Barry Of Moneygall

So in the wake of the Queen's visit, President O'Bama is now in Ireland, planting trees and tipping a jar with kin in one of Moneygall's two pubs. The president's mother's family are from that Offaly village. No BIFFO jokes, please.

You'll recall I made a very nice and generous offer to the Queen when she was in Ireland to host her at this year's Kansas City Irish Fest. To date I have had no response from Her Royal Majesty. For the time being, I'll leave that offer on the table. But let's get the lead out, Highness. You of all people should know that manners and etiquette demand a prompt reply. What were you, born in a barn? Meanwhile, I'd like to extend the same offer to our Irish American president: free tickets, t-shirts for him, Michelle and the girls and Snug passes for the family/ Secret Service guys have to buy their own. Furthermore, since he's the most powerful man on Earth and all, I'd like to invite Mr. O'Bama to be a judge in our annual baking contest and to do the band introduction for Eddie Delahunt. Those are the ingredients for a great weekend right there.

Mr. President, enjoy your brief visit to the ancestral homeland. I look forward to hearing from you.
