No Irish Guinness for Obama as he opts to bring his own

Clinton didn't have Guinness!!! he had Murphy's which many Stoutconnoisseurs consider a better one. It seems that Murphy's got the Publicans of the bar which normally serves Guinness to take a keg of Murphy's & serve it to Pres Clinton. I think it showed he was drinking Murphy's on the news reports..

Can't believe the ignorance of some people posting. The Secret Service make all decisions in relation to the president's safety, including what he eats and drinks. Someone queried as to whether he brought his own food to the diner in Washington that he was pictured at. No, but I assure you that prior to his unannounced arival Secret Service agents were monitoring everything that was happening in that kitchen. A hospital in Dublin and whichever one is closest to Moneygall will also be provided with supplies of O'Bama's blood type, over which a SS agent will watch over until he is out of Irish air space.

suzandpej... Some more of that "FOX NEWS" fair and balanced stuff

President Obama seemed like an honest Abe before he reached the White House. But once inside its hallowed walls, he allowed himself to be influenced and guided by the Ruling Class: Billionaire Barons on Wall Street; Power hungry Egotist at the Federal Reserve who steal the American Joe and Jane's dough to fill the coppers of their Greedy moronic buddies on Wall Street; Power hungry parasites who own the Military Industrial Complex and put their money in the God they trust, on the billions of American Dollars they have in the banks on Wall Street. I'd say President Obama is allowing the wealthy landowners (not all of them Americans) to sell American, the land of Liberty, down the Swannee River. Where once Hope reigned over everyone, where Truth stood tall, where Honour was virtue that lit the light Freedom, and where Justice was once a Birthright, now only the Greed and Avarice count, and Reality shows -with Egotists like Donald -the duck- Trump rule the land and fool the multitude. Amen!

He has relatives in Kenya that live in poverty -- he should pay them a visit !

Obama's Irish roots are just like those of the platinum blonde. Twelve percent of the American electorate is Irish, according to Irish Central, with the number of African-Americans about the same. In quid pro quo, what has he given to the Irish other than ostracizing Caroline Kennedy who is the real heart of the Irish in America.

An honest drink for an honest President? Oh come on! Don't you read anythng at all about Chicago and Illinois? I live here! There's no such thing as honest politicans in Chicago - or in all of Illinois for that matter. Study up on our last 3 governors!! In jail or on their way! Nothing honest in this guy. People in this country laugh when they hear "politican from Chicago!". Remember the guy who went to the hate-filled black church? Remember the Mrs's comment about how, for the first time, she felt good about America? Pffttt...they are a joke.

I think he should stay home and work on the problems here - or is he on some huge fact-danger-mission? Ha!

Obummer is a sanctimonious, arrogant scumbag!

Micky 74007,...Well said!!

KerryAbu.... Well said. And I'm sure the people of Co. Offlay will make President Obama feel very welcome and at home.

WHY ARE THE IRISH MAKING SUCH A MAJOR THING ABOUT BARRYS VISIT.DO YOU REALLY THINK HE GIVE A S--T ABOUT THE IRISH. HE IS LOOKING FOR THE IRISH VOTE!!!

HIS ANCESTRAL HOME IS (KENYA) PLUS FROM WHAT I HEARD HE DRINKS (RIPPLE WINE)

President Obama's visit to Ireland has give the country a lift, which has been so badly needed. The President drinks the Honest brand of beverages, especially Black Forest Berry, which is an Organic and Freetrade range of non-alcoholic drinks. I am sure Hayes's Bar in Moneygall will have a stock of Honest Beverages on their shelves to greet the President when he calls in, on his visit to his ancestral home. "An Honest Drink for an Honest President".

Sounds like Borgia paranoia!
