Barack Obama tonight urged Scottish voters not to break apart ‘one of the closest allies we’ll ever have’ by voting for independence on Thursday. The dramatic intervention, just three days before Scotland goes to the polls, will infuriate Alex Salmond - with the battle for independence set to be decided by the smallest of margins. Up to half a million voters remain undecided - with concerns over the future of Scotland’s place in major international organisations like the EU, Nato and the UN still hotly debated.

Alabama wants in too..

[Mrs. Don-o]

Everything Chairman Zero touches turns to Detroit.

[Enlightened1]

Alabama, Arizona, Texas and Florida

[Mrs. Don-o]

"Gae Hame, ye Scoom!"

[southland]

Can I move to Texas if they leave Chairman Obama domain?

The Northeast and the Left Coast are lost causes.

That's Commie 'one size fits all' reasoning.

the common denominator is BIG CITIES - where the lib /Socialists herd together. (They are 'herd animals" - need propping up with other herd animals - no individualism.)

There's plenty of us Conservatives out here in the country side - don't flush us down the drain with the rest. (You'd throw us ALL out and keep Chicago, Austin, Houston, New Orleans, for examples?)

If you espouse in the Individual and individual freedoms, you should understand that the division is between the big cities and the country folk - instead of just parroting the worn out mantra re the "Northeast..." .

_{really so tired of the 'lumpers'}

I think you will see a lot of people move unless other States leave too.

Obama urges Scotland not to ruin America's 'special relationship'

That sounds sooo gay.

[vetvetdoug]

Now that I see what Obama wants, I think Scotland needs to go.

[Charles Martel]

Wow. This is worthy of the...

Queen Victoria Facepalm.

[rigelkentaurus]

so both Soros and O’loser are against Scot independence. It must be a good idea then.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I thought only arrogant cowboys like George W. Bush deigned to try and tell other countries their business.

[muir_redwoods]

Thalla!! Truis a-mach!!!

In the nicest possible sense of the terms, that is.

[morphing libertarian]

Made up my mind which way I’d vote.

[DesertRhino]

Its retarded to have the areas vote who do not propose to leave. That’s a decision solely for the people who may or may not want to depart. Unless of course you believe that people should be able to force others to remain with them.

[Alter Kaker]

Since about half the country did not vote I call it invalid.

The Confederacy was less than 1/3 the population of the USA, and their decision to not participate in the 1864 election was self imposed. But if they had participated they still would have lost.

[Jean2]

Consdering that Scotland is the farthest to the left of all the British Isles; I would think that Obama would encourage them to vote yes. At least he will be able to deal with a country that is run by fellow travelers.

[Vermont Lt]

I really dont have an opinion on the Scotland vote.

I do have an opinion of whether or not our President voices an opinion on an internal national matter of another country.

I know we do it all of the time. But I still don’t like it.

[Vermont Lt]

We need an independence vote here too.

We had one. It was the election of 1864. The Union won.

Can we take care of our Islamic enemies before we do a re-do on that one?

[Verginius Rufus]

Yes, any undecided Scottish voters are more likely to vote "Yes" after being told to vote "No" by Obama.

Obama might be in favor of Scottish independence if the uncrowned king of Scotland were still alive, but Idi Amin died in 2003.
