There’s No One as Irish as Barack O’Bama
O’bama vs. McCain! The Kenyan-Irish and Scots-Irish are taking over America!
Plus this tidbit from a recent New Yorker article:
“Obama’s relations with some of his black colleagues from Chicago were dreadful from the beginning. On March 13, 1997, Obama introduced one of his first pieces of legislation, a modest bill to make a directory of community-college graduates available to local employers. There was a response from Rickey Hendon, a state senator from the West Side of Chicago who had been close to Alice Palmer. After Obama explained his bill, Hendon, who has dabbled in film and television work, earning him the nickname Hollywood, rose to ask a question, and the following exchange occurred:
HENDON: Senator, could you correctly pronounce your name for me? I’m having a little trouble with it.
OBAMA: Obama.
HENDON: Is that Irish?
OBAMA: It will be when I run countywide.”
This was back in 1997…

O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama
You don’t believe me
I hear you say
But Barack’s as Irish
As was JFK
His granddaddyss daddy
Came from Moneygall
A small Irish village
Well known to you all
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There’s no one as Irish
As Barack O’Bama
He’s as Irish as bacon
And cabbage and stew
He’s Hawaiian he’s Kenyan
American too
If he succeeds
And he has a chance
I’m sure our Barack
Will do Riverdance
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There’s no one as Irish
As Barack O’Bama
