What's the scoop here? Songs #1,2,3,&8 are also on the top 10 to avoid on St. Patrick's Day. Are we supposed to sing them or not? As for me, I love them all.

Defiantely the Obama song could be dropped out and replaced by "N17" by the SawDoctors. Tells of a persons desire to be back home, while been forced to emigrate due to a bad economy (PRe-Celtic Tiger, and before this mess).

Barack huh? I guess that's the real "Black Irish." If they dare play that at our parade, I'll scream out,"HEY! THEY'RE MAKING FUN OF THE PRESIDENT!" Then they'll spend the next WEEK apologizing to each other for being racists! (You know I'm right, too.) That'll teach them to try to turn the Saint Pat's Parade into a Democrat Love Fest!

This really makes me sick, when he ran for president he never mentioned that he was half Irish, he also, never mentioned that he was half white, he used the black ticket all the way. I listened to his speeches and it was all about being black now we are naming a song for him.

Barack Obama??? As a GREAT Irish song? Food for thought...if mongrel Obama visited all the countries of which he's an ancestral son, he's NEVER be in Washington to screw up the country!
