PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, NOW AN IRISH TOO?

Laughable, laughable, laughable; indeed, absolutely laughable. Icheoku says what a fluky and fickle world that we live in where people shamelessly make bogus claim to what is not theirs, just for the appearance of belonging? The latest of this fantastical nonsense being the claim by the Irish that President Barack Obama is one of them - yet the president does not relish the bottles? This insidious claim has once again buttressed the saying that a beggar has no town's man or kindred; but for a prince, the generational affinities are infinite. 

Now it is the Irish that have magically and mysteriously established a generational link and heritage to American 44th President, Barack Hussein Obama; claiming that his great, great, great, great, great and great grandfather is from Moneygall, County Offaly, Ireland? Icheoku asks, were the president a panhandler shivering in the cold on a corner-street of Washington DC, begging for some quarters or "any change", would the Irish or Dick Cheney or even his known biological siblings ever identify with him? But what a phony world we live in that suffers fools greatly and where everyone want to identify with the successful, rich and famous while the bums of the world can go on pining away in their lonely, forsaken and forlorn world and you wonder if they just dropped off from the skies. Maybe President Obama should consider changing his name to O'Bamaly, except that the Kenyan Masai warriors will go to war to retain their own claim to the president! Icheoku says, don't mind the latest Irish myth or should Icheoku say, the great HOAX of the century!
