Obama Irish: Give the Man a Guinness!

Senator Barack Obama has said, "I've got pieces of everybody in me," and dude wasn't kidding.

O'Bama is running for President of the United States (my dead hamster could do a better job than our current President and Administration) and genealogists have been wading through his gene pool and have uncovered Irish roots....just in time for St. Patrick's Day this Saturday, March 17.

This is how it went down: On March 20, 1850, a 19-year-old farm hand named Falmouth Kearney landed in New York Harbor from famine-wracked Ireland. He went to Ohio to live with relatives, married and had eight children. Three of his daughters married brothers in the Dunham family and one became Obama's great-great-grandmother, according to Ancestry.com.
Obama's Kansas-bred mother, Ann Dunham, married a Kenyan student named Barack Obama in Hawaii in the 1950s.

GET THE MAN A GUINNESS! Oh, and an Irish Car Bomb - those things are yummy!
