There's no one as Irish as Barack Obama
Crank up your speakers


The Barack Obama Irish song.


Moneygall is a small village in County Offaly , Ireland . It has a population of approximately 300 people, has a Roman Catholic church, five shops, a post office, a national school, a police station and two pubs.


President-elect of the United States Barack Obama's great-great-great grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, emigrated from Moneygall to New York City at the age of 19 in 1850 and eventually resettled in Tipton County , Indiana . Kearney 's father had been the village shoemaker, then a wealthy skilled trade.

1. What a fun song
What is really funny about this is that I was sent this video by my RW cousin. I think he may actually be warming up a bit to Obama. I know he hated McCain and his biggest concern about Obama was the fear he would raise taxes too much.

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara

4. Tipton County!? That's not too far away from here.
I bet there's some Irish "Barackbloods" running around here somewhere.
