Eire he is! The Irish Love Obama!

[highlandsflyer]

Obama supped a pint of the national pride, more than the old trout did the other day. Paid for his pint and all!

The genuine warmth he displays and human touch he has shames the dodgy royal tour.

What a president, and more over, what a damn fine man he is.

Good day to be Irish, to be sure.

I think the Bush family have made him look even better.

The fact he can ask for, pay for, and drink a pint unaided shows he has skills that the Bush bunch of chimps never possessed.

I must defend the old trout though. Do you not know she doesn't carry cash?

In all fairness if you served any respectable Lady of a certain age a drink in a pint glass, they would turn their noses up at it. When was the last time your Gran downed a pint at the local?

Post deleted -- I promised myself that I wasn't going to get into politics on the Off Topic forum and I want to keep that promise.

Have you seen the clip of his limo grounding out on the hump in some driveway!? What a clunk! I bet that took some getting off!!!!

Someone is in a whole world of troubleshock - he should get a Range Rover.

He seems like a nice enough bloke, mrs' clinton is a nasty piece of work though I think - no wonder Bill had some fun on the side...

Pretty sure the Queen Mum wouldn't have done so as she was known to have been partial to what I'd call a "proper" drink; apparently Young's Special was a favourite of hers.

Ahhh, the Queen Mum.

Supped many a pint in our pub she did. Used to be a welder.

My best mate was her gardener, just the once he saw her with the gloves off and spied the LOVE/HATE tats. Swore like a fishwife as well.

They don't make them like her any more, the Tories made sure they couldn't.
