The
head doctors in a lunatic asylum have a meeting and decide
that one of their patients is potentially well. So they
decide to test him and take him to the movies.
When they get to the movie theater, there are 'wet paint'
signs pointing to the benches. The doctors just sit down
but the patient puts a newspaper down first and then sits
down.
The doctors get all excited because they think he may be
in touch with reality now. So they ask him: "Why did
you put the newspaper down first?"
He answers: "So I'd be higher and have a better view."
Yup. Barack Obama, 44th President of the good old
USA is as Irish as Bono. His great-great-grandfather came from Moneygall

To celebrate, we present the song 'There's No One as Irish as Barack Obama',
sung by Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys. It became an instant big hit on
YouTube, getting nearly 400,000 views in the first two weeks.

Irish!
So get practising! To help you out, here's the words
of the song:
