Tiny Irish village prepares for Obama’s visit to ancestral home

Dont go gcreideann tú leathcheann seo ag teacht go dtí ár hÉireann .... Obama chuir na Stáit Aontaithe i bhfiacha den sórt sin agus scriosadh an ecconomy domhain sa chruth nach chuala riamh sa stair. Is fuath Mo chairde Mheiriceá air mar an ráta fíor gan obair i anois le 20%, thart ar 60 milliún duine sna Stáit Aontaithe an chuid is mó riamh agus go gcoinníonn sé ag fás. Ciallaíonn sé seo go bhfuil níos lú postanna le linn na hÉireann chun dul go dtí agus díreach a dhéanamh níos deacra dúinn. Tá sé ina leathcheann agus puppet é. Tá sé díreach anois Thosaigh cogadh eile gan aon bhagairt ar na Stáit Aontaithe ná na hEorpa. Tá sé ag glacadh leis an seasamh céanna mar a rinne Bush agus a deir go bhfuil sé ceart go leor???? sucks sé féin agus nach bhfuil ach sé ag Meiriceá tarraingt anuas ach tá sé ag tarraingt na hEorpa agus na hÉireann leo .... Ní féidir teacht go tapa go leor 2012 .... Impeach air ANOIS! Roinnt áit sa Chéinia, tá sráidbhaile ar iarraidh é leathcheann!

Well,it,s pretty nice for him to be acknowledging somewhat his Irish heritage from his poor,late white mother,because the majority of the timde,Obama just refers to himself as being an "Afro American".When he does that,he seems to completely forget about his dear white mother,that it,s only his black Kenyan father who really counts!So.it,s really nice to hear him acknowledging his mother,s white side for a change.

Don't let him near or tell him about the Blarney Stone, or two more will be out of a job, his teleprompters...............he speaks like he is watching a tennis match.

ROSEMARYKELLY: They were invited, so don't worry about Ireland - after all, it could be worse: you could be coming too!

I see this page got spammed by Teahadists and Freepers. You can always tell when that happens: they're always rude, racist and angry.

So this where idiots gather.

At least Obama isn't all that warm towards the british terror state.

Dearlyinaz, Clinton left no surplus, there was a projected surplus, there's been no surplus or even a balance in over 100 years. As long as we are making comparisons, the Obama led deficit in just January of this year was more than any year in our history. Come down to earth, his presidency is a train wreck.

I think it's cheap political spin, he's not exactly Irish on a par with Ronald Reagan or JFK, as both had the map of Ireland on their handsome faces. Nothing about him speaks of Ireland, and speaking of speaking, he evidences little pride in his white mother or grandparents. As for pride in his Moneygall roots, can you imagine him dropping in if he were not the president, he's pandering and he will have more security agents and news people around him than you have residents. Best to avoid him, his profligacy might be catching.

"Michelle, don't I have a distant relative from (fill in the blank)? The girls would love to go there. It would be so cool to fly over on Air Force 1. I could make a speech and put down the US. They would love us there." Obama can return to the US and go on The View or Leno and show his vacation pics.

Enjoy your vacation, Obama! Better you're in Ireland then in the White House... From Brazil to Ireland... Is there any other place your family wants to vacation on the American taxpayer? Obama is so out of touch with American values. Careful what you wish for Ireland... he may move there. (and to think I voted for him...)

Two things.... dearlyinaz is drinking too much koolaid!! And I'd suggest that Ireland keep nobama but I love the country too much to stick that to them. Maybe he should try a visit to Japan and try to get them out of this horrible state they're in.... and it might take him several years to do it!!! Yay!!!

To all the Obama haters: Bush took us from a balanced budget to nearly 1 trillion in yearly deficit spending. Two wars, Part D drug plan added to Medicare (and a cost of 60 billion per year)- and he cut taxes. Brilliant! Now Republicans have their excuse to privatize Medicare and Social Security, so they can give those billions to Wall Street. Obama inhertied a mess that won't be cleaned up for years to come. Meanwhile, stupid Americans vote for Repubs like the governor in Wisconsin who screw the middle class and give more tax cuts to billionaires. Wake up, America!

Cheers & a pint to ye, Irishmathair! I agree! Keep him, cause he has more Gall with our (taxpayer Money) than any other President ever!!So this town's name fits him to a tee!

Poor Ireland - having the Queen and Obama in the same month.....
