Title says it all. From the pundits here ... our WH moslem was merely giving his opinion. Excuse me, when a head of state is on a state visit, there is no such thing as a personal opinion. Our POS should have exercised his 'right to remain silent' and did not. Yet again he embarrassed our nation abroad.

It might backfire on him. Nobody likes being told what to do by the President of another country. The more so when that country would never countenance compromising its sovereignty. It also has the appearance of a 'put up' job by David Cameron.
"Leave EU" campaigners were claiming that UK dont need EU for trade deals. People like Boris Johnson were boasting that UK can make trade deals with USA. Obama's response was regarding that claim that UK will be in the back of the queue. China has also said that they are not in favor of UK leaving the EU. One thing is clear-who are the friends of Leave EU now? They dont like EU, dont like USA, dont like China, dont like IMF, dont like World Bank, dont like their own Businessman, dont like Royal Family support of EU, dont like Scotland, Wales, North Ireland support of EU? Who will do Trade with whom once UK leaves EU? Currency will fall down and UK do not produce even enough food to eat. Look at Steel industry-dependent on foreign Tata Group.

He must be taking lessons from the Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu.

He had already made the point, this visit should have been a vanilla affair.
The British were rude and disrespectful to President Obama, he was as an ally giving his take and opinion to Britain. He never demanded the UK take one action. I loved how he reminded them that if they thought exiting the EU would be the start of some trade agreements or political union with America, then they were in for a rude awakening.
Brits are dreaming if they think we are going to breaking down doors to trade with them. Kinda have even heard some predict UK would join the US and Canada in some sort of political union. Funny and laughable. Britain is not as important as they believe.
And as Obama rightfully said, no trade deal until years from now. EU is more important than UK will ever care to be alone.
As usual Obama is calm and collected, even when insulted.
Can't say I'm overly surprised. but then I really don't care what he (or more specifically his speech writers and advisers) say, he'll be out door in January building his library and going on the lucrative lecture circuit pontificating in his usual adroit "hear no evil, see no evil.... " manner.
If the UK is so insignificant, why should he worry what we decide?
