President Barack Obama stands by his comment that Britain would move to the back of the queue when it comes to trade deals with the United States if it left the European Union, the White House said on Friday.

"Obviously, the president stands by what he said and I don't have an update of our position," White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters at a briefing.

Obama urged Britain to remain in the EU when he visited London in April and warned that a trade agreement between the two countries would not happen anytime soon if Britain left the bloc.

The Demagogue doubles down.

Obama might po MI6, and they might release some of the stuff they have on him and the Clintoons. If he keeps telling the Brits what to do.

[Grampa Dave]

IWe can't wait till he is gone and President Trump undoes 90% of what he’s done, in minutes after President Trump is sworn in.

[Grampa Dave]

bumping the future good exits!

[Grampa Dave]

Amen! "A number here should recall a very comprehensive multi page document on Obama with numerous facts prior to his first being elected. The facts on Obama were so anti American and showed he had lied so much about everything that no one should be surprised what has happened over these past 7 plus years. I look back at that and then what we saw here with Cruz for a long time, and; I ask myself-”When will Americans learn?” I believe our founding fathers had good reason for the way they defined natural born years ago. These so called changes for those born after x date make no damn sense to me. Look at the number of anchor babies just in the past 7 plus years. We have no control over who comes and goes into this country now. How foolish."

Total DHimmwit.

His needlessly nasty and condescending “uhhh back of the queue" remark shows shows what a prick he is.

[TonyM]

Seven months this administration will be history. I think President Trump will make trade decisions based on what is best for Americans, and not use it to get even with someone who made him look foolish.

Actually Odumbo will be moving to the back of the line. His arrogance is his undoing. world leaders will snub him more and more as his days grew less in office. The world leaders will turn on the SOB. odumbo will be a falsh in the pan as the world now sees through the thin skinned arrogant Jack Ass that he truly is. The pResidential Library in Chicago will be gone too, Oumbo will be a former pResident with nothing but remorse!

The man is a FOOL if he thinks Britain gives a fecal movement about his lame threats!

Our first task has to be to make sure that the economic uncertainty created by these events does not hurt working families here in America.

'cause we Libs will still feed, house, clothe and day care those that AIN'T working!!

[Elsie]

Come November, the American people will have the chance to re-declare their independence.

[Elsie]

yes, thanks, but Hillary’s statement does not reference the “front of the line” vs. “back of the line” crucial issue on trade deals.

LINE?

O so badly wanted to say... BUS!!!

To replace the Churchill bust, Britain should send the Obama’s two busts of Nelson and Winnie Mandela with two flaming tire necklaces around the necks.

Our next President, Donald Trump, thanks you.

One of Zero's former economic advisors -- what a group of losers, eh? -- was on a couple Fox biz segments, still spinning, still regurgitating talking points about Zero's "back of the line" comment.

In July of 2008 he said he would be POTUS for “the next 8 to 10 years”, so that’s a very good question...

[VerySadAmerican]

Silly me. I thought treaties, including trade treaties, were approved by the senate. I guess I missed it when the constitution was changed giving that power to the president.
