:02:26. > :02:32.He insisted it was in the interests of both the UK and America
:02:33. > :02:36.Time and again, he underlined the economic benefits of membership,

:03:14. > :03:19.husband and sometimes chauffeur. Even they did not seem sure of the
:03:20. > :03:22.etiquette of who gets to sit in the front. But once the niceties were
:03:23. > :03:28.done, the entourage sped from Windsor to Westminster. The pizzazz
:03:29. > :03:32.of the presidency, the power of the office. The megawatt political
:03:33. > :03:39.celebrity of the man himself. It could not be doing and by the
:03:40. > :03:45.Downing Street rain, as Barack Obama arrived to add his pure force to the
:03:46. > :03:48.Prime Minister's biggest ever fight. Even before the president delivered
:03:49. > :03:55.his verdict, David Cameron looked like he could hardly believe his
:03:56. > :03:59.luck - and his friendship. I am honoured to have Barack Obama as a
:04:00. > :04:04.friend. He has taught me the rules of basketball, he has beaten me at
:04:05. > :04:08.table tennis. We were actually partners in that ping-pong game, and
:04:09. > :04:13.we lost to some schoolchildren. Jokes over, Mr Cameron has always
:04:14. > :04:17.said, if you are tempted to leave the EU, don't kid yourself you would
:04:18. > :04:20.be able to trade with the rest of the world. I figured you would want
:04:21. > :04:26.to hear from the President of the United States as to what I thinks
:04:27. > :04:29.the United States might do. On that matter, for example, I think it is
:04:30. > :04:34.fair to say that maybe some point down the line, there might meet a
:04:35. > :04:38.UK-US trade agreement, but it is not going to happen any time soon
:04:39. > :04:42.because our focus is on negotiating with a big block, the European
:04:43. > :04:46.Union, to get a trade agreement done. And the UK is going to be at
:04:47. > :04:51.the back of the queue. I am very proud to have had the opportunity to
:04:52. > :04:55.be Prime Minister, and to stand outside the White House, listening
:04:56. > :04:58.to this man, my friend Barack Obama, say that the special relationship
:04:59. > :05:01.between our countries has never been stronger. But I have never felt
:05:02. > :05:07.constrained in any way by the fact that we are in the European Union.
:05:08. > :05:13.The American president warned of the risks of stitching Europe 's fabric.
:05:14. > :05:17.Ultimately this is something the British voters have to decide for
:05:18. > :05:23.themselves. But as part of our special relationship, part of being
:05:24. > :05:31.friends is to be honest. And to let you know what I think. And speaking
:05:32. > :05:34.honestly, the outcome of that decision is a matter of deep
:05:35. > :05:40.interest to the United States, because it affects our prospects as
:05:41. > :05:43.well. In the 21st century, the nations which make their presence
:05:44. > :05:47.felt on the world stage are not the nations that go it alone for those
:05:48. > :05:53.that team up to aggregate their power and multiply their influence.
:05:54. > :05:56.Are you also saying that our decades-old special relationship,
:05:57. > :06:01.which has been through so much, would be fundamentally damaged and
:06:02. > :06:05.changed by our exit? And do you have any sympathy with people who think
:06:06. > :06:14.this is none of your business? We are so bound together but nothing is
:06:15. > :06:18.going to impact the emotional and cultural and intellectual affinities
:06:19. > :06:24.between our two countries. One of our best friends is in an
:06:25. > :06:34.organisation which enhances their influence and power and economy,
:06:35. > :06:38.then I want them to stay in it. David Cameron's enemies in the
:06:39. > :06:45.European campaign branded Mr Obama a hypocrite for intervening. Their
:06:46. > :06:49.biggest player, Boris Johnson, even questioned his motives. The American
:06:50. > :06:52.leader removed this bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office. Mr
:06:53. > :06:59.Johnson wondered in print whether that was a symbol of the part Kenyan
:07:00. > :07:04.resident's ancestral dislike of the British Empire. That was met by the
:07:05. > :07:09.American president with a silky but deadly slap down. Prime Minister, if
:07:10. > :07:13.I may, some of your colleagues believe it is utterly wrong that you
:07:14. > :07:17.have dragged our closest ally into the EU referendum campaign - is it
:07:18. > :07:22.appropriate for the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, to have brought up
:07:23. > :07:25.President Obama's Kenyan ancestry in the context of this debate?
