Most of Europe, not just the British, is fed up with being instructed what to do by an overpaid and untaxed cadre of know it all mandarins in Brussels and Strasbourg. Telling the British how to measure and charge for beer, the French how to make cheese, and the Germans how to make sausages, has been a running joke and sore for decades. Even those at the shallow work ethic end of the money pool, receiving benefits at the expense of their "rich" neighbors' taxpayers, such as Greece, Spain, etc. bridle at Brussels' dictates.

But in Britain's case you have a nation which has always felt itself aloof and distinct from, and threatened by, Europe. Since the British also have an underlying resentment of American hubris (overpaid, oversexed, and over here) Obama's ham handed remarks (is he capable of any other kind?) may just be the kick to the hornets' nest needed to push Brexit into a majority.

I agree. But the best solution is to follow Churchill’s advice from post #19.
