Ten reasons why Obama’s right and Guinness tastes better in Ireland

Love Ireland, love the Irish, love Guinness! @GeorgeDillon, there was no need for your insulting and uninformed comment - a comment that says more about you than about Ireland.

To George Dillon, whats a scumbag like you doing in Ireland if you don't have time to visit the countryside, you have so much hatred in you, you must drink yourself to sleep at night,maybe you have English Ancestors and they taught you how to hate the Irish, anyway don't come to our land again, maybe where you come from you are not allowed to enjoy life.. Ha ha. Limerick

I think GeorgeDillon is one of Rush Limbaugh's nom de plumes.

GeorgeDillon: The symbols of Ireland are the harp and the shamrock.

I think it has something to do with the water.

GeorgeDillon you are a complete eejit. I could waffle on and call every kind of name but why bother I think eejit is just the right word for you

What contemptible clowns the Irish are. With one of the highest rates of alcoholism in the world, in a country that is violent and riotous with drunks every night, and where you have to pick your way thru vomit on a weekend morning, the Irish turn the visit of the President of the United States into an ad for booze. What disgusting morons the Irish are. If you wanted Brad Pitt to do product placement for Guinness you'd have to pay him a couple of hundred thousand, but the stupid Irish make our President do it for free. One thing I never buy when I go to those cheap gift shops in Ireland is the ugly Guinness garbage they try to flog. What a nadir the Irish have reached, when they seek to identify themselves and their ancient culture by swilling booze and making a beer their national symbol.

The last can of Guinness I had was marked "Brewed in Canada" I guess, since they announced lay offs in the Dublin brewery, Guinness draft will be brewed in canada

IIRC, there also is a difference in alcohol content between Guinness sold in the USA and that sold in Ireland, and indeed in much of Europe. A friend of mine who serves in the US Air Force was stationed in Germany early in his career and found a faux Irish pub he loved. He said a pint was about 8 percent alcohol in Germany, compared to 4 percent in that exported to the USA. He was a young man at the time and I would not swear he was right, but he certainly was telling what he felt was the truth.

I agree with the President. Guinness dosen't travel well
