Farage credits Obama for Brexit results

UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage said that the big reason the U.K. voted to leave the E.U. was because President Obama told them not to leave. In fact, Obama threatened to make the UK stand in line behind the EU when trading with the US 

"Threatening people too much insults their intelligence," Farage said on "Breitbart News Daily." 

"A lot of people in Britain said, 'How dare the American president come here and tell us what to do?'" Farage was referring to Obama's trip to the UK in April. "It backfired. We got an Obama-Brexit bounce, because people do not want foreign leaders telling them how to think and vote."

Of course, Obama consistently tells people how to think and vote. He's so busy speaking out against Donald Trump, while he ought to be dealing with terrorism and other important issues. But perhaps it will backfire and give Trump an 'Obama Bump' too.

Obama warned Britain that leaving the EU could harm potential trade deals with the US and that Britain would have to wait in back of the line. "The UK is going to be in the back of the queue," our president threatened.

Donald Trump, in true Trump spirit, mocked Obama for being on the losing side of the Brexit vote. The world seems to be a continuous contest to Donald.

"The world doesn't listen to him," Trump said while in Turnberry, Scotland on a visit to one of his golf courses. The presumptive GOP candidate backs the decision to leave the EU in order to take its own path in the future.

"You just have to embrace it," Trump said. "It's the will of the people. What happened should have happened, and they'll be stronger for it."

British Prime Minister David Cameron resigned his position Friday due to the Brexit vote. Why doesn't President Obama follow his lead?
