President Barack Obama told Britain today that it would have to 'go to the back of the queue' if it leaves the European Union, then tries to negotiate its own trade deal with the United States.
A US-UK trade agreement is not going to happen 'any time soon,' Obama said during a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
‘Not because we don’t have a special relationship but because given the heavy lift on any trade agreement, us having access to a big market with a lot of countries rather than trying to do piecemeal trade agreements, which is hugely inefficient,' the U.S. leader said.
Obama faced a furious backlash overseas this morning over what has been called a 'downright hypocritical' push for Britain to stay in the European Union.
In a highly controversial intervention in the EU referendum campaign, Obama pleaded with British voters in a local newspaper and then the press conference not to cut ties with Brussels.
'The United States wants a strong United Kingdom as a partner, and the United Kingdom is at its best when it is helping to lead a strong Europe,' Obama said during a news conference at Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
In his op-ed Obama also invoked the spirit of the Second World War by claiming the sacrifice of GIs meant America has a stake in the EU debate and said the decision in June's referendum 'will echo in the prospects of today's generation of Americans as well'.

For some reason it won’t share on my Facebook page.........hmmmmmmmmmm...................
See post #11................
by the way I didn’t create the name but I was the inspiration for the Church of the dwindling days.
Thank You, it needs to go faster!!!
How can anyone be this inept?
Worry not England—President Trump will reverse anything the man does. Get ready to send back the Churchill bust Obama took from the Oval Office. Nationalism always trumps internationalism EU was a socialist dream but—it was a dream—a fantasy—that just couldn’t work.
Translation: We saved your ass from Hitler so I OWN you!
From the article: In his op-ed Obama also invoked the spirit of the Second World War by claiming the sacrifice of GIs meant America has a stake in the EU debate.
I have deep reservations that those who actually made the sacrifice would appreciate O using that fact as a bargining chip in expanding his world view. All white or even half white, it wasn't his place to do that in this context.
I know where your coming from....but don’t want to be zotted, so cleaned up my fingers today...I agree with you!!!
I would offer to the UK they tell the conceited prick to take his Chicago thug act, and stick it where the Sun doesn’t shine.
Disgraceful.
Every good globalist will want the UK to remain in the EU. And every good globalist will be in favor of open borders, and also TPA and TPP and all the other trade agreements in the pipeline.
Damned 0bamaNagger...
The laundry list of bad things I wish upon this piece of scum has no end.
“back of the queue’”
Queue.....
Sounds like Downing Street wrote somebody’s Speech for him.
The GOPe do-nothings will roll over and arse end up for 0bamao and give him anything he wants for another 270+ days. The same GOPe establishment that is gung-ho over Teddy the messiah.
And, WTH is 0bamao doing interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation, anyway?
Gotta give him this: he’s ambitious.
He’s thoroughly f***ed up the United States, now he wants to thoroughly f*** up Great Britain, too.
Ping......
“Obama has a grudge against the Brits for their abuse of his grandfather,”
When 0b0z0 soiled our house in ‘09, he ordered Churchill’s bust removed from the Oval Office AND the WH and returned to the British embassy.
Today, not even as a response to a question, he opened the subject and said (lied?) that the bust is in front of his second floor office and that he can see it in the weekend when he goes in to watch a basketball game!
He said that the reason he had it removed from the Oval Office is to make room for MLK’s instead and that you can’t have more items because of CLUTTERING!
What an insult to show his hatred for the Brits! If I were them, I would leak his true birth certificate and/or his real sealed history.
