guiseppe - This man is a joke! There are those of us that feel he should never have been elected in the first place. It has nothing to do with a "lack of civility", its about giving a person the most important job in the US when that person does not have the ability or experience to do it. There is so much riding on this position but, Obama took one look at the job description saw that travel was involved and applied. Little did the well intentioned citizens that voted for him realize that the hope and change he chanted about was a load of BS.

I'm stunned by the lack of civility of some of the comments made regarding President Obama. Lord help us.

Maybe he shouldn't bother flying into ireland at all and just go straight to Britain hardly seems worth our while going through all this for just five hours

AAAArg Doc. The paranoids have taken over the computer room and are hammering away with the caps locked. Up the antipsychotic meds quick.

IF THE IRISH ARE LUCKY, HE WON'T COME AT ALL. HE IS THE MOST EGOTISTICAL, SOCIALISTIC, VACATION-LOVING, CONSTITUTION-IGNORING STUFFED SHIRT THAT HAS EVER BEEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT AMERICA AND HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT IRELAND. HE LIKES THE POWER AND PRESTIGE OF THE PRESIDENCY OF THE U. S.

YOU ARE BLESSED THAT HE WILL ONLY BE THERE 5 HOURS. HE IS JUST USING OUR TAX DOLLARS HERE IN USA TO GET FREE TRAVEL. HE IS THE WORST PRESIDENT THE USA HAS EVER HAD AND DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE WELCOMED IN HIGH FASHION IN IRELAND OR ANY OTHER PLACE FOR THAT MATTER. HIS HISTORY OF BEING IRISH DNA IS FUNNY...WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE WAS BORN HERE IN USA. HE HIDES SO MUCH FROM US AND DOES TOO MANY THING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. MAN(HE)TALKS WITH FORKED TONGUE. BEWARE! HE IS MUSLIM AND IN BED WITH HAMAS....KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND PRAY THAT GOD IS AT YOUR BACKS.

I'll see your Queen and President Obama and raise you a Prince Albert of Monaco.

Well, the 5-hour stop over 'visit' sounds about right. It's commensurate with Ireland's place in the World and the US pecking order. A debt-ridden third World country off the North West coast of mainland Europe desperately seeking attention and financial aid.

How much is this useless 'Vacation' costing We the SHEEPle? Why do we tolerate, and pay for, this hogwash?
We don't care! Sad, but true....

If Obama's plane takes off late from Washington DC he may have to sacrifice the 5 hour Irish visit and fly direct to England. Is a 5 hours visit worth the effort?

I think it is a waste of money and an insult to Ireland. You would do all Americans a favor if you kept him there.

He has lost favor in the USA with the intelligent citizens! No further comment.
