Same done by Brit PMs for years. Churchill had many trips to the US to lobby for getting the US into WW2. Recently Cameron lobbyed US congress to kill a bill which would impose greater sanctions on Iran.

Ignore Obama and vote to exit. Up to you Brits. He doesn't get to vote.
Obama:
‘the end of the queue’ and ‘ten years to negotiate’

Sanctions on Iran ? he could sort that out in a few weeks but for supposed good friend Britain a trade deal will take 10 years ...

I'm not anti American , i had many nice holidays there, and only stopped going when they started fingerprinting tourists and treating them like shit at immigration.
In fact i feel sorry for Americans to have that embarrassment as president.


'IT IS WEIRD THAT THE US SHOULD BE TELLING THE UK TO DO SOMETHING THEY WOULD NOT DREAM OF DOING THEMSELVES': BOJO'S BROADSIDE

Barack Obama is entitled to his view and he is an honoured guest, but it is ridiculous to warn that the UK will be at the back of the queue for a free trade deal.
The UK has never been able to do a free trade deal with the US in the last 43 years – because we are in the EU!
Any negotiations are entirely in the hands of the European Commission and only 3.6 per cent of commission officials actually come from this country.
Negotiations are held up by absurd problems like the French restrictions on Hollywood movies or Greek hostility to American feta cheese.
No one in the last 48 hours has come close to answering my point – it is very weird that the US should be telling the UK to do something they would not dream of doing themselves in a million years.
We can be better allies of America if we recapture control of our democracy and our borders and £350 million a week, much of which could be spent on this country's real priorities, such as health. It's time to take back control, folks.
The crucial thing that Churchill stood for, and that America stands for today, is representative democracy. The problem with the EU is that nobody knows who is in charge and nobody knows who is making these decisions.
