Obama tells visiting president: I’m a little bit Irish, too
Posted: 11:54 AM ET

From CNN's Lauren Kornreich

President Obama said he could be related to the Irish Prime Minister.

(CNN) – Everybody’s a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, but President Obama said Tuesday he could lay legitimate claim to that status — and might even have a long-lost link to that nation’s current leader.

It isn’t blarney: An ancestor of the president hailed from the Emerald Isle. While meeting with Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen at the White House on Tuesday, Obama took the chance to recognize his Irish roots, speculating on whether the two men might be distant kin.

“So before I turn it over to Taoiseach” — the Irish leader’s official title — “it turns out we have something in common,” Obama said. “He hails from county Offaly ,and it was brought to my attention on the campaign that my great-great-great-grandfather on my mother’s side came to America from a small village in this county as well. We are still speculating on whether we are related.”

Cowen laughed and said after checking into the matter, he found that the two are not related.

“I just wanted to say that I have checked and unfortunately there are no Kearneys on the electoral register anymore in my electoral district,” Cowen said. “But if there were, I can assure you, I’d have them on my campaign team.”

On the campaign trail last year, Obama — perhaps looking for a little luck of the Irish in the midst of the epic Democratic primary battle — noted on St. Patrick’s Day that his great-great-great-grandfather Falmouth Kearney hailed from Ireland.

“My family's story is familiar to Irish Americans: a distant homeland, a journey across an ocean in search of opportunity, a determination to grab hold of hope. Another reason why the story might be familiar is that it turns out I have Irish heritage,” Obama said a year ago in Scranton, Pennsylvania. “I actually have a great-grandfather who came from Ireland and settled nearby in Ohio.”

Falmouth, I like that name it's like Foul-Mouth perfect name for a drunken Irishman.....

For St. Pattys day I am going to partake in some of the Greenest Emerald Irie land has to offer......I'll be so blarney stoned you might see me on the news tomorrow under the headline "Man seen dancing down streets of Waikiki with shillelagh hanging out"

Today at the White House: Spraying o' the green

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, and at first lady Michelle Obama's suggestion, the fountain at the White House is spraying green-colored water today. White House aides tell the Associated Press it's the first time this has been done:

Fuck St. patricks day

went to a fancy bar with all friends just now and i couldnt get in cause i had no green..and neither did half of the people inside.

Well, I did well. And failed.

I ended up talking to the hottest girl at the bar. No joke, seriously. Anyone on here wouldve fucked her and dated her.

You broke a golden rule of dating

When a girl asks you a question, the only direct answer you should say is, "No".

Otherwise, throw something back at her or change subject quickly and smoothly so that she will still be interested. If you really wanted her, just lie.

Lastly, there's no such thing as "She's the future Mrs." when you meet a girl at a bar. You should know better.

You should have said, "I love Jesus so much I named my dick after him, let's go play hide Jesus in the tomb and watch him turn beer to milk......"

I seemed to have exaggerated a bit. She wasnt the future Mrs. Though I wouldnt had really known. She also didnt walk away in bad terms, but I did say id like to see her again, but no number delivered. I suppose she just figured I wasnt compatible.

I couldve lied, but I know nothing of religion so I wouldve failed tests had they came up.

Ah well. I was pleased to know that I got the girl's attention over other guys.

You should have bounced as soon as she started a conversation about religion in a bar.
