Watch any of the TV news talk shows Friday and almost all have ignored one important fact: the Brexit 'Leave' victory was another humiliating loss for President Barack Obama.

In fact, some British polls even showed that voter sentiment moved decidedly in favor of Brexit after Obama traveled to Britain and urged a "no" vote.

British voters delivered a stinging rebuke to Obama on Thursday when they opted to leave the EU by a 52 percent to 48 percent margin.

So strong was the backlash to Obama's blatant attempt to influence the Brexit vote – polls following his April visit to London showed the opposition to his remarks running at about 60 percent – that a reasonable case could be made he contributed to the outcome.
Obama's threatening remarks against Britain over Brexit seemed to have ignited a tempest.

Upon leaving the EU, Obama said, Britain should not expect a new trade deal with the U.S., that it would be "in the back of the queue."

In a subsequent interview with the BBC, Obama suggested that a new trade deal with America's closest ally "could be five years from now, 10 years from now before we were able to actually get something done."

Obama's use of the Briticism "queue" for the word "line" triggered widespread speculation that the President's comments had, in fact, been written for him at 10 Downing Street.

The left leaning, lame stream media is being a good lap dog and covering for (not ignoring) this disaster for "El Jefe" and the Hildabeast.
