Opposition mounts to Obama’s short stay in Ireland

Its cheaper for the US to have him overseas, He costs billions more when he screwing up in the white house..He ia like a Bull in a China shop. Ireland hide your wallets and cover your ears, He is a thug that is full of Sh*t!

I suggest President Obama visit his own country more often. Seems he spends a lot of time abroad. Or, does he suffer from A. D.D ?

And how much is this trip going to cost the American taxpayers? He and his wife are truly enjoying spending our hard earned dollars. Mr. President, stay home and and take care of our country.

Give the President a break, seriously. He may need a bit of time to unwind while in Europe. I suppose its all down to where he feels safe and comfortable !

His five hour pop-in speaks volumes as to erin's importance in the scheme of things.

He will spend lots of his taxpayer's borrowed dollars here -- 'tis the only benefit.

Jdl2269 and IAPRINCESS, no need to shout, it does not make your comments more impressive.

How are the Americans going to manage to do without their leader for five hours.A repeat of what happened at the bottom of Mt Siani, maybe....Welcome to Ireland Mr President.Just hurry back home and lead those fat burger ass losers back to the promised land. P.S Mr President.About those tea party folk, yes sir same as the K.K.K

YOU ARE SUCH A DISGUSTING BUNCH OF COMPLAINERS.WHERE ARE YOU MAKING YOUR LIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one Irish-American that did not, and will not, vote for BHO. If he stays longer then 5 hours you better check your pockets to make sure your money is still there. He's robbed us blind already.

He's welcome to drop by for a pint anytime!

Of course he is welcome to drop by...we need the tourists and the press coverage about something other than our flakey banks. Why we need to be indelibly associated with a beer brand I do not know.I hope he doesn't feel the need to hang around in bars. I seem to recall Mayor Bloomberg getting quite a lot of criticism for the same sort of presumption.

SeamusMor:You're a strange person indeed!!!!!! Towngate, I hope you are not serious.

It's one of Obama's stunts.... he just wants to be begged. He was probably planning on a longer visit the whole time. Please Ireland - Don't be fooled by his charm. This is a just a ploy for the Irish American vote. Everything he does is calculated. He didn't even know he had Irish blood in him... until his 2012 Reelection People told him this would be a good way to get the 40 mil. Irish Americans to vote for him.

I can see by the comments, none of you voted for Mr Barack Obama. SeamusMor, for a minute there I though you were talking about America, you eegit.
