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.
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.

There is more economic uncertainty staying in. The cost of being in the EU is rising and we'll need to recoup the cost somehow. Tax rises probably.
However, I do agree there will be some uncertainty but it won't last.

It's bad enough when our own are bickering over what is best for the country for Cameron to actually bring in outsiders and threaten the UK which is basically what he did and our own government has sat back and supported them in doing it.
What else are they going to resort to before voting day. stitch his own country up in order to get what they want and you don't think he should be hung for treason?
It's like going back to the dark ages

I suppose it could be seen as a form of treason. I didn't hear about Obama planning a visit to the UK but it does see they are in cahoots with other and if true, not only is it a dirty trick it's yes, treasonous.

As I've stated there is more economic uncertainty staying in. The way the EU is going the economy could easily crash which will effect us more if we stay in than it would if we leave.
