Obama's historic run heads south

Did his victory in Iowa and strong showing in New Hampshire really "put to rest the notion that a black candidate can't win in America"?

    The problem isn't with Obama being half Black. The problem is that he is half Irish.

    You know what happened the last two Irish presidents? They both got shot. That's why the mainstream media doesn't want to let everyone know that Obama is half Irish.

    Or maybe it's O'bama, yeah, that's the ticket, Barack O'bama. He certainly has kissed the Blarney Stone. John Kerry supports him and he is Irish too. You couldn't help but wonder why O'bama praises President Reagan but not President Clinton. It's obvious, Reagan was Irish. He hasn't been saying bad things about McCain either and whether he be Irish or a Scot, both have been a thorn in the side of England for a long time and they both nations play bagpipes. You will not hear O'Bama speak critically of Huckabee either. That's right! You guessed it, Huckabee is ALSO Irish.

    Clearly something is going on here that the mainstream media doens't want us to know about. That's right, the mainstream media is controlled by the Irish.

    Why else would Conan O'brian have a television program? The Ed Sullivan show debuted the Beatles which led to the rock and roll british invasion, but was it really British? Where does U2 come from? Right, IRELAND! You know that Bono is up to no good with all that do gooder stuff and what other Rock Star advises presidents on global issues? Certainly not Elton John or Flavor Flav!

    America! It is time to wake up and smell the coffee! Just make sure it isn't Irish coffee!

    I am posting anonymously in order to evade the clutches of the worldwide Irish conspiracy as described in the International Protocals or Blarney, but i doubt that any Irish could catch me, for I am a Leprechan!

    HEE HEE HEE HEE!
