Mick, I owe you a big apology on this.
What Obama said had never made sense to me, right from the beginning. I made some comments on it on a site that I used to run:

I'll copy the relevant parts of it, here:

He said that "Brits would have to get to the back of the line" in respect to trade deals...now for a guy who race whores as much as Obama does, for him to utter those words was truly remarkable. He may as well have told Brits to go sit at the back of the bus / or "go drink out of that water fountain over there" (whilst pointing) if the vote leads to a decision to leave. Maybe I am reading too much into his comments here but it almost felt like he was telling Brits "you are lower than segregated blacks in the south in the 60's IMO". A disgusting comment from a President who is doing nothing more than attention seeking at this point.
If his intent was to help guide Brits to stay, he failed. Abysmally.

For the most part, I would kind of get annoyed at myself for seeing the same analogy - but be annoyed because I had compared nationalists to blacks before CR legislation came into effect.
I kind of saw it as Obama saying "you lost don't deserve to be equal - separate, sure but not equal".
So it was part of the reason that I spent a little less time on the site (one of the two reasons) for a while because I felt pretty bad about it? Why? Because I started doing the exact same thing - replying to pro leave / nationalist posters but only when I had waited a few weeks / put them to the "back of the line" effectively, for lack of a better term. I started doing exactly what Obama and Cameron wanted to do.
At the time I was just annoyed at myself for comparing blacks before the CRA badly, then I spoke to a few leave voters here and quite a few (all but one in fact) treated me very kindly and nicely. Then finally I realized that I was being passive aggressive / the one thing I hate. In treating the posters who I differed with as second class citizens.
I didn't mean to, but fwiw it is a leave leaning poster (Sephiroth) who finally woke me up to some of my bad behavior / made me realize that a lot of the leave side are not bad at all.
We may disagree some over Europe but at the end of the day that is just a difference over a political issue and even though I didn't seem it at first, I am fine to keep perfectly healthy friendships with just about anyone ; no matter what the political difference. I am probably better versed in regards to politics and law than just about anyone here....what I didn't realize is that I was turning into a politician, with my behavior here.
