President Barack Obama told Britain today that it would have to 'go to the back of the queue' if it leaves the European Union, then tries to negotiate its own trade deal with the United States.
A US-UK trade agreement is not going to happen 'any time soon,' Obama said during a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
‘Not because we don’t have a special relationship but because given the heavy lift on any trade agreement, us having access to a big market with a lot of countries rather than trying to do piecemeal trade agreements, which is hugely inefficient,' the U.S. leader said.
Obama faced a furious backlash overseas this morning over what has been called a 'downright hypocritical' push for Britain to stay in the European Union.
In a highly controversial intervention in the EU referendum campaign, Obama pleaded with British voters in a local newspaper and then the press conference not to cut ties with Brussels.
'The United States wants a strong United Kingdom as a partner, and the United Kingdom is at its best when it is helping to lead a strong Europe,' Obama said during a news conference at Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
In his op-ed Obama also invoked the spirit of the Second World War by claiming the sacrifice of GIs meant America has a stake in the EU debate and said the decision in June's referendum 'will echo in the prospects of today's generation of Americans as well'.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“Again corroborating that Barack Obama has never known a normal person, his grandfather’s support for the Mau Mau was sufficient to get himself arrested. The struggle for independence from the Brits may have been a noble one, but not justification for the kind of depravity indulged by the Mau Mau. Longtime nationalist leader and Mau Mau manager, Jomo Kenyatta studied economics in Moscow in 1932. We are not supposed to make too much of that.
“Obama has a grudge against the Brits for their abuse of his grandfather, a subversive who supported a bunch of ferocious guerillas. And as always with Obama, rather than deal with his own inner demons, he uses his position of power to act out. Another campaign promise kept: Obama is most assuredly changing the world’s view of America. Perhaps Obama is saving up all the really cool gifts for Ahmedinejad.”

Dear UK,
Invade us again, please.
We will gladly give you Dorkbama the Muslim to do ANYTHING you want with him...er, rather, it.
0 is against it, so I am for it.
They need to realize that Obama only had “half-white privilege.”
After Obama leaves office, our only friend will be Iran. And that will only be in Obama’s imagination.
Well, here’s the Obama Gone Clock! 272 days and change! Just pray he can’t do very much damage in the time he has left.
Don’t worry UK, the 8 year embarrassment that is this arse hat is almost over.
Eff Obama. He’s gone in January, God willing.

Separation from the EU is a two-year process meaning Britain would still benefit from European treaties and agreements well beyond the end of Obama’s term in office. This is an empty threat.
Is there any doubt about his malignant psychosis?
That op-ed probably just cemented every Brits’ mind to vote for leaving the EU!......................
