It is truly an amazing picture to see President Barrack O'Bama treating people with respect and comradeship.
This is like what much of the rest of the world is like. The United States has completely lost this honest and positive feeling.
It is the first comment many of my friends who are visiting Australia, New Zealand, and even southern Europe state upon return. What a wonderful nation of people.
I for one will follow Obamas truly genuine love of people.
Our President is indeed amazing. The press hides him from us. You have to go all the way to the back pages of this news site to even find out anything about the Obamas in Ireland. Please let the media know that you are not pleased, as I have done , that they cynically, and I believe with evil intent, hide our President's accomplishments and genuine love for all of us from the public. SHAME to the media! Please go here to find out the truth and the news about our CIC:

I am a very Proud American of African and Irish ancestry! And this photo op is a wonderful way to celebrate the genuine black Irish! Yes, we do exist!
I am Irish and truly delighted that Irish/African ancestry is being acknowledged. We were delighted to welcome your President and First Lady to our country. They are a beautiful and warm couple. They received a proper Irish welcome. Sorry for the weather
