The Black O'bama Irish Song
Here is a bit of fun for Sunday morning. Truly a delightful song!
The Barack Obama Irish song
Moneygall is a small village in County Offaly, Ireland. It has a population of 298 people, has a Roman Catholic church, five shops, a post office, a national school, a police station and, of course, two pubs.
President-elect 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. Yep --that makes our lad 3.1% Irish!
And now for the SONG...Crank up your speakers and enjoy. (Above text from e-mail forward.)

(Gives new meaning to Black Irish, said someone.)
