Fresh off their discovery of Rev. Al Sharpton's slave ancestry and ties to Strom Thurmond, Ancestry.com has just announced that they have found traces of Ireland in Barack Obama's family tree.
According to their research 19-year-old Falmouth Kearney, Obama's third great grandfather, sailed from Ireland, landing in New York harbor on March 20, 1850.

insert hilarious Black Irish joke here
I bet shortly before he is to meet with B'nai Brith or another such organization, it'll be "discovered" that he has Jewish blood as well. Then Hillary's handlers will find a 2nd source of Jewish blood for her bloodline!
Is it supposed to be O'Bama then?
Politician discovers Irish ancestor in time for St. Patrick's Day.
It's sure getting complicated. I'm still trying to figure out who the "Real JFK" is going to be in this 2008 election.
YEAH, Right Obama is as Irish as John Kerry is. Rolls eyes. Of course I suppose Obama is more Irish than Hillary...
Oh for Pete's sake. The only thing missing from this guy's 'ancestry' is a Chinese albino!
This is so funny! If there were a German-American holiday, he'd have German ancestry, too. And if there were a Rumanian-American holiday, he'd be Rumanian as well as Irish and German. What a joke!
Except for the undeniable fact that Obama knows more than 100 words.
Bono has the most limited vocabulary of any singer I've ever known. Take a listen to a U2 song and see. Each song has maybe 25 different words, just mixed up in various ways.
That's because Chinese Albinos are notoriously selective about with whom they breed.
(But when he goes to Texas, I bet he'll find he's related to Johnny and Edgar Winter.)
Research this closer, he must be related to the Kennedys.
People should always call him barak HUSSEIN obama.
Or maybe that's supposed to be "Foulmouth Kenny."
i wouldnt be suprised if they claimed he was martioan at this point
Everything to everybody.
He is an everyman. /sarcasm
"Barack Embraces Pygmy Past"
"Obama's Marovingian Lineage: WWJD"?
I knew I saw some red in his hair!! In fact, I bet he dyes it black just to look black. The Irish in him is just unmistakable.
GENEALOGY n. The tracing of descent from ancestors; alternatively, a particular account of such tracing for a specific individual or family. In the English-speaking world, all those who take up this pursuit announce sooner or later that they can trace their descent back to Edward III. This should surprise no one with a rudimentary knowledge of mathematics; there are probably one or two well-bred basset hounds who could also trace their descent back to Edward III. What is really surprising is that Edward III seems to be regarded as some kind of ultimate antecedent beyond whom the genealogist does not venture, even though anyone descended from Edward III is also descended from his father Edward II, and so on. The author can guess only that the prudery of the late Victorian age (when genealogy became a family pastime) chose to draw a veil before the memory of Edward II in view of the sybaritic Plantagenet’s bisexual reputation and appalling death (see impalement).— Peter Bowler, The Superior Person’s Book of Words.
Yes, Bearach(Barry) O'Bama
Just in time for St Patrick's Day.
Knowing how Democrats usually work, I'd be very surprised if the timing of this "new discovery" was just coincidental.
Funny that another FReeper the other day referred to the candidate as "Barry O'Bama." Perhaps he knew something about this revelation in advance.
[cue Everlast-"Black Jesus"]
There is a German-American holiday: Steuben Day. I believe there are still parades in some American cities on that day to honor Count von Steuben's contribution to the American effort during the Revolution.
"..found traces of Ireland in Barack Obama's family tree."
I was right again; I always thought that his real name is Breck O'Bama.
When is it? I'll be sure to celebrate with some pork and sauerkraut. I don't have to go too far back: my paternal grandparents were German immigrants.
OMG....can these people be any more transparent!?
So Obama still has six months to find some German ancestry. Or will HRC beat him to it? (LOL!)
Perhaps Bono should change his name to Bo"no-more-than-25-words". Are you a songwriter, BTW?
You're right. "Top O' the "Moor"nin' To You"...
That will make him the second most famous Black Irishman ever, next to former Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott.
Barack Hussein Obama prances forward in his newest secret identity--- the Lepre"Khan"...
Until I see him in a drunken fistfight I'm not buying it.
HOLY SHIITE!!!
Next we'll find out his Ancestors fought for the Confederacy!
Any more demographics we can hit???
Well, first he was Abraham Lincoln, then George Washington, then a slave owner, a Southern Baptist with an accent, and now he's an Irishman.
Since Hillary claims to be JFK, I guess his only alternative is to be whoever Rich Little decides he should be next...
Not a songwriter - just something I noticed a long time ago when my hippie friends were trying to convince me to like U2.
