During the whole presidential election thing, many people picked up on the small detail that Barack Obama was an African American.
His rival John McCain was not an African American. People claim that some members of the American population would hold this against Mr Obama. Others though would embrace the change and vote for someone who didn’t bang on about a war he was involved in last millennium.
Now, this may have been deliberately kept back from his campaign, but Barack Obama has Irish roots! Granted they are ridiculously diluted with his great-great Grandfather living here, but so what! The UK now has a watered down link with him and it’s all been put in to a song that sounds like it was all improved by a man drunk on Guinness. Enjoy.

Ireland and the UK are different countries, but both have drunk men enjoying Guinness!
I’m just so very very tired of this. Obama is only 6.75% african american. 50% caucasian and 43.25% arabic.
He’s about as African American as Jay Leno.
Do you people ever read a newspaper? Ireland has been independent from the UK since the 1920s. 1920s! Seriously. There was a war of independence and all. This might be confusing to you people so I’ll break it down.
There is an ISLAND called Ireland. A land mass.
There are 32 counties (think STATES) on this ISLAND.
26 of the 32 = the Republic of Ireland. (Re-pub-lic)
6 of the 32= the state of Northern Ireland (Part of the UK)
Arabic? What the fuck? Is this like some weird numerical analysis based on the number of letters in “Hussein”? You moron.
This ironic because Ireland is one of the most racist places in the English-speaking world. If Mr. Obama had taken a walk through Dublin, Ireland last year before he was well known, he could have had people spit at him, use the N-word and tell him to f*** off back to his own country. All on the public street, with nobody acting outraged. Yes I’ve been there and I’ve seen it.
My head hurts.
and i’m not going to listen to that, if i wanted to listen to a brit slurring through a song like a drunk i wouldn’t have been ignoring oasis all these years
Who shit on Vanessa’s cupcakes?
no, it’s based on his heritage.
A well-researched and supported analysis of his lineage no doubt.
Since you appear to be dumber than a bag of hair, do you think you could do the honorable thing and OD on opiates the way your fat fuck hero Rush failed to do? Thx.
You know, it’s not even that I mind you hating Ragheads or Niggers or whatever inspires you to post this sort of idiotic garbage, it’s the fact that you think that I, like you, will automatically swallow whatever rancid jizz comes out of the cock of conservative talk radio hosts.
It’s insulting. For you to think that I am both as stupid as you and share your fucking retarded prejudices, makes me feel bad about myself. Am I putting out the “lobotomized stupid faggot” vibe?
You know what? I’m not going to let this get me down. It is painfully obvious that Chez is fucking stupid, so why should I assume that he is better at measuring people than he is at critical thinking?
Nope, gonna file this cognitive-deficient turd away with the rest of the fetal alcohol cases and instead hope that Muslim President Hussein orders him deported to Guantanamo on January 21st.
You are so well spoken Gir that no one could do anything but take you seriosuly. How about you do some research, although there might be big words involved that mom has to help you with. I in fact voted for Obama, but after researching both candidates and making an educated choice. I think his heritage is and was misrepresented and I think that’s a shame, he doesn’t have anything in his heritage to be ashamed of. The media and the people that could benefit from him being an african american simply because he’s a little dark are the ones that have been throwing that around in an uneducated manner.
Can you even attempt an intelligent debate? Swearing? Name calling? You expose your own level of education and intelligence. I’m cognitive deficient? Are you actual seriously saying that followed by the word “turd”?
You’re an idiot. You toss out some nice little percentages cribbed directly from a radio show, and expect that I’m going to just accept it at face value? You don’t want intelligent debate, you want me to swallow your ridiculous conclusions based on dubious premises without argument. Well fuck you, I’m smarter than you are. And I don’t say that to insult you, it is a purely empirical fact. Insulting you is just a nice side benefit.
It makes me laugh to hear you say that you researched the candidates, as it is obvious to anyone with a modicum of sense that you are pitifully incapable of even a modest amount of critical thinking. You can’t even get your pulled-out-of-Kenneth-Lamb’s-ass figures correct, numbnuts.
God damn, but you are stupid. Whether you agree with my points or not, ignoring them in favor of criticizing the language I couch them in is a fucking pussy move. Faggot.
ooo and you came SO close to almost sounding intelligent there. Blew it at the end. At least you didn’t use the word “turd”.
Put up or shut up, you stupid faggot.
I was rather delighted by the turd actually.
My money is on gir to win the virtual fist fight thats brewing…
There is racism in Ireland, sure, but they’re quick to represent for their hometown boys.
As for him being Arabic…..
uhhh, yeah… I would love to hear where this comes from.. is it, as gir asks, numerology based on “Hussein?” Because if that’s all there is to it…dam.
I mean, he’s named after his dad.
If you know anything of the history of Africa, you know that a great deal of it is Muslim; Muslim influence is all over the continent, and Hussein is an incredibly common Muslim name. Ever met an Indian “Patel”? Yeah, there’s millions of ‘em.
His father was Kenyan and his mother was all white… no real room for any actual Arabic blood there sorry K.
Ok, some of you are taking this a bit seriously but I can tell you, down under in Australia, we just think this song is hilarious! I mean, c’mon, it’s pretty silly and if you can’t laugh at a drunk Irishman… well, you need happy pills!
>> “There is racism in Ireland, sure, but they’re
>> quick to represent for their hometown boys.”
Hmm. You say that like it’s a good thing.
Now who’s being racist? This singer does not in the least bit look or sound drunk to me. Or are we making assumptions that he’s Irish therefore he must be drunk? Sounds like typical British propaganda.
Sally – a proud Irish-Australian.
…he said turd….hehe
turd as in one half, one turd, one forth, one fifth
oh for that one fifth scotch.
