I know that some people tried to accuse the president of being Muslim.
I think that nonsense has finally run it’s course.
But, the other day I went to a local camera store that sells used stuff and I sort of like to hang out there and look at the cameras.
It is in the heart of the city, and there is graffiti everywhere. Everywhere!
Occasionally it is fun to take a few minutes and read the graffiti.
One interesting graffito read as follows-“Make O’Bama be the King!”
Is everybody wrong about the president’s heritage?
Is it possible that he is Irish?

Oh great, just what we need: a re-birther.
PS: I think Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is Irish, too.
Some people consider both Bono and Obama to be messiahs, so it makes sense. Plus wouldn’t it be great to see him Bar-acking out with U2?
His last name, Obama, comes from his Kenyan father, Barack Obama, Sr.—And Sr. got his last name from his father, Hussein Onyango Obama.
I have no problem with Obama being Irish, but I just doubt it. His Kenyan ancestry dates back fairly far.
He is Irish on the maternal side. He had a great great great grandparent:
“Falmouth KEARNEY was born about 1830 in Ireland and died 21 March 1878. He immigrated to the U.S. on the ship Marmion on 20 March 1850, along with his sister Margaret Cleary and her husband, William.”
Obama’s mother Ann Dunham was Irish.
No, he’s good at basketball.
@cockswain Haven’t you heard of the Boston Celtics?
Name one Irish guy on that team.
Pat Burke and Marty Conlon.*
*Irish NBA players.
Yes and it’s also possible that Ru Paul isn’t gay.
Is it possible that the birthers are African?
After all, homo erectus called this his home.
and they survived hundreds of thousands of years
Yeah, some evolved, some didn’t.
And what is this now? Ha’ ye n’er heard of the Black Irish? Pace, King Philip of Spain and his darlin’ Armada! Barry O’Bama! Now bounce ‘im me boyos! He’s a menace to any decent republic!
