Brexiters are in crisis, especially after US President Obama 's recent visit to the United Kingdom. They were so much troubled and feared that they descended into ad hominem against President Obama.
Boris Johnson, the leader of the Leave campaign and mayor of London, suggested that President Obama had anti-colonial mindset obtained from his Kenyan father. Although the reference was made to the removal of the bust of British Prime Minister Churchill from the Oval Office, Johnson was angry because of his intervention on behalf of the Remain campaign.
President Obama was in London, mainly, for two reasons. One, he wanted to wish the Queen happy birthday. Two, he wanted to support Prime Minister David Cameron to win the referendum of 23 June …show more content…
While Prime Minister David Cameron, the chancellor, and the majority of cabinet members are campaigning to stay, six ministers have been openly working to leave the EU. After Obama 's visit, the remain campaign has gained a slight edge over the leave campaign.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron is to blame for creating this crisis and the ugly outcome if the British people decide to leave. He had pushed the panic button of a referendum when a small UK Independence Party, led by a flamboyant former banker Nigel Farrage made some inroads, into his party 's electoral territories.
There was always an anti-EU sentiment in Britain. The UKIP always abhorred Britain 's membership of the EU. A large segment of conservatives has not been able to digest EU membership. Cameron announced the referendum in a panic to avoid further bleeding of his party to the UKIP.
He negotiated concessions from Brussels to remain within the EU. While these concessions were dismissed as too little in London, they were deemed too much in Brussels. Even as others were less significant, more significant ones were two. One, Britain would never be forced to join the euro.

They also maintain that the migration crisis can be handled better together with other EU members than alone.
Their strongest suit is economic. Indeed, the United Kingdom will be worse off outside the EU than within the EU. After leaving the EU, it will have to strike individual agreements with the other EU members and well as so many other countries. President Obama has made it clear that Britain will have to go back of the line, and it might take five to 10 years. Britain will also need to negotiate trade treaties with individual countries of the EU once it gets out, and this may take several years as well.
Finally, it will have to make almost the same magnitude of contribution for free access to EU markets as now but without having the seat at the decision table.
So, if the British people with vote with their heart, Britain will be out of the EU on the 24 June, though it will have two years to make the transition. It the British vote with their brain, the country will become a stronger member of the EU on 24
