Way downplayed. Yet half his family traces their roots to Ireland. And these were the values he grew up with.

If he was 100% white Irish, I believe he'd have more supporters from the right. Way more. Says a lot about them.

My jaw drops whenever I hear them say "He's a muslim"

BTW I have read scriptures and I think that Jesus never abrogated the Jewish dietary laws.

So my question is "does Jesus mean more to you than a slice of pepperoni pizza or a cheese burger?"

" F**k Jesus I want my Carl's Jr Super Star"

Tell me I am mistaken.

And he takes his time to teach a little boy something too.

It is St. Paddys and I am not even drunk yet but these pix make me
choke up ..... in the last pix the only person in the whole world that
President Obama is interested in @ that moment was little Cooper
Coleman. You can not fake the look on Obama's face or the interest
that little boy had in what the President was showing him.

to laugh at the SS. They are soooooo easy to pick out of the crowd. I notice "Bob" hasn't been with the President in quite a while now, maybe on a rotation or something.

He fits right in!

But I'm wondering when these pic were taken, 11 AM this morning?

Or 11 AM Pacific time, after 2 in DC, or wherever he is today.
