Reporter to Obama: Is It Any of Your Business Whether Britain Stays in E.U.? Jack Heretik

BY: April 22, 2016 2:13 pm

During a joint press conference in London with President Barack Obama and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday, a reporter with the BBC asked President Obama if it was any of his business to say whether or not the U.K. should remain in the European Union.

The UK will be holding a referendum in June as to whether they should leave the E.U. The U.K. still retains its own currency, but is still subject to many other laws and has representatives in the European Parliament.

President Obama is a supporter of the U.K. remaining in the E.U., as is Cameron, and has drawn controversy from people in the U.K. and the U.S. for weighing in.

“Thank you, Mr. President. You’ve made your views very plain on the fact that British voters should choose to stay in the E.U. But in the interest of good friends always being honest, are you also saying that our decades-old special relationship, that’s been through so much, would be fundamentally damaged and changed by our exit? If so, how? And are you also, do you have any sympathy with people who think this is none of your business?” the reporter asked.

“And Prime Minister, to you, if I may, some of your colleagues believe it’s utterly wrong that you have dragged our closest ally in the E.U. referendum campaign, what do you say to them?” the reporter asked. “And is it appropriate for the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, to have brought up President Obama’s Kenyan ancestry in the context of this debate?”

Wasn’t Barack’s drunken, bigamist father associated tangentially with the Mau Maus?

I seem to recall there was some kind of connection.

I think he’s lying again. He gave back the bust of Churchill and I believe it is now in the British Embassy in DC. I WOULD say maybe he feels a little guilty and is trying to curry favor, but we all know that narcissists feel no guilt anywhere in their personalities, so I suspect he is trying to pretend he cares about Britain (another lie, as we know he hates Britain for it’s ‘imperialistic past’). I remember when BOR asked Obama (a few years ago) “why do you think some people hate you?” and Obama said “oh, I don’t think anyone hates me”....and I was thinking ‘yeah, narcissists believe everyone loves them and loves everything they say or do’. What a trial this country has endured for nearly 8 years!

Don’t call him a lame duck, yet. He still has lots of time to do more damage to this country.

"And are you also, do you have any sympathy with people who think this is none of your business?”

That's no way to talk to The One who is the smartest one in the room.

As soon as he mentioned that bust I remember he had given it back , but then thought maybe he had another one lying around as not even he could lie that much in front of the Prime Minister who was right next to him.

The he mentioned the staffer, but would not name the woman, I think another B/S story from him as he never had an answer.

“Obama’s paternal grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama worked as a cook for a British army officer when he became involved with the Kenyan independence movement. Grandpa Obama was arrested in 1949 as a sympathizer for the Kikuyu Central Association, the organization that ultimately spawned the Mau Mau. There is no question that the Kenyan penal system of that era was a violent place; mere imprisonment was not considered sufficiently punitive; torture was ubiquitous.

“Grandpa Hussein’s wife tells of horrific torture of her husband at the hands of the Brits. Some of her recollections are questionable however: one scene of hell on earth she describes is actually a pretty good description of the process of delousing.

“There is also no question that if Hussein was arrested for subversive activities, he was up to something more than just being a good community organizer. He certainly would have been subject to some enhanced interrogation.

“The left wants to paint the Mau Mau as yet another misunderstood group of oppressed victims. The truth is, the Mau Maus were vicious guerrilla fighters. Contrary to popular folklore, the Mau Mau slaughtered far more Kikuyu citizens than the whites they were supposedly rebelling against.”

I saw part of this “news conference.” Vintage Obama. Answer any question with a ten minutes incoherent, rambling discourse on another subject. Glad to see the Brit reporters shaming the drooling US press.

The American woman from the press asked about bathroom, and frigging Prince who died.

Good grief

Yes, he DID give back the bust of Churchill.

I recently picked up a magazine special on the White House.

Fascinating read for everyone.

One of the pictures shows that Obama replaced the Churchill bust with a MLK one.

Sure that's OK, as Presidents have always decorated to their own tastes.

RETURNING the Churchill bust to England was an insult, though.

Obama could have simply put it into storage.

I9t was what I thought about that bust, but then he did go on and say how he as an African American put MLK there.

It seems dear leader lied and will the media here report on this, hell no.

The American press woman was next asking a question and it was about bathrooms, and Prince dying, seriously this is what our media is about today.

Since 2007 the media has been way in the tank for this idiot and yet they still have not woken up.
