President Obama looks set to wade into the contentious debate in the United Kingdom over whether or not the nation should remain a member of the European Union – and some Brits are angry at the president’s intrusion into a delicate UK issue ahead of a major vote.
Obama will arrive in London late Thursday for a three-day trip. On Friday he will meet Prime Minister David Cameron -- who is reportedly keen to get Obama’s backing ahead of the June 23 referendum, in which Britons will choose to remain or leave the European Union.
Cameron is in a difficult position, backing the “Remain” campaign, while many within his own Conservative Party are campaigning for the “Leave” or “Brexit” (British-Exit) campaign. Polls have shows the race is tight, with the Remain campaign holding an edge as small as one percent.
The White House has said Obama is willing to offer his opinion and may announce that he favors Cameron's position – that Britain should remain in the European Union.
"If he's asked his view as a friend, he will offer it," U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said. "As the president has said, we support a strong United Kingdom in the European Union."
Those calling for Britain to leave the European Union are not happy at that news, with U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage saying Obama should stay home.

“You wouldn’t expect the British Prime Minister to intervene in your presidential election, you wouldn’t expect the Prime Minister to endorse one candidate or another. Perhaps he’s another one of those people who doesn’t understand what [the EU] is,” Farage said......................Zero thinks he's king of the world!
Obama has no shame.
Good, I see him having about as much success as when he lobbied for Chicago to get the Olympics
Is this the same England that just debated blocking Trump from entry? The same England that coordinated the Clinton and Blair campaigns?
THAT England?
Second of all, they don’t need to worry. No matter what the vote is, it won’t be followed. That was the case with entry into the EU. It was voted on again and again till the got the result they needed.
He’s such a narcissist.
Stay out of it, you Kenyan, homo, bastard.
That’s what I was thinking. They can vote Brexit, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to get Brexit.
Maybe Netenyahu can weigh in too.
It’s only been a matter of time until our allies realized that the man who dares tell leaders of other nations to step down on a regular basis would interfere in their own sovereign affairs, too.
It will be a wonder if we have any friends left in this world by the time this man leaves office.
Sometimes I think it will be a wonder if we are left in this world.
He's just following his Master's (Satan via Soros) instructions. Big payout at the end for assisting the worldwide caliphate and Satan's son's rise to power.
He’s trying to set himself up as the heir presumptive to the World Throne.
I’m hoping it pushes people to vote for the exit. Govt is best when it is local.
Lol, he’s just going to flip it to Brexit by supporting Remain
Does ANYONE believe that zero will wait to be asked?
LOL
Øbama knows best for everyone...
I agree with “homo” and “bastard”...but what his race/nationality could be is up for grabs. Hoping once his sorry ass is out of office, it all comes out.
”...but what his race/nationality could be is up for grabs..
Your possibly right, he may be the spawn of Frank Marshall Davis as Obama’s mother was a slutty skank and liked to sleep with Marxists and Muslims.
It’s the reverse Midas Touch. In French I suppose it’d be called the “Merde’s Touch”, since everything this bastard touches turns to s#!+.
Let’s hope so.
Obama, no longer satisfied with fundamentally changing America, now he must change the people who made clean water and sanitation possible in Kenya, and gave longer lives to its native population!
What an ingrate!
