There’s No One as Irish as Barack O’Bama?

Sunlen Miller writes:
“the Irish town of Moneygall — from whence President-elect Obama says his great great great grandfather hailed …”
Good grief! Can we get a BREAK from Obama’s DNA delusions, already — given that in what passes for reality, The One’s pretty hazy even on the history of his mother, and of his supposed progenitor …
Promoting this pathetic personality cult at the coronation is a stupid embarrassment, right up there with mega-church man.
If The CHANGEling and the Kennedys have the right of return, maybe they should go back to Iresland NOW, before people get any MORE sick of their burgeoning baloney, er, blarney.

Hey, as an amateur genealogist, I think this is totally great. Great job they did on the lyrics, too! I would absolutely love an O’Bama tee shirt for St. Patty’s day.

To be sure Obama has a token gay cousin he can flaunt to appease all of the homosexuals angered by choosing Rick Warren.
By the way–I am gay and not upset at the choice of Warren.
I never trusted Obama from the beginning and was completely turned off by his constant pandering.
Obama’s views on gay rights are the same as Hillary, Warren, Palin, Bush.
But too many gays were drunk on BO kool-aid to see the truth.
But back to the subject…Obama has Irish blood. Why am I not surprised?

There’s also French ancestry for Obama . So maybe someone can do a Zydeco song for him. Incidentally, both him and Cheney have a common French ancestor from the 1600′s who was a Hugenot.

“This reminds me of an old song: “IT IS NICE TO BE A KING”. Everyone will praise you!”
Everyone will praise you to your face, and — probably — in print … but … behind the scenes, they’ll ridicule every aspect of your ridiculous reign.

Have you people gone completely insane over there? You actually believe that B.O. the clown is IRISH?? I’ve got some ocean-front property in Indiana I’d like to sell you!

Looking over most of the comments here makes me so thankful that Obama/Biden won, rather than the candidates of these folks who are still dedicated 100% to making willfully ignorant remarks.

“The King never mind what is going onbehind the scene. What is important is what is presents in front of him.”
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
Meanwhile, The One’s not so much like a king. Instead, he evokes … one of the ugly stepsisters, enhanced with a face transplant, playing out the wish to play the Princess.
Blood will tell, as what’s-his-name once said.

Oh Belle Starr, no no, its Jake this time. Not Sunlen Miller. much as I dislike your ideas, Belle, I am happy to share this joy of Jake’s return (and a certain somebody’s departure) with you. Jake is back! Don’t ever leave us like that again, jpt. The last week has NOT been cool–
Having said that, this is old news. why are you digging up old news? and also why are they playing at the inauguration. Bet ppl would be up in arms if the non-American band that was invited to play at the American inauguration was Mexican.
Thank you, Bree my dear.

This WestCoastO’Messenger is Irish and would be more than happy to throw down a brew with O’bama. I voted for O’, just barely, but he’s proven himself to me.

Town? There are a few houses at the side of the road and also a few chancers “on the make”. The long-gone ancestor was a shoemaker (cobbler) called Falmouth Kearney. This is and was an unusual first name in Ireland as it’s the name of a town in Devon (England). Devon is particularly associated with Sir Francis Drake so before long we’ll probably hear that Barack is a relation of Queen Elizabeth 1 or, barring that, her most famous buccaneer who defeated the Spanish Armada. Fill in the blanks, as you wish, and remember that the singers and the song are absolute rubbish but, hey, if they can make some money from human gullibility in these hard times, good luck to them.

sounds like he is Irish as long as it helps HIM.
and jake…for me to say that …you know… that is a big jump.
wonder if her Irish would have helped his Mom in the 50′s and 60′s if a President elect then gave one of those preachers creedence who was actively and nationally pushing that bigoted belief that interracial relations were on par with bestiality and unnaturalness.?
you know how do you think Barack felt about those preachers if his Mom had to live in neighborhoods who bought into that belief…you know when she had to walk on those streets…home daily…at night.
and how do you think he would have felt if the President he worked his a$$ off for two years to get elected risking…more than that president would know… actually went and picked the most visible of those preachers preaching about the sins of inter racial relations and the weakening gene pool for what may be the most honored religious and moral choice he can make for what may be the most watched event in human history…to stand by him.
he probably would be angry and scared enough to ignore talk about that half Irish president’s rock song.
whose angry? lol
sorry had to spew…