:07:26. > :07:34.Questions for Boris are not questions for me. I love Winston
:07:35. > :07:41.Churchill. I love the guy! Now, when I was elected as President of the
:07:42. > :07:46.United States, my predecessor had kept a Churchill bust in the Oval
:07:47. > :07:49.Office. There are only so many tables where you can put busts,
:07:50. > :07:54.otherwise it starts looking a little cluttered. And I felt it was
:07:55. > :07:58.appropriate, and I suspect that most people here in the United Kingdom
:07:59. > :08:04.might agree, that as the first African-American president, it might
:08:05. > :08:11.be appropriate to have a bust of Dr Martin McShane king in my office.
:08:12. > :08:14.So, what did the Out campaign's biggest character have to say in
:08:15. > :08:18.response? The crucial thing that Winston Churchill stood for, and I
:08:19. > :08:23.think the crucial thing which America stands for, is
:08:24. > :08:28.representative democracy. And the problem with the EU is that nobody
:08:29. > :08:35.knows who is in charge, nobody knows who is making these decisions. And
:08:36. > :08:38.as I say, I think it is very, very weird that the United States should
:08:39. > :08:42.be telling us to do something they would not dream of doing in a
:08:43. > :08:45.million years themselves. The Prime Minister and President Obama do not
:08:46. > :08:51.share the political intimacy of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan,
:08:52. > :08:56.nor a, and controversial cause, like George W Bush and Tony Blair. But by
:08:57. > :09:00.speaking so powerfully in favour of Britain staying in the EU, Barack
:09:01. > :09:05.Obama has done David Cameron much more than a favour. He has said that
:09:06. > :09:10.on the EU, he is right and his rivals are wrong. Politics over, it
:09:11. > :09:14.was time for a private dinner at Kensington Palace. Cambridge's
:09:15. > :09:26.probably do not have to worry if the champagne is being put on ice. It is
:09:27. > :09:32.in No 10 that the corks might really pop tonight. Laura Kuenssberg, what
:09:33. > :09:36.kind of impact could this intervention have on the campaign,
:09:37. > :09:40.in your view? If Downing Street had written a script for President
:09:41. > :09:44.Obama, I don't think they would have dared write lines which were so firm
:09:45. > :09:50.and clear in his conviction that we would be wrong to leave the European
:09:51. > :09:54.Union. And particularly because jobs and the economy are right at the
:09:55. > :09:57.centre of this debate. His suggestion that we would be sent to
:09:58. > :10:06.the back of the queue if we left, looking for a trade deal, laid down
:10:07. > :10:09.a very big challenge to the Out campaign, who also find themselves
:10:10. > :10:15.real rebuke to one of their biggest real rebuke to one of their biggest
:10:16. > :10:18.political players. President Obama, without even mentioning his name,
:10:19. > :10:24.slamming Boris Johnson's comments. Now, the big question, which we do
:10:25. > :10:28.not know the answer to, and we will not know until the end of June, is,
:10:29. > :10:31.whether or not these kind of interventions will really shift any
:10:32. > :10:38.votes? How many of us come in the privacy of the polling booth, with
:10:39. > :10:42.the pencil hovering over the boxes, we'll really think back to the words
:10:43. > :10:45.of President Obama, and that will be what makes up our mind? And
:10:46. > :10:52.remember, there are another two months to go in this campaign, and
:10:53. > :10:57.20 more noises and debate to come. Jon Sopel, do you think that the
:10:58. > :11:02.president achieved what he set out to achieve today? So much of what we
:11:03. > :11:07.do is to try to decipher and decode what politicians say. What did they
:11:08. > :11:12.really mean? No need with Barack Obama. He could not have been more
:11:13. > :11:16.blunt. There was deliberate calculation from the White House.
:11:17. > :11:20.They thought that it would alienate some people, him being so direct,
:11:21. > :11:24.but he wanted to say what he wanted to say very clearly indeed. That
:11:25. > :11:29.said, I am picking up some unease this evening from senior White House
:11:30. > :11:33.staff about that phrase, the back of queue fills -- the back of the
:11:34. > :11:40.queue. I am told it was not in the script. Americans never say that,
:11:41. > :11:45.they would say, back of the line. But Barack Obama wanted to put down
:11:46. > :11:49.a marker on that. This was not about helping David Cameron. This was
:11:50. > :11:53.about the American political and economic establishment wanting to
:11:54. > :11:57.say that they think it would be ruinous and precarious for Britain
:11:58. > :12:00.to leave the European Union. As for the American people, I suspect they
:12:01. > :12:05.will be much more transfixed on the dinner this evening with the Duke
:12:06. > :12:10.and Duchess of and lunch with the Queen at Windsor, and how on earth
