It's not surprising but still hard to watch seeing Irish people fawning over President Barack Obama. It does not reflect well on Henry Healy given his new position that he supports a man who authorises drone attacks that kill innocent civilians in Afghanistan. But they're only brown people they don'r have relatives in Moneygall right. http://www.johnpilger.com/articles/history-is-the-enemy-as-brilliant-psy-ops-become-the-news

unF.. believable. His resume was a picture of Obama trying to mend a shoe?

Congratulations Henry!If anyone has ever met Henry they would know he is well suited for this position. Henry is always kind and friendly to everyone he meets. Obama is a lucky man to have him as a cousin.

Murph, Im sure Henry AND Obama are both lovely men but they seem to prey on peoples naivety. Infairness most politicians do anyway but Healy is just looking to make some sort of a name for himself.

Henry is like his ''cousin''! Anything for attention! Carrick, I dont hate Obama, i dont have any sort of an interest in American presidents but he gets a lot of slagging here. We have noticed that when he needs votes, he'll oirish himself up but remember its Americans who give him their vote because of this, it has nothing to do with us! I have no doubt hes a nice man but he really plays on peoples stupidity as did Clinton.

I signed up for the Ireland XO, Ireland Reaching Out, in last few weeks with myself being a second generation Irish-American, plus being of several other Northwest European-American categories. A worthy effort to reach out to the Irish Diaspora is Ireland Reaching Out. I am waiting for negative comments on Henry VIII now working for Ireland XO, which will no doubt will be posted here very soon by folks who hate Obama.
