Barack Obama has been forced to leave Ireland early due to fears Airforce One could be grounded by a new volcanic ash cloud blowing down from Iceland.
- A White House spokesman confirmed that concerns over the ash cloud from the Grimsvötn volcano forced the presidential entourage to make a swifter than expected exit from the Republic.
He had been expected to stop off Tuesday morning at Glasnevin cemetery en route to the airport to pay homage at the crypt of Daniel O'Connell, in an acknowledgement of the 19th century Irish nationalist leader's role in opposing the slave trade.

At least he didn’t have to use that old one about “having to scoop the poop.”
The Democrat fat-cats in Rhode Island really at that one up.

Oh golly gee!
Does this mean his zeroness won’t get to to go to the UK and meet with QEII?
Does this mean he won’t get his second nose rubbing in his own **it in less than a week (Bibi was first)?
The Lord is watching over Britain.

Maybe he can go back to his "ancestral home," in Kenya, daddy's birthplace, to
the tiny village of Alego, where his stepmother lives in the "ancestral home," and
revisit relatives and see daddy's grave again.

I wonder if MO will touch the queen again? We know Obama won't flub and bow as he only bows to communists and turban wearing kings.I am so tired of him embarrassing the US. He is a nightmare. Will he claim he is british?Like he thinks he is a Texan with a cowboy hat when he goes to TX?
