tell him to mind his own business, the US isn't in the EU and it never will be.
its for British voters to decide not Obummer-who'll be out of office soon anyway.
This site hardly represents well the views of Brits as a whole. Its self selected and generally right leaning. On top of which, the sprinkling of American's who are under the assumption that selective linking of news articles is in any way objective. Britain will opt to remain in the EU I think by a significant margin. There simply isn't an overriding desire by Brits as a whole and the anti EU movement has been highly vocal but ineffective in any vote.
As for Obama, he remains highly respected around the world in particular in Europe and entering into any British politics will inevitably attract some vitriol from partisan corners. Thats par for the course.

are you an American? do you actually know anyone who is voting in the referendum?
most "man(or woman) in the street " in the UK has had enough of the EU telling us what to do.
The EU hasn't been able or willing to balance its books for the last 20 years, its bureaucratic, overbearing and undemocratic, its fascism with a polite face.
we also never voted to join a political union just a trading one, all this political stuff has crept in via the back door.
if we stay in it will be because big business and the unions tell their people how to vote for fear of losing their jobs.

Polls don't reflect that at all. Just about every poll taken all point to a 50/50 result.
Just a couple days ago it was stated how a survey, carried out by ORB for the Daily Telegraph, found that 57 per cent of voters expect the Remain camp to win, 21 per cent believe the Leave camp will triumph and 22 per cent are unsure
David Cameron’s campaign to stay in the EU received a boost on Sunday as a new poll showed more people believe the economy will be stronger if Britain remains inside the 28-nation community than if it opts for Brexit.
With less than two months before the in/out referendum, the latest Opinium/Observer poll shows 38% of voters believe the UK economy would fare better inside the EU, against 29% who think it would do better if the UK voted to leave. The online poll shows the result is still on a knife-edge, although Remain appears to be making progress and now holds a narrow lead. Remain is on 42% (up 3 points on the previous Opinium survey four weeks ago) while Leave is down 2 points on 41%. The proportion who say they don’t know how they will vote has dropped from 18% to 14%.
The key issue is going to be the economy. Unless Leave can come up with some hard numbers that allay people's fear over the impact of leaving on the economy then there is likely to be a 'safety first' vote in favour of remaining.
its all going to be down to how many get off their backsides and actually make it to a polling booth on the day, the turnout at any British election has been low for many decades, it'll be all down to voter turnout on the day.
don't base any predictions on polls, they are invariably wrong.

I just don't understand how Obama is highly respected in Europe when it was his handling of the Iraq exit that created a vacuum of power that lead to ISIS. Bush was bad, but Obama has been even worse in my opinion.

The Polls are very close, and as for the articles posted many show the political arguments and views of economists.
In terms of the outcome of the vote, I did predict we would remain in the EU however a major deciding factor may be age, with the over-65s the group most likely to vote - and the group most likely to vote to leave the EU. So I am not taking anything for granted and will make sure my views are reflected at the polling station.
