Happy St. Pat's!

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day I thought it would be good to link back to this BBC story from November that explores President Obama’s Irish roots.

It seems that Barack’s great-great-grandfather, Mr. Fulmouth Kearney, emigrated from the little Irish town of Moneygall in 1850. Moneygall (population about 300) was quick to capitalize on the quirk of history, billing itself as “the ancestral home of Barack Obama” (or Barack O’Bama as they have taken to spelling his name).

Of course they say everyone’s Irish on St. Patty’s day...