Who the blazes is Miguel Marquez? Don’t tell me! He’s Irish too but is better known as Mickey Finn. Ronald Reagan was just as Irish as the Kennedys but he kept quiet about it as he got a rough ride in Dublin when he came to visit way back in the 80s. His policy on Central America was none too popular and Ollie North didn’t really strike a chord. The only genuine Irish-American I know was born in August 2007 and lives in Darien, Connecticut. His mother is my cousin – born, brought up and educated in Ireland. His dad is American and the marriage took place in Co. Kerry, Ireland, almost exactly seven years ago. The young lad was also baptized in Ireland and will have a real Irish-American sibling next June. Give up your oul’ nonsense as we can tell the authentic from the fake. Barack Obama hasn’t even been inaugurated yet and, in general, the world doesn’t give a fiddler’s curse about his ancestry. He had nothing to do with it. It’s how he shapes up as President that will matter.

PA-LEESE…..He’s a mutt, nuff said!!

wow!! everyone is cashing in on his name . but this one have good intentions i guess … so its ok .

Delta
Would you say the same if he invited the head of the KU Klux Klan to give the prayer…
he also has a large constituency and that would be reaching out?
or maybe just a minister who says women should be subservient to men because the Bible says that too in many interpretations…
would that be okay? if a popular minister who actively preaches that women need to bow down to men was chosen
I think you all need to realize Barack made a mistake…he did not think this through …he is giving a man who is horrible …not just slightly horrible …but actively hoorible to a huge population that fervently fought for him
he owes them nothing…but hypocrisy is something they don’t deserve.

dl, thanks, that helps me understand. Good for you for being nice and selling soft — I didn’t see a lot of nice and soft campaigning around here. But no one came to the door; we have a lot of woods, dogs, etc (no shotguns).
I see a lot of disappointment and disillusion in your posts and I’m sorry for that (NOT being condescending or “tolja-so”).

Please. Not everyone wants a piece — trust me. And he’s not a great leader. A great salesman— absolutely!
He’s never taken a principled, controversial stand. Sure, he likes to talk big about his “controversial” stand against the Iraq War. Newsflash: his stand wasn’t controversial in the most liberal district in Illinois, which he represented.
All that said, I hope he does well. He’ll be the most inexperienced man to ever be inaugurated POTUS. He has no executive experience whatsoever. I just hope he proves to be more than just a first-rate snake oil salesman.

Fashionable to have Irish ancestry.. would Obama be happy with a song based on some of his French roots?? Hell NO!
What would Bill O’Reilly make of this???? hahaa
Cant get that chorus out of my head…O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara

It is shocking and almost diabolical to see people trying to pass off Obama’s acknowledgement his irish ancestry as hypocrisy because he does not look like most people who lay such claims.For sure the real ‘hypocrisy’ is deeply embedded in the racial hocus pocus.

So he’s Irish now TOO!!! I don’t wanna know what comes next…

Obama ran against one of weakest quasi-Republican candidates in modern history, one who had earned the animus of Republican voters numerous times. Obama, with massive help from the press, built a cult of personality. He crushed no one.
So far, he’s all fluff. He hasn’t taken brave stands, his first election he ran unopposed after having his opponents disqualified on technicalities. He’s a political coward posing as a leader for a brave new world.
He’s neither brave nor a leader. And judgement? Two words: Joe Biden. LOL
And this is a man you think should be taken seriously?

Republicans are so envious not to have an Obama of their own and instead have a Bush or a Cheney. It is wonderful to see how the world loves US because of Barack Obama.
GOD is happy with US again for US has voted right this time!!
GO Barack!!

