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.

"Obama has shown his hatred for the British from day 1 of his occupation of our WH. It’s embarrassing as all Hell

I think we'll be seeing a lot of the obama caricature in future British comedies. The British are very good at satire.

Any trade deal with Obama is a trade deal with the Globalists England just kicked out. They called your bluff Obama. The magic never was there now was it ?

Clinton’s response was tepid. She plays smallball.

I hope the queen did what anyone who had access would have done. Gave them to her Grandson to strap on a missile he then sent up a terrorists ass.

I listened closely to the results as they came in last night... It was such a relief when 'Leave' gained an insurmountable lead. It made me very happy and apparently it made Obama and Hillary very sad.

“Obama Exit in 7 Months”

Something to cheer us up.

[Jumper]

There is US Embassy in London and Obama is saying that they will not be working or engaging in their primary misison of diplomacy... Maybe Obama should just close the Embassy! As a retired DoS Information Management Specialist (Hillary should be in jail), I can tell you that there is no reason for a Nation to be “under represented diplomatically, unless our President commands it”.

[Crucial]

This President is a sore loser and a bully.

[luvie]

I hate obama.

[Mount Athos]

counting the hours til obama is gone.

“Obama urged Britain to remain in the EU when he visited London in April and warned....”

He administrates foreign and economic policy so well here he just can’t stop himself from advising other countries

and warned that a trade agreement between the two countries would not happen anytime soon if Britain left the bloc.

Is January 2016 considered sometime "soon?"

[boycott]

Who cares what that assmonkey thinks? He won’t be there much longer anyway.

[Dog]

Who cares...u should he is damaging the office.

[Dog]

As someone posted above ...Obama is doubling down on stupid.

[OKSooner]

Are you saying the President acted stupidly?

[OKSooner]
