Since I became politically aware way back when I was a British teenager, I can recall many of the US presidents, at least those since Ford. Some American Presidents appear to have been relatively good workaday stewards of the office such as Gerald Ford. Some have been radicals who failed dismally and weakened America as with Carter. Others such as Ronald Reagan have only shown how great a positive effect that they had on the world once they were gone. Also I didn’t fully appreciate Reagan’s greatness until I was of an age and a level of life experience to understand his achievements. There have been some Presidents who looked fair but increasingly felt foul such as Bill Clinton and others such as George W Bush who have been hated by certain sections of the Left, but who failed to galvanise the bulk of the British population to have an opinion of him one way or another.

And then there is Barack Obama. There were many Britons, who back in 08, looked on him as a president who would build bridges with other nations and would finally put an end to the racial rancour that had afflicted parts of American life. Foolishly some of us expected him to help create an America where it was not the colour of a person’s skin that was important but the content of their character and the level of their achievements. Those of us who thought that have to admit that we were wrong about Obama on almost everything. He’s not a president who had brought people together but a president who seems to think that politically correct division is a good thing. It is not. It’s the exact opposite of ‘E Pluribus Unum’ which means ‘out of many comes one nation’

Barack Obama has been a big disappointment all round and his patronising, bullying performance in trying to persuade Britons to vote to remain inside a corrupt and increasingly German dominated European Union has angered Britons. Many of us Britons were extremely disgusted seeing Obama try to bully us and vote not only against our national interest but also to vote against the interests of our children and grandchildren. Those of us who are older will not have to live for too long with the consequences of remaining in the European Union and all that entails, but my son will and so will his offspring.

How dare President Obama tell us and threaten us in order to get us to vote for the enslavement of my child and his children by a German controlled European superstate. How dare Obama threaten us with trade sanctions if we don’t surrender to Brussels or wish to control our own borders or think that our own representatives at Westminster should make the decisions that affect our lives.

Parts of Obama’s bully-pulpit speech could have quite easily have been written for him by Number 10 or by the treasonously pro-EU civil servants of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and it showed. The use of British-English words, such as ‘queue’ instead of ‘line’ to appeal to Britons and the scaremongering about trade deals, smack well and truly of his speech, if not written by Number 10 and the FCO, but heavily influenced by these entities.

But, Obama’s patronising and threatening seems to have back fired badly. The President and his staff are finding out just why the French refer to Britons as ‘Les Fuckoffs’ when he was subjected to the sort of foul mouthed abuse that the French think Britons excel at. His unwanted and dishonest intervention in the debate about British sovereignty has generated much anger on social media. This has included a #FuckOffObama Twitter hashtag that the Twitter management appear to have done their very best to censor and prevent from appearing in trending lists.

The negative reaction by a wide section of the British public from both soft Left to centre right and right politics is a humiliation for Obama. Mind you he doesn’t need much help from us on the humiliation department when you look at the mess that his party has made of cities in the US like Detroit, Michigan, Chicago, Illinois and Camden, New Jersey. All three of those places make some of the worst crap-holes in the UK look like paradises of political, social and financial responsibility.

As an admirer of the United States, and someone whose right to speak in the manner that I do is protected by that wonderful thing called the ‘First Amendment to the US Constitution’, I try my best to respect the office of President of the United States of America. Because to a certain extent I’m protected from arrest by politically motivated British police by the US First Amendment, I appreciate what it gives me, it gives me freedom to express my point of view. Therefore I treat the holder of the office of POTUS with the same sort of respect that I treat Britain’s illustrious Monarch, but I’ve found this is difficult to do with the current office holder Barack Obama.

President Obama’s visit to the UK is an object lesson in how to lose friends and alienate people and I hope that Britain never again sees a US president act in this way. Such behaviour is no good for either of our nations. The relationship between Britain and the US has sometimes been good and other times not so good as many relationships often are. But, at least since the end of that regrettable unpleasantness of 1812-1815 and some other hiccups during the US Civil War, Britain and the USA have at least appreciated each other and respected both what we have in common and respected our differences. There has been trust between our two nations and our troops have sometimes fought and died on the same battlefields, both for our separate national interests, and our common and mutual interests.

I have never before felt the desire to shout ‘fuck off’ at a US president as much as I have over President Obama’s ill judged and arrogant intervention in British affairs. I try not to comment too much on US politics except where such politics affects Britain or the rest of the world. I have my views on the current election cycle there naturally, as whoever gets the job of President is going to have an effect on the wider world. American politics, although absolutely fascinating to me, is something that I cannot influence as I am not an American citizen and therefore I have not vote in US elections. I’ve no desire to become an American citizen as I’m quite happy being a British subject thank you very much. President Obama should have kept out of the discussion about Britain’s sovereignty as it was not his place to interfere. How would he like it if David Cameron came to Washington and ordered Americans about? What if a British Prime Minister said to Americans ‘open up your borders’ to Mexico and the crime gangs, or to Canada where the Trudeau government is creating the social conditions that allow Islamic terror cells to grow willy nilly? Americans would not appreciate such an impolitic intervention and would quite rightly say so. The British have spoken about Obama’s unjust and arrogant meddling in Britain’s affairs and he leaves Britain with a lot of fruity language ringing in his ears.

The United States had it’s moment when it declared independence from the British Empire on 4^th July 1776. Please Mr Obama let Britain have our own moment when we can hopefully declare independence from an arrogant European Empire on June 23 2016.

As I said earlier, I can respect the office of POTUS but I find that I can’t bring myself to respect the current incumbent of the office, and am thankful that Obama is prevented by another constitutional amendment, the twenty second, from serving a third term as President. I can only hope that President Obama spends the rest of his term in office on the golf course and not injudiciously interfering in the domestic affairs of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. A period of silence from President Obama on the subject of Britain’s sovereignty would be greatly appreciated.
