Obama's Irish roots found to be Protestant - Telegraph

New research has traced Mr Obama's maternal family tree back to his great-great-great-great grandfather Joseph Kearney, a well-to-do shoemaker from Moneygall, Co Offaly, who lived from 1794 to 1861. Mr Obama's roots were uncovered by Canon Stephen Neill, a Church of Ireland rector, who found baptismal and marriage records in the house of a late parishioner, Elizabeth Short.

He's an Irish-Scottish Black Muslim Christian Working Class Yankee from Hawaii who has been to Harvard.

It's tragic that he's not also gay and a former fighter pilot, but I suppose you can't have everything.

As Maher pointed out one night: "Oh, Congress looks like America -- we've got blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and whatever else is in Barack Obama."

Oh, quit your whining. We gave you Boston, didn't we? ;)

Actually, one of my family members has an old (very old) sign that used to hang over a pub somewhere. It reads "No Dogs or Irish". It's hanging in his garage somewhere. Being partly of Irish descent, he gets a kick out of it.
