Obama infuriates the Brits as he threatens to send UK 'to the back of the queue' if they vote to leave the European Union

DAILY MAIL COMMENT: This President is last man we should heed

"Mr Obama’s grasp of history is shaky, too, if he believes the EU can take credit for seven decades of relative peace."

Barack Obama has every right to say he thinks it’s in America’s best interests for Britain to remain in the EU, if that is what he believes. But he has no business to come here and preach that submission to Brussels is good for the people of the UK

"The tone was patronising, the language menacing – and the message not only hypocritical but, frankly, insulting.

"Certainly, Barack Obama has every right to say he thinks it’s in America’s best interests for Britain to remain in the EU, if that is what he believes.

"But he has no business to come here and preach that submission to Brussels is good for the people of the UK." . . .


"By arguing that a Britain outside the EU would be at the ‘back of the queue’ for a trade deal, to Number 10’s delight, Mr Obama displayed contempt for voters and left little doubt that he sees the special relationship as a one-way street.

"Has he forgotten he leads a nation founded to proclaim independence from overseas control, whose citizens died for the right to make their own laws?


Which brings us to Mr Obama’s own sorry record as Commander-in-Chief and architect of America’s foreign policy.This is the man who made way for the rise of IS by his reckless withdrawal from Iraq. He has failed even to honour his pledge to close Guantanamo Bay. And his chief foreign policy ‘success’ has been a deal with terrorist-sponsoring Iran.
Obama's amazing THREAT to Britain: UK would be at the 'back of the queue' after Brexit

"Obama threatens the British if they dare vote for Brexit, with trade. So much for special relationship."
