UK Leader: Brexit Got a Boost After Obama ‘Threatened’ Us

[sweetwater5s9]

Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party and one of the biggest pro-Brexit leaders in the country, said that President Obama‘s intervention to stop the Brexit actually helped it.

A few weeks ago, while Obama was in England, he said this during a press conference with Prime Minister David Cameron:

He said, “Threatening people too much actually insults their intelligence and the lesson from the Obama visit is even more fascinating.”

The lesson? This:

Obama and the democrats never were too bright anyway.

Yep, arrogant King Obama tried to dictate to the British people and they didn't like it!

That was t a threat that was the truth.  Our biggest trading partner is Germany and the EU.  We will put them before England.

No doubt Obama will carry through with his spiteful threat.  If there was free trade, Obama couldn't pick and choose.  The market would.

Obama’s intervention actually had the opposite effect he intended.

"Here’s the most powerful man in the world coming from a country that we’ve always had a huge high regard for… and a lot of people in Britain said, ‘How dare the American president come here and tell us what to do?’ And it backfired and I think we got an Obama Brexit bounce because people do not want foreign leaders telling them how to think and how to vote.”
