Obama under fire as he threatens to send Britain 'to the back of the queue' if it votes to leave
Daily Mail ^ | 4/22/16

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'.

Well, yeah, my thought was they might want to talk to Trump. Trump would be happy to make a trade deal with them, and a very generous one, with no BS, I might add.

Is he smart enough to be using reverse psychology to TRY to get the Brits to Brexit?

What an insult to show his hatred for the British! If I were the British Embassy I would leak Barack Hussein Obama's true birth certificate and/or his real sealed history.

Maybe the Secret Service or CIA will get so ticked off with Obama, they will leak his birth certificate.

Unfortunately, the Magic 8-Ball predicts Obama's replacement by Hillary! due to GOP-E incompetence (or collaboration, a little cloudy there...)

Sorry Barky...its more than likely that Britain would be first in line for a bilateral trade deal with President Trump.

From the article: “...Obama is most assuredly changing the world’s view of America.”

I will never forget, as long as I live, the absolutely sick and degenerate manner in which “the world” kissed Hussein’s ass with wet sloppy kisses during the run-up to his first election. From one end of Europe and America to the other, the thronging crowds, the rock concert stadiums, the swooning females, the phony greek columns, the illegitimate Nobel Prize, children and adults singing songs about his “wonderfulness”, the lowering of the seas and the healing of the earth, and all other various and sundry gross pretentions and insanity. Not a single country went unrepresented in the Hussein ass-kissing frenzy. And this country, most of all, had lost our collective minds in voting for this malignant turd as Preezy of the United Steezy. I keep this in mind as I have witnessed the utter collapse and total chaos that the monster Hussein has unleashed on the “world”. The British, as with all other Euro dipshitz, have no beef or complaint with what has unfolded since the “Immaculation”. The terror and horror we see happening to us all before our eyes is simple justice, straight and true.

He’s pissed at UK for wanting to regain the power to restrict Mooselimb immigration by leaving the EU. Mebbe he has UK collapsing first in the office pool.

Or its like Pahkeestahn, when in London you have to say ‘queue’ to him? I can imagine the hours of meetings and email conversations over whether to say ‘queue’ or ‘line’.

I’d like to apologize to the UK on his behalf. Is there anything he doesn’t keep his nose out of?!?

UK was smart not to adopt the euro for their currency. They would be smarter still to get out of the European Union so they didn’t have to accept the EU’s no borders policy to mass migrations. It wouldn’t bother me a bit to take some time crossing borders.
