Both michaelidaho and padraiginrua make very good points. Competency and good writing and spelling. Some of youse liberal omadhauns seem to be challenged when it comes to those.

For once this sounds like a good choice for both yourself, Niall, and the Obama. He cannot be all bad if he has hedged his religious bets by not putting all his kids in one basket! Of course, he will be hated by both sides in North-east Ulster,UK.

Who really cares what a person’s race, ethnicity, religion, class, sexual orientation is anyway? Is the person competent? That is what I care about.

This is another in a series of Effete White Males that Obama seems to have an unhealthy affinity to have at his side. How this supposedly "devout Catholic" can square his religion with the most Abortion Happy administration in the history of the U.S. is beyond this Catholic. Obama is the antithesis of what an honorable man should be. McDonough is a Fraud, just like his boss.

"He's deeply Catholic." Sure. That's why he goes to a Congregational church as well as his own of a Sunday. And that is why he allows one of his children to be brought up Anglican. If he visits Ireland, perhaps he can attend Mass with Fr Flannery. They seem to be of a like mind concerning religious matters.

Don't you proofread anything? On one page, he's 6'2", on the other 6'3" and he has 2 brothers priests on one page and one priestly brother on the other. Poor editing
