Obama

In short, you are all RWNJs
Haha!

By Bluemoon standards, quite possibly! However, as a Manc living in Blue Chicago, I like to think I am not nearly the RWNJ that I see in many of my peers at work, many of whom would turn the Middle East to glass and shove one up Putin's arse!
 
Having the freedom of speech is obviously a great thing. I'm not disputing Obama should be allowed or not to say what he did... I'm saying he shouldn't have. With the freedom of speech comes a responsibility.

Come off it Obama has seen a steady decrease in our "special relationship" and Trump, whilst being a complete prat is better news for us than Clinton and Obama.

It's mostly in the way he did. It was a threat and a direct threat to a vote that he shouldn't be influencing.

I've not commented on him generally. I'm just talking about me personally hating the fact he threatened me at the time of the referendum, regardless of which way I voted.
You are right, there were no "threats" from any side in the Brexit vote! :-)

Obama was simply laying out what post-Brexit Britain might look like, because much as we would all like to think of Britain as a big swinging dick in the world, once you separate it from the EU, it looks like a much smaller fish in a very big ocean. The pivot to Asia was real, and Europe, while certainly an important trading bloc, is not nearly as important as Asia...and Britain alone is considerably less so.

If it is pointing out reality, can it really be considered a threat?

Facts are the new propaganda.

But Obama is a foreign president so he shouldn't be making threats, I hope I've made myself clear with that.

If both Remain and Leave campaigns want to make threats then that's fair as it's their country they were discussing.

What he also said was inaccurate. We were never going to be back of the queue as there's many countries the US has zero relationship with.

He acted like a **** because of the above.
 
Sometimes, there is a special kind of stupid displayed here.

Maybe it is a Christmas gift to help our younger readers see the upside of getting an education? I can only hope so.

Perhaps you could help educate them further by explaining why he as a foreign national blatantly stuck his beak in another nations referendum, yet when when his favoured candidate in his own nations election gets thoroughly humped and among the excuses for this is the possibility that Putin may have thrown a bit of support Trumps way he sees his arse?
