong. Obama is part fruit caketard and part Frank Marshal Davis. Obama Sr was not his daddy.

“for suggesting U.S. President Barack Obama may have an “ancestral dislike of the British Empire” because of his Kenyan roots”

Anybody who has seen Dinesh D’Souzas’ “2016: Obama’s America” film knows that.

Upon taking office, didn’t Obama return to England the bust of Winston Churchill that was in the White House? He made his dislike known immediately, in a very low class way.

...........to the best of my recall, I don’t think Nigel Farage has ever said anything that I disagree with.

Nigel told Obama to “butt out” and Curt Schilling told perverts to “stay out of his daughters restroom”. Farage and Schilling Ror President/Vice President!!!

No sir, the British Empire is not special, Lord Foul hates all democracies that don't bend to his desire to bring about muslin domination.

Why is the United States interfering in another countries internal affairs. I don’t recall getting advice from the UK about NAFTA or the TPP.
