Obama says UK in the EU is in American national interest

Barack Obama and American officials have warned that the UK remaining in the EU is in America's national interest and that if we leave we would be seen as weaker.

The Americans have taken this stance for purely selfish reasons.  They like having a poodle to do their bidding in the EU which is still, despite the best efforts of the economic incompetents in charge, one of the main competitors to the US.  The UK outside of the EU would be a significant challenger to the US, particularly with the Commonwealth Free Trade Area that UKIP proposes.  The EU without the UK bailing it out would be much poorer and unable to buy as much American tat and don't forget that this is a socialist president supporting the socialist EU empire.

You have to admire the Americans for standing up for their national interest but leaving the EU is in ours and Obama can bog off.

Well that's going to happen isn't itBoy oh boy, his record's going to be worse than Blairs. A man who cannot provide evidence of his college records to silence "birthers" (the left-wing Marxists love to label things), the man who breaks the American Constitution whenever he likes by ignoring the Senate and the man who increased the debt by some 60% (from Bush's $10tn to $16tn) in just his first four years in office.

Yea, we need advice from that over promoted, tele-prompting Socialist numpty!

Historically, the USA was always jealous of the size, scope and potential of the British Empire - from 1931, the Commonwealth. The movement for colonial independence** - which would have been inevitable eventually - was largely promoted by the USA in order to dilute our combined strengths, and no opportunity to advance that whenever a crisis occurred was missed. The "special relationship"? It hardly existed after the death of FDR, except in the minds of second-rate journos, and had certainly gone by 1960. (**It will be noted that there was never the same pressure on France with its comparable colonial system.)
America and the EU are both based on a form of dictatorship to other countries, the USA always used financial bribery to get their own way, with their demand that we give the colonies their freedom, and the EU whose ability not to recognise the word "NO" has brought financial ruin and corruption to be politically acceptable to everyone with the exception of the unelected beaurocrats who are milking taxpayers money as fast as they can.
