Irish- American and Irish are two different things entirely. I felt she was very gracious on her visit to Ireland. Whatever this is abut Irish Americans in Chicago...I can tell you, here in Chicago, you never hear anything about Hynes or Madigan's "Irishness", probably because they are American. At least Daley visits Ireland on somewhat if a regular basis. Sounds like this book is a bunch of hooey.

michelle doesn't dare utter her true fellings on her
and hubby's real and powerful masters. Both, jump when
told and they'll ask how high? They who spotted Obama early
as they did with Billy Clinton, another one of their manchurian candidates.

Was disappointed with the O'Bama's abbreviated stay in Ireland last Spring, due to Icelandic ash cloud (?). Spent more time in the UK. Maybe their ealier experience of Irish-Americans 'coloured' their opinions of Ireland and the Irish? Still, a fetching photo of Michelle squaring up against Irish boxer Katie Taylor in the Irish Independent was good. Don't know what it is, but foxy femmes fatale African-American women move me deeply - wow!

Who really cares what Michelle Obama says? This time next year Barack and Michelle will be packing their bags and moving back to Chicago.

And so all that the Irish philanthropy by said "white" Irish Catholic families has done is given an African agenda the ability to lock up power for it's own racial endeavors. Time to stop endorsing the knife in your back. The black political power mongers are the worst at endeavoring by racism..but you will have to defeat your own notions of yourselves as benevolent comrades "fighting the same battles" to see that...It is a myth to be used subversivily ACCORDING to these minds...their only schooling is in manipulating the media and perceptions to avoid resistence.

I guess she forgot about Jesse James Jackson who hashad the black community in Chicago in his grip for decades.

Mrs Obama is dead right! Time for people to realise they are American not Irish and start considering the majority of Americans instead of their Irish american mates.

I wonder if any of this has to do with moving St. Patrick's / shamrock ceremony to Tues the 20th? They are doing a good job of losing independents such as myself. Through out history, the one thing we Irish do .. is vote.

More muckraking...besides, as one who grew up in the Chicago area I will tell you that if you know a Daley or Madigan, you can get things done. Go against them, and forget it. Just look at the fact that Mayor RJ Daleys nephew recently got away (literally) with murder. His dad was as crooked as they come...Michelle Obama has done more good in 2.5 years than Laura Bush did in 8...

The book and the photo selected of Michelle both are suspect at this time and Daley is gone! Papa Daley was a despot!

They have a perverse perception of power that originates from a Mario Puzo novel...But they want it so bad they are willing to make it real...It is no coincidence that the Kennedys were murdered off by this Black agenda...Murder is never a coincidence...it is the obsession of those with a want for power.

The Irish...
Be they kings, or poets, or farmers,
They're a people of great worth,
They keep company with the angels,
And bring a bit of heaven here to earth..................
God bless us all....no worries...we've fought the good fight forever
