Given Obama's hopeless foreign policy, you'd have thought he'd stay out of the Brexit debate. But no. He's lecturing Britain on staying in. Fine. Every time he opens his mouth he creates thousands more Brexiteers.

States of misunderstanding? Britain and the US

Obama's legacy: Cuba, Iran, and silly, PC Brit-bashing

Obama gets Europe wrong again. Why doesn't he allow free immigration from Mexico and Cuba then?
