What a waste of money. I can think of better way to spend money than having a photo taken with Obama. I did not vote for Obama and I will vote for anyone but Obama next November.

And we (Americans) should care why? We are only happy he is over there because if he was here he would be spending more of our money. Which we don't have now thanks to him. Ireland please keep him!!!!!!

Enda should write a personal cheque for the $12K and be done with it. A non-story.

You three are more than dolts - eejit is more apt! SecretCelt - your lack of understanding of the US electoral process is telling. I hope you don't own a passport as you would embarass us - stay at home, do not leave the US.

And having their picture taken with the worst President in US history will help them exactly how?

Great. Obama is figuring out ways to tax the IRISH to death, too. Sorry you guys - most of us didn't vote for him, and we have no idea how he got into office, except by the votes of the dopes who want handouts for the rest of their lazy lives...
