4. Keep the day job, Mr. Pres. Actually he is part Irish.
A relative in the Dunham branch of the family... I think the name is Kearney.... settled in Indiana in the mid 1800s.

6. Okay, I'm saving this for St. Pat's day.
That happens to be my birthday, and an O'Bama reminder will just do the trick nicely.

Thanks!!!

7. None of that dancing resembled Riverdancing
or any traditional Irish dancing for that matter.

11. My daughter and her pals won the North American Irish Dance championship ...
... in a certain category, several years ago, in Vancouver. Great fun.

Real Irish dance has the hands down at the sides, not flailing all over. The story goes that the priests in Ireland used to come and peer inside the windows of the church recreation halls to see if any dancing was going on, and they could only see the hands down at the sides, not the feet flying, so all was well! :)

It's the spirit that counts, and Obama has that in spades. May the wind be always at his back (not to mention ours)!

15. Very good, Jackeens!
But even a glimpse of Mr. My-Ego-Is-Bigger-Than-All-of-Ireland Flatley makes one cringe :hi:
