Maureen Dowd; Obama happier in Ireland than anywhere else

Obama certainly is not perfect. But Republicans, tea baggers and the rest of the right-wing crazy train now poisoning and destroying America can't even hold a candle to Obama. The man WILL win re-election because the current GOP lineup is packed with bloody clowns, lightweights whose fringe views don't sit well with mainstream Americans. Medicare, hello. Look what happened in NY-26 - a hardcore GOP district. Now NY is totally Dem! Sucks being an Obama hater, huh?

At least he did not screw up in Ireland like he did in England!!

Obama is all talk and no action. He must be an embarassment to the United States after his behavior in England. Even his own party is discusted.

I wonder if I went back to Sligo where my grandmother was born if I would get the same welcome as President Obama.

I will miss deburca. His comments made sense.

@ borefield, Limerick has been doing better, lately. No thanks to your insults. Limerick is a beautiful place, city and all. They fought to the last, during the year after the Battle of the Boyne. Don't insult them!

billyjustin, that you live in Limerick speaks volumes why you think he is the real thing. I am very familiar with Limerick, a city full of thugs, murder, stabbings, drugs and sucides by the dozen in the Shannon. Peace is far away from Limerick. Sober up before you state that he makes sense, then ask him to get you a job. George Bush is not the President any more in case you hadn't noticed. You dare to call us fools?

Of courswe he's happy in Ireland. Anywhere but home. We are a leaderless country. The heartland is suffering it's gfreatest year of disaster and, where is the great one hobnobbing around Europe, who, by the way poke fun at him and look on him as a clown. All of which is true. I also think Obama has been hanging with Bieden a little too much given the sudden proneness to the gaff. But the great Dowd professes him as a God. Well there goes religion. Nuff said..

the reason your broke is because of the last fool you had as president, he started the present war , where all your hard earned money flows, Im in limerick and i found obama is the real thing, at least he talks sense, not like some of you fools ,peace is all we want.. Limerick

@deburca-I unsubscribed shortly after subscribing once I realised that the email was pointless as I had Irishcentral.com saved to favourites anyway.

I am not sure how I got on your emailing list for 'The Best of Irish Central', but suspect it has something to do with my last name. At first I was happy to receive the daily link and found the articles to be brief but interesting. However, after a few days I've realized that your site has become a clearing house for right-wing 'tea party' trolls leaving obnoxious and often offensive comments, so I am unsubscribing. Good luck.

If you people think Obama is so great, then keep him. I would be willing to bet that you would have him on the thing heading west. Obama talked his way into the WH and now he's taxing his way out in 2012. Mamaginnty said it was hatred and bigotry. We do hate him, but it's not because he's black. It's because he's stupid as hell.

Actually, based upon the tbagger comments on this site, it has become a gathering ground for the CHILDREN of the lunatic fringe. None of these people can be adults, at least not full functioning adults.

This site has become a gathering ground for the lunatic fringe.

Such hatred and bigotry.
