Obama urges Scotland not to ruin America's 'special relationship' with Britain by voting for independence

Barack Obama tonight urged Scottish voters not to break apart ‘one of the closest allies we’ll ever have’ by voting for independence on Thursday.

The dramatic intervention, just three days before Scotland goes to the polls, will infuriate Alex Salmond - with the battle for independence set to be decided by the smallest of margins.

Up to half a million voters remain undecided - with concerns over the future of Scotland’s place in major international organisations like the EU, Nato and the UN still hotly debated.

They are all worried that Scotland's secession from Britain will start a chain reaction, with Ireland, and Wales. Also might get secession movements with certain states motivated into action or the split up of certain states and territories like Delmarva, or California and Texas. Texas joined the union voluntarily and may decide to leave.

Best if Texas joined up with Mexico and takes its politicians with it.

I think the Scottish separation idea is emotionally appealing but not so good from a practical standpoint. My maternal grandparents were born in Ireland before the creation of the Republic. Neither was a fan of the British. My grandfather was all for independence (he even was involved with the IRA briefly), while my grandmother predicted that the split would be a disaster economically. She was right.
