The special relationship has always been more of a British obsession. The reason why Obama's comments have been perceived as bad for Leave is because America and that relationship is seen as one of the alternatives for some of their campaigners as many are keen on the idea of an anglosphere.
Personally I simply see it as the fact the two nations share a similar culture and outlook on the world.

Anyone who thinks us staying in the EU is in some way going to solve the huge problems it faces is deluded IMHO.

I agree. I just don't think leaving solves any problems but will create new ones such as economic uncertainty which will could do without after the last decade.
