I remember Obama telling UK they would go to the 'back of the queue' in trade talks with US - an odd statement considering there would be a new president (no doubt assumed it would be Clinton).
Boris Johnson was correct when he said " I think there’s a weird paradox when the president of the United States, a country that would never dream of sharing its sovereignty over anything, instructs or urges us politely to get more embedded in the EU, which is already making 60% of our laws.”
What Boris didn't know what that Obama would love to see US compromising its sovereignty. People in US understood that better in last election. Obama went to UN to get "deals" verified while ignoring his own congress. Even former Obama voters were getting nervous