I am pro-gay marriage and still I congratulate Barack Obama for having chosen an anti-gay priest to his ceremony.
The only way to unite is by uniting. If gays and lesbians are ever going to win something socially, who they truly deserve, it will be through B.O.
The only way to do good things is by bringing the opposites together. There is no other way.
If gays and lesbians want to be accepted, the only way is through people like this priest to be shut up. And the only way to shut people like that is by trade.
Wait and see…Obama knows what he is doing. He also needs to counter all the crazy right wing fundamentalist Christians who say he isn’t Christian. He needs to shut those up first, if he is govern.
Wait and see. B.O. is on the side of equality for all.

He’s neither brave nor a leader. And judgement? Two words: Joe Biden. LOL

ONCE again you are clueless, Why that move was made to PICK Biden! Here is a clue.
It sure up the catholic votes which Biden is, And being a state son so to speak of philadelphia …sure up any doubts. Remember MCain and palin thought they had a shot and it was there only shot, and was there in philly at the end just about everyday .
And oh yea! Biden sure up the foreign policy area too.
Its like the Obama camp read it like a book
Thats why you do what you do and leave this type of stuff for the brain trust.
mind you Hillary Clinton would have work fine too, but one problem of concern was Bill Clinton baggage,
the stuff he wouldn’t release earlier.

Eyewideope
Obama’s hipocrisy is not about Irish
It’s about a man who ignores his mother’s fight in the 50′s and 60′s against bigots who often called in their bigoted conservative way…her relationship that he was born out of…on par with the “unnatural” “bestiality” “pedophilia” “weakening the gene pool” “the end of civilization”"a threat against civilization” “incest” “unholy” “sin”
all things bigots said then about interracial relationships…
all things they could try and back up with 8000 years of civilized institutionalized slavery …and interpretation of the Bible supporting that idea.
and Now he tells a community that is actually larger than that of those who are had inter racial relationships …that his appointment and recognition of a man who says that about them…
is “what we have to do to reach out”
If a president said that like JFK or Robert Kennedy said that in some of those historic speeches …or did that instead of those speeches… giving the bigot who believed Obama’s mother was “unnatural” or on par with “pedophilia and bestiality” (which was a belief at that time held by as many conservatives as do about the gay community now)
There is a chance Obama would not be accepting the Presidency right now.
THAT is the hypocrisy…
and yes…THAT IS hypocrisy.
unquestionably.
should the Kennedy brothers have “reached out and appointed some KKK representative or racist preacher to lead the nation in prayer… lets say that preacher at the time was leading a feed the hungry initiative.
yes hypocrisy…
and I say this as someone who fought daily tooth and nail to get this man elected in places I should not have been.
yes hypocrisy.

I meant to say there are a many many things we can bend to unite on…
equality for all is not one of them.

There’s a lot of DNA in the empty suit

I needed a smile today – thanks Jake!
P.S. Merry Christmas
P.S.S. I used to post here as Nobodys fool – but I’m getting too old for all the names – so one name for all blogs now! :)

George Bush gave us miracles . .. we can expect more miracles. Every day is a miracle in the country of miracles. Isn’t that miraculous?

Sam you’re unemployable is my guess.

barack hussien obama, now that sounds
Irish….Who would have thought?

mark: You are so right. He should not be president of this country because it was never proven that he was born here. I still believe he was born in Kenya and that’s where his father abandoned him. His mother divorced his father then took him to Hawaii, married again, divorced again and married a man from Indonesia. It is understand his stepfather registered him as a citizen of Indonesia. The government is afraid of riots in this country.

Keep talking, maybe someone will listen. The left wing never whines.
If the dems lead so many people to believe he was born in Hawai’i; can you imagine what will come next? Your posts are ..right on…. Keep ‘um coming!

Would JFK or Johnson have honored George Wallace at their inaugurations. What about the KKK. They would have marched beautifully. Yea, bringing people of different philosophies together will mend all fences. Get real. Obama invited this guy because he feels the same and besides, those evangeical votes will come in handy in 2012. He began his campaign with The Gospel Tour, conducted the Faith Tour, courted the religious zealots. Maybe he believes in it, maybe he’s just a politician that has assumed you’ll fall for anything. Lots of you already did. Has everyone gotten their Montel Williams Coin Sets? Better hurry, they are minting a limited collection. Only 20 million or so. They’ll be worth as much as $25.00 in 50 years. Maybe $5.
