BF2S Forums Oh No! The new President of the US is Irish.

36 million Irish Americans.. Considering how much this country used to hate the Irish, man they sure did thrive..lol.

hahahhahahaa

I loved my Grandad when he was alive, whenever anything remotely Irish came on the tv he would start waving his bony old hands about shouting "Feckin' Irish, useless buggers" etc, funny thing was, he was Irish...

I've got gaelic in me somewhere, Scotland rather than Ireland, but my name is descended from German.

Mine blood runs in American military history(you can see why I find war interesting and originally wanted to be in the military), I also am the great(not sure how many greats) grandson of Lord Leonard Chase who snuck into North America during the American Revolution and changed his last name to Sargent(first name I forgot). I also derive from an Italian family who owns a vineyard.

For even more "isn't that just special" points; as near as we can tell, my family has had soldiers in every conflict the USA has been in since the country started.

Same here pretty much.

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

You don't believe me, I hear you say
But Barack's as Irish, as was JFK
His granddaddy's daddy came from Moneygall
A small Irish village, well known to you all

Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama

He's as Irish as bacon and cabbage and stew
He's Hawaiian he's Kenyan American too
He’s in the white house, He took his chance
Now let’s see Barack do Riverdance

Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama

From Kerry and cork to old Donegal
Let’s hear it for Barack from old moneygall
From the lakes if Killarney to old Connemara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
From the old blarney stone to the great hill of Tara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

2008 the white house is green, their cheering in Mayo and in Skibereen.
The Irish in Kenya, and in Yokahama,
Are cheering for President Barack O’Bama

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

The Hockey Moms gone, and so is McCain
They are cheering in Texas and in Borrisokane,

In Moneygall town, the greatest of drama, for our Famous president Barack o Bama

Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama

The great Stephen Neill, a great man of God,
He proved that Barack was from the Auld Sod
They came by bus and they came by car, to celebrate Barack in Ollie Hayes’s Bar

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

sure, it satisfies me...you are the one talking about how fascinated we would be by your family history...but you cant even remember who/what/when/where.

i had figured you had all this info somewhere that you would share with us all...hell, i thought you were going to drop some bomb like john browning was your grandpa or something...

generalities suck for this kind of thing.

I only know a little of my ancestry. But my grandpa was a U.S. Navy sailor in world war 2, he joined at the age of 16.

So was my grandfather, infact he was a frogman (WWII version Navy Seals) and he helped found the Navy Seals.  My other grandfather was in the Korean war.  Other than that, I can't remember most of my family ancestry but I don't expect any of you guys to be fascinated by it.

This weekend I'm going down to Florida to watch a Navy Seal demonstration in honor of my grandfather and 4 Navy Seals who were killed in Afghanistan.  I'll post some pics of the demonstration when I get back.

I don't mind learning about your ancestory, don't care for other people's opinions.
