Surprise! Obama’s On the Wrong Side On Brexit

2016-04-22

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Fresh from a two-day diplomatic rout in Saudi Arabia, President Obama has injected himself unhelpfully into the question of whether Britain should withdraw from the European Union, which is the subject of a hotly contested referendum in June. Not surprisingly, the President is on the wrong side, supporting the imperious transnational EU and the continued subordination of Britain’s sovereignty to its unaccountable, socialist anti-U.S. bureaucracy and diktats.

Fresh from a two-day diplomatic rout in Saudi Arabia, President Obama has injected himself unhelpfully into the question of whether Britain should withdraw from the European Union, which is the subject of a hotly contested referendum in June.

Not surprisingly, the President is on the wrong side, supporting the imperious transnational EU and the continued subordination of Britain’s sovereignty to its unaccountable, socialist anti-U.S. bureaucracy and diktats.

This is a mistake on two grounds. First, both the United States and Britain will be better off if the UK is free to pursue its own economic, social, immigration and foreign policies, rather than those handed down from Brussels.

And second, the unraveling of one lousy supranational arrangement can help stave off the similar subordination of American sovereignty that Team Obama has in mind for us, pursuant to the so-called “TransPacific Partnership.”

This is Frank Gaffney.
