Barack Obama 'comes home' to Ireland
telegraph.co.uk“Hello Dublin. Hello Ireland. My name is Barack Obama, of the Moneygall Obamas, and I’ve come home to find the apostrophe that we lost somewhere along the way.”
Barack Obama is in Ireland
- Enda Kenny presented Barack with a hurl.
- Barack threatened to “paddle” and members of Congress who misbehave with the hurl. ahdgsajfghj
- Then he went to a village called Moneygall, which is in Offaly, the same county as I live in. :D
- He has some distant relatives in Moneygall.
- Him and Michelle spent hours there today meeting people there. People were handing him babies and everything. :L
- They went into the local pub and had some Guinness.
- Apparently Michelle pulled two pints. EPIC.
- They then returned to Dublin, where Obama made a speech.
- I GOT CHILLS.
- HE IS A LIVING LEGEND AND I LOVE HIM.
- ALSO, I WOULD GO LESBIAN FOR HIS WIFE.
- IS FEIDIR LINN.
That is all.
Edit: I forgot to say that when Obama was shaking hands with people after his speech, he shook hands with one woman who was on the phone. She handed the phone to him and he talked to whoever was on the line. MOTHER OF GOD THAT LUCKY BASTARD.
And I’m done.
