Obama is IRISH. This song is infectious and should be sung across the land. I'm dancing a jig.

Sent to me by a friend in Pennsylvania.

Wish they played across all the radio stations in the land.

8. :'-) When Obama visits Ireland...
He's going to draw a crowd as big as the one for his inauguration. We generally like American presidents, Bush being a major exception (he was too unpopular to appear in public). Obama is going to get a 'cead mile failte' - a hundred thousand welcomes.

17. Filmed at the Starry Plough no less...
I used to wash dishes there... (pure nepotism... my father knew the owner from back in Tehran... Irish-Iranian...)

I think most of the world will be doing a jig if Obama wins. (Knock on the wooden plate I've had surgically installed in my head...)

Cheers.

24. You still see a lot of pix of JFK in Ireland, hope the next time I go Obama 's pic is there too
I think I saw more pix of JFK than of the pope when I was in Ireland and that's really saying something. I'll bet they embrace Obama just the same :)
