I heard this on the wireless this morning, he has my sympathy.
I can just imagine him thinking "this is the country that invented Riverdance"?
It shows how much respect Ireland has for him.

Fair dos....he's Irish isn't he ?

I'm sorry but I'm having trouble with Jedward and entertained in the same sentence.
Will it be better if I go and lie down.

Mind you given all the dull rhetoric that Obama has spouted in the last three years I would class it as just deserts...

Once he has heard them he might send in the Seals and do us all a favour ;-)

Why is it, that every current , prospective, past US President (even a black American one called Hussain), Senator and mayor, insist on:
a: Visiting a tin pot broke little country with no army, money or influence.
b: Inventing a blood relative who comes from some grotty stone hovel.
Talking of Ireland of course. For gawds sake, the US has a population of 310 million, Ireland 4.35 million. They cant all be of Irish descent, the sums don't add up. And how come none of them ever claim to come from Northern Ireland?
|
Well, let's see now, could it be about currying favour with the "Irish" voters in the USA? Or is that just a cynical point of view?
|
per Wikipedia
"36,278,332 Americans—estimated at 11.9% of the total population—reported Irish ancestry in the 2008 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau."
That's a lot of votes

> "36,278,332 Americans—estimated at 11.9% of the total population—reported Irish ancestry in the 2008 American Community
Exactly, how the hell can 4.5 million morph into 36 million. And more to the point, how can 11.9% carry such influence? There are 50 million Hispanics - 16% of the population, yet no president claims to have a hovel in Puerto Rico.

With a name like O'Bama is blindingly oblivious.

His mother is of Irish, English German and Welsh descent according to Wiki - so he may change his name to Barach ap Bama !
|
Well he is visiting
Ireland - Rellie = Tick
UK - Rellie = Tick
France and Poland? no rellies? does he become "le Bama" or Obamski?

More like Bambi.
The only president after WW2 who made a inpression on me was John F Kennedy.
After him none where special.

>> The only president after WW2 who made a impression on me was John F

Kennedy like all his clan was an Anglophobe, womanising, no good, waste of space.

Lucky he died before he took an injunction out then Rog !
