I personally would prefer Obama to be neutral publicly on this,naturally make his views known to the PM of course.
I also doubt that is all he is coming over for too.

Then again as Lostalex says,we get into USA issues and elections too.I dislike Trump but we have had people here calling for him to be banned from Britain.

Having said that, Obama knows we have USA companies in the UK wo in part are here for the full access they can get to the EU too.
So if such companies have suggested they prefer the UK staying in,then their President should be able to express his view.
After all the Indian PM inferred he wanted the UK to stay in the EU too as I believe maybe China has too.

For me personally,I am just glad he is another voice advocating remaining in.
I doubt his views however will change how people think on either side anyway as to their own intentions.
