don't give a damn about his color, he could be green, or neapolitan for all I care. He scares the daylights out of anyone with a clue. The independants have dropped him, democrats (other than progressives) are jumping ship also according to every poll, blacks also are becoming less enchanted with him. Not that I'm loosing sleep over it ,obummer just signed a trade agreement w/ japan iceland & norway. Now hollywood & all the eco & save the nuts are pissed. The N word is for you seano...NUMBSCULL

A giant among men who scares the living daylights out of the GOP. His intellect and commonsense is twisted by them, they
denigrate him because they cannot come to terms with his colour.They still use the N word in private. No guts no glory and morally bankrupt.

obama aka barry sotoro. A story about the making of America. english- african trash trying like hell to destroy America as fast as he can. Celebrate him? I will celebrate him when he is out of office and has been exposed for the freedom hating socialist muslim that he realy is. Don't forgey his communist mother. His education paid for by arabs. He spends millions to hide his history from the world until his evil plans are completed. He will NOT succeed.

One of my Irish ancestors was Presbyterian, another Methodist. Both left Ireland in the 1750s. Piedmont North Carolinians can count many protestant Irish in their ancestry.

You are 1K% correct.....he will only visit Ireland if it makes political sense (votes).
He himself says he is an African-American......not Irish- American or Irish-African.
I for one will take him at his word......just like he told the Egyptian official, "I am a muslim!" As for racism, is he uniting his adopted country???

Most of the U.S. is not against him. If you listen to Fox news, you would think so. Can we just leave religion or ethnicity out of it? Most of us wanted to see the troops brought home from Iraq. He was the only candidate that promised to, and he has done it! Some of you have no idea what that means to us.

If most of the U.S. is against him and his Chicago thugs, why should we glorify him ?

Obama is a muslim from africa.
he will not release any records of his personal life to the American people.
he relies on flunkies and asskissers to protect his image.
if he were legitimate, he would come clear about his history.
the very first thing he did as president was sign an executive order sealing all his personal history.
what is he afaid of?

At least President Obama doesn't claim to be Irish, unlike a great many Americans, whose connections with the ould sod are tenuous to say the most. One "I'm Irish" colleague told me he thought his ancestors came from Donegal and said, "Isn't that near Cork?" Come on, who cares where one is from? What's important is whether one is a good person and is doing a good job. That's a claim that President Obama can clim to make without question.

Did ya notice only the Irish are claiming the "smidge" of Irish blood in Obama. Don't hear the English, German or Belgian nations Jumping on the kinship bandwagon!!! I wonder why. Please STOP the nonsense about him being Irish. Write somthing interesting or positive about real Irish people.

This article makes clear how deep his Irish roots run - in fact I'm willing to bet they're more genuinely Irish than the wingnuts posting hateful comments here. They shouldn't be so sure they'll have a victory in November when people have ample opportunity to see what a bunch of narrow minded racists they really are.
