A song proclaiming that United States president-elect Barack Obama is Irish has got more than 600,000 views on video sharing site YouTube, with many of those views coming after he was elected on November 4.
“O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara, There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama,” states the song. “You don’t believe me, I hear you say. But Barack’s as Irish, as was JFK. His granddaddy’s daddy came from Moneygall, a small Irish village, well known to you all,” says the song.
