Obama hits back at Boris Johnson's alleged smears - BBC News

US president Barack Obama hits back after Boris Johnson's comments about his removal of a bust of Churchill from the Oval Office and his "part-Kenyan" ancestry.

Obama works well with anyone. But, only if they agree with Obama.

Others not so well.

Boris Johnson is the Ex London Mayor & called a "Maverick" but I think he gives us "Mavericks a bad name. He visited us here in Boston last year and he bragged about being born in America. He is also a conservative but he is not Irish so we didn't like him and thought he looked too much like Trump and was full of BS..

Boris said he was pushing to leave the EU and wanted Boston to know how fond of us he is. He said when he returned to London he would be leading the charge to vote to break from the EU.
Anyhow there is no way he and Obama will be kissing cousins & Johnson may just give Obama a lot of grief if he becomes PM.....IMHO...And I don't care too much for anyone named Boris ..sounds like a Russian KGB agent to me..

If and when Boris becomes the PM, yes. But by the time that happens, he will be dealing with President Trump. New golf course anyone?

As a sidelight, I googled Boris Johnson. After seeing the pictures of him, he and Trump will work well together. Just check out his hair!

If Trump wins then they can have a big white supremacist xenophobe party.

Obama will lecture Boris Johnson just as he lectures everyone, but "work with him"? When has Obama worked with anyone?

By the time it is all settled he won't be President Obama's Problem. I do think that Boris Johnson and Donald Trump both have the same Hairdresser and the same Xenophobic Attitude.

President Obama seems loathe to work with anyone or group with whom he disagrees. Thus the Congress and the Executive have been in a virtual stalemate. It is highly likely that ... (Pardon me while I choke down this next line) ... A third Clinton administration would be more successful given her diplomacy skills. Whereas President Obama is a likable guy who tries to win people over with charm and swagger, Secretary Clinton is a reprehensible individual who is better suited for the machinations of cut throat international politics than the Academician in Chief.
I must go now. As I just paid Secretary Clinton a compliment, I feel I must bathe in bleach and drink some pine oil to get this awful taste out of my mouth. OMG!! My keyboard is smoking!

I think as of today the Brits have three choices to replace PM Cameron
1. Boris Johnson ex mayor of London and favored the split from the EU
2. Theresa May who was one of the secretaries under Cameron & backed the Remain guys,
but she was on the right of Cameron on most issues and as a lady she is an interesting candidate
because Old Boris is a loose canon that goes off quite a bit and has hit some Brits and Obama in the butt.
3. George Osborne is the Chancellor of the Exchequer and was in Cameron's hip pocket so that could sink his chances.

So it looks like either Boris or Ms May..would be my best guess and I know as much about British Politics as I do about Nuclear Physics..

I take issue with much of what President Obama says, so suprisingly I actually appreciate his recent comments towards Britain decision. I am glad he didn't try to publicly condemn it, so kudos to that.

Paste:
Rather than dwell on the wrenching change to come, Mr. Obama emphasized continuity. “One thing that will not change is the special relationship that exists between our two nations,” he said. “That will endure.” And, he added, “The E.U. will remain one of our Indispensable partners.”

Obama Says ‘Special Relationship’ With Britain Will Endure

The vote by Britons to leave the European Union threw a shadow over the technology-friendly president’s trip to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit at Stanford University.
