As your friend, let me say that the EU makes Britain even greater

By Barack Obama, President of the United States - In 1939, President Franklin D Roosevelt offered a toast to King George VI in the White House. “I am persuaded that the greatest single contribution our two countries have been enabled to make to civilisation, and to the welfare of peoples throughout the world,” he said, “is the example we have jointly set by our manner of conducting relations between our two nations.” Read full article

    At least Mr Obama was frank: not saying it from behind closed doors. Perhaps some would rather he said it from America, instead of saying it to our faces.
    The interests of both the UK and the United States do coincide in several areas; and staying in or staying out of the EU affects us both. If we stay in, there will be Changes because of the shifts in public and political opinion that has and is taking place.
    I'm not displeased that Mr Obama says what he sees, at it is- and he said it from the position of his advisors too. Whether one likes the President is neither here nor there.

    It needs a judgement of Solomon to sort this out. It appears we are damned if we stay in and damned if we leave ! We are continually told that we should stay in and effect change from the inside. It doesn't seem to have worked so far.
    We are easily outvoted if we do not like the legislation which affects us adversely .
    I am ambivalent on the subject of the “Brexit”and do not feel much in common with some of the newer members in East Europe. However, it has kept a peace between members instead of vying for power and domination.
    At my age it doesn't really matter too much but it is the younger generation who will have to live with the consequences.

    Did anyone here watch Obama's press conference? All of it? I did. He didn't threaten anyone at all. He made an honest statement that if the UK were looking for trade deals they would not take priority over the EU. Quite right. A smaller trading partner would not have the same clout. That is all he said about it. He went on to say it would not affect the cultural links and information sharing that is the reality of our 'special relationship'.

    Obama was asked to comment and he did.

    Well the American Presidents have done so well in the past. They sat on the fence during the last world war and since have done exceedingly well in the Middle East and Asia. You only have to look at Iraq, Afganistan, Libya, Syria, Egypt, and lets not forget Vietnam, all thriving communities now. Obama f**ck off and sort your ever growing gun problem out in the US and leave us alone. His speech did not do himself any favours all he did was make the UK say ” we will do what is best for the UK, can you imagine the US giving away their sovereignty, don't think so. How about the US and their common market Cuba and Mexico.We should leave the EU and stuff the USA.

    If one thinks the UK is insignificant on the world block now, just wait until they are a trading bloc of what, 63 million versus the EU at 508 million? But go ahead, cut off your nose to spite your face, no one cares....really at the end of the day, no one does care. Afterall, you won WWII and are the best society on earth.

    I was very optimistic when Obama was elected president that things were moving forward in the American way of looking at society, then I read his history.

    The first thing he did about 'the special relationship' was to remove the statue of Churchill from the Whitehouse, not sideline it, remove it.

    Then his spokesperson, in response to a question by a UK reporter about this action and the special relationship, said it was time that the UK grew up and dealt with the new reality!

    Now we have Camoron getting his 'buddy' Obuma (because that is what he has turned out to be) to travel to the UK to threaten us about being 'the back of the queue' in trade deals.

    Threats don't need to be shouted to be threats and I have read the actual words and I have no doubt this disgraceful president DID threaten the UK in an attempt to ensure Remain wins the vote and that is unforgivable of a 'friend'.

    Still, he will be gone in January and I really hope that Trump gets it, that will heal the obvious cracks in the special relationship in double quick time as well as put the two faced establishment where they belong: doing what they are supposed to do and support America, not line their own pockets.

    The American Banks are already clamouring to have the restrictions on who they can lend to, imposed to stop them defrauding lenders and foreclosing on mortgages which caused the last world financial crisis, removed. These people just don't give a damn as long as they can bloat their own bonuses for creating 'profits'. We saw how viable their profits were: NOT.

    A very measured and thought out response to Brexit. If people are to make an informed choice then listening to many different opinions is the right way to go.

    As for Dany.... oh how we haven't missed your intelligence (LOL) on his logic of UK's importance. First off, he just supported the notion that every Latin American country, bar 2, are unimportant in the world economy. Yeah didn't think that logic out very well now did you Dany.

    Also Dany if you are going to quote the EU population after Brexit, then at least deduct the UK's population you idiot. 507 million.... down to 443 million.

    While the UK's population will continue to grow, the EU's is forecast to shrink.

    But if the EU doesn't want to deal with the world's 4th largest non-EU economy.... then so be it.

    However the fact that it has been trying to cut a deal with Mercosur for the last 2 decades when Mercosur's economy isn't bigger than the UK's.... yeah didn't think that one out too well now did you Dany.

    Today, Republican, Donald Trump resonates with the people by identifying “others” who should be shunned and expelled - Mexicans and Muslims.

    ,Well people from what I have read and listened to,
    I conclude the following,
    1, Europe has never had a trade deal with the EU,
    They are trying to get one, very very slowly and getting nowhere,
    TTIP is getting in the way, [the private secret deal between the EU and the USA that we are not allowed to see,
    Trade= exchange of goods, we have been trading with Europe and the USA and the world for over 2,000 years some for as little time as 200 years, but trade will continue ,

    2, the 5 president’s agreement formatting the unification of a united states of Europe is already being played out, with Britain marginalised to one side, if we REMAIN, we will eventually be a part of something we have no say unless we join this unification, Osborn’s own words last year.

    America’s interests are for the Americans, Europe’s interests are for Europeans, and Britain’s interest is ours,
    What the presidents fails to see, and Clinton, or its anti-British stance, that some say does not exist,
    But when calling for help, back up and support the British stand side by side,
    But by remaining IN it will eventually be Europe’s decision , as the British military just won’t exist and will be assimilated into a Euro force,
    The question is then, will a united Europe put America’s interests before theirs, will a Europe support and send troops to fight at Americas behest,
    Vote to leave, and it will be a British decision full stop.

    its just an opinion, so you can laugh or cry but its interesting, ?

    Like Trump and Cruz and the Koch Bros. he will use defamation of character, racial and ethnic discrimination, fear-mongering, and outright lies to manipulate and intimidate rivals, in order to suppress their rights and legitimate aspirations.

    57. Please keep him. We don't want him either.
    My greatest fear is he's going to be prancing around the world meddling where he's not wanted. Just like Carter has done for 40 years. Another pissed off, bitter, failed Prez.

    Interesting YouGov poll came out today, the first since the US president's intervention:

    Leave: 42% (+2 since previous poll 2 weeks ago)
    Remain: 41% (+1)
    Undecided: 13% (-3)

    Loving the “Obama Effect” so far, he should come round more often!

    What are you talking about ! You already know what every British voter will do?
    Do you think it will be 100% either way. People's lives and that of their children will be irrevocably changed...maybe for the better, maybe for the worse.
    I see you have used the name of an American comedian...an apt choice.
