"O'bama Boy" - St. Patrick's Day Obama Song ala Danny Boy

[iamslknick78]

Luck of the Irish is how he won. Whoever posted this video is ignorant. "Luck of the Irish" was a derogatory term, to imply that the Irish immigrants couldn't do anything without luck. Obama was lucky, he had white-guilt on his side.

[Flamorgan]

Danny boy is an English song , only the tune is Irish ( Londonderry Air).

[marydonegan]

And he still is a great President....what is it with all these Irish who don't support him.

His visit to ireland should be a hoot...I was there when JFK came.

[Diddlen]

Yea..He turned out great! LOL

[doUcare4music]

HA !

[shnos]

I agree my friend

[tommystros]

finally somebody smart replas to my coment

these stupid people think mc cann of palin would do a better job

[TheIrishway19]

Obama is alri just relax and wait and see he has irish blood so hes not going to con yous into anything hes out straight honest like his brothers across the sea tiochaidh ar la (Our Day Will Come) and Obama didnt start the war but simply just wants to end it

[DarthTigreros62]

I maybe black but I'm so fucking proud to be Irish.

[Niamhie90]

@DarthTigreros62 Aw it's so lovely to see American people proud of there Irish heritage! Míle Grá from Niamh in Dublin,Ireland.

[DarthTigreros62]

@Niamhie90

My last name is Lemon!!!!!!!!!!!

[Niamhie90]

@DarthTigreros62 oh sorry haha! :)

[DarthTigreros62]

@Niamhie90

Sorry for what?  My mother had an Irish grandfather and so did my father.

[Niamhie90]

@DarthTigreros62 oh ok? I thought you said your last name was Lemon as if to say you didn't have irish ancestry? oops!

[MarshalJimRaynor]

This is... this right here is pretty awesome. I like it. I really like it.

[DarthReven83]

WTF? This is definitely a major twist to a classic Celtic song.

[stormmoth]

Heh,well you know what they say, you are either Irish or only one step away from being Irish : D

[breastinspector2]

lol.

[pnapod]

Even though Hillary was my first choice, I am quite pleased with Obama Boy. I think he will make all Americans proud, even the Rushfans (though they may never admit it). God Bless President Obama and God Bless America!

[dandaman58uk]

an my opinion is that he will do a good job. hope im right lol

[crazymandan59]

LOL!! Excellent.

[1963us]

Thanks for your beautiful, candid version of danny boy... I´m a Spaniard writing a story about an inmigrant to America and using some verses of the original lyrics... No wonder your version is going to have an influence in the tale... Congrats

[ObamaSupporter615]

You're welcome! Good luck with your story.

And thanks for all the other nice comments everyone.

Idiotic, racist comments will ALL be deleted and the users blocked.

[Azcidd]

LMAO "the devil's bride"

[dandaman58uk]

no offence but does it realy matter wat race he is come on the fact is it doesnt matter in the end it all comes down to weather hes gona do a good job or not simple as that

[hougSTAR]

Shut up

[rugby2001]

stop being so racist Inm8 its only a joke and a laugh stop mocking irish people

[HuhOhIc]

btw please comment on my "The Annotated Yes We Can"- video.

[HuhOhIc]

I thought the "boy" was in reference to the Obama girl songs, until i actually heard the song, of course! Thanks for this cute tribute to his Irish ancestry. I suppose it's a good thing to be in the "national anthem" for Irish-Americans, like this ! :)

To me the "boy" is not offensive for two reasons, because it's the Danny boy reference, and because he was and is, relative to mccain and clinton, indeed a boy. Luckily, I must add.

Obama is very Irish: oppressed, but wins in the end! ;)

[notiltforme]

Most Americans are, like Obama, mutts with many nationalities.

This is obviously celebrating his Irish ancestry.

Where are some people's sense of humor?

LOVED IT BTW !!!!

[Clemenzaa]

Punkgat0 , if you have it this way, than everybody is everything... there is surely many bloods in each of us, but the quantity is so small that it´s inconsiderable... soooooooo shut up, please...

shilo39: It´s not about where was someone born... but about blood... Mc...? For example Jews also take names and surnames of the natives, but they are still Jews (and they say so)... how come blacks, asians or whites become irish, scottish etc just because they leave there?

[Sunbird123]

Say's who?????

[shilo39]

To Clemenzaa

What are you on about if your Black you cant be Irish. What about Phil Lynott or Paul McGrath. But dont go to Dublin now as there is tons of Black Irish (Born there from the New Black Immigrants) So maybe we will have a Black President Too one day.

[colodude1]

Awesome song! President Obama's mother and the grandparents that helped raise him were white. Obviously they did a good job in raising Barack. I think it's great that his ancestry on his mother's side has been traced back to Ireland...I'm Irish too and proud that our country as a people voted for change and we now have the first biracial President in the White House. Best wishes to President Obama and to his beautiful family !

[Clemenzaa]

Maybe someone didn´t notice, but the guy is black... Irish people are not...

[RaeOfficial]

I'm black, and I'm Scottish. It's called having white blood. His mom was white... where have you been?

[Clemenzaa]

then you are not Scottish... it´s not about the word in your passport but about blood...

[Punkgat0]

omg clemenzaa u´re kinda stupid...Obama´s mother is an Irish descendant, so shut up.

also..u can be black and still have irish, german, swedish blood... "the guy is black..irish people are not"..really that´s all u can say?...sooooo stupid

[RaeOfficial]

Reading is fundamental. :) I'm not an African from Scotland. I'm a Black-American with Scottish blood. Meaning I have white, European, Scottish blood. My father's father. :) Have you never heard of racial mixing before?

[shadyaftermathuk]

idiot, his white side is of irish descent

[ChrisArlingtonVA]

He has Irish ancestry, that's why.

[TheKidDoc81]

He's not just black! He's mixed race. Without the Irish, he could not exist. End of!

[hsavior123]

GOOD TUNE WE`RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

[ObamaSupporter615]

CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT OBAMA !!!

Yes, we did !!!

[sk8monkey300]

mccains more irish.

[ronan32]

mccain is a scotish name

[Scoob505]

McCain is not a Scottish name. McCain or Mc anything is a gaelic name. And Gaelic originated from Ireland into Scotland. Scotland itself means land of the Scots or Irish in Latin.

[theloughreymonster]

This guy knows his shit up the ra lol.

[breastinspector2]

McCain's name sounds more Irish than Obama's.

[RaeOfficial]

mccain is a scottish name. :)

[lybidka]

Beautiful voice and song! Thank you very much.

Elvera in Texas

[ObamaSupporter615]

Thank you.

[ObamaSupporter615]

Thanks man.

[dkhluv85]

that's a cool vid he he, & the singer's voice is amazing; its the kind of voice that suits this song in my opinion.

[em95productions]

do they say a miracle or american is calling?

[ObamaSupporter615]

America is callin' ...

[Postscript624]

Very nice my man.

[mcsabes]

Get ready for the change. Breadlines, rations, higher taxes.

[ObamaSupporter615]

Hopefully, President Obama will be able to ameliorate the results of the disastrous policies of the Bush era.

[cv22osprey]

The entire election disgusted me, but this video made me laugh.

[UndyingSilentm]

Thank you ObamaSupporter615! You brought tears to my eyes. Here you posted this in March, about 8 months ago, and you knew, as so many of us wanted to believe, that we could elect this wonderful, brave and brilliant man to be our 44th President. It reallu, really happened. Imagine that!

[ObamaSupporter615]

You're welcome and YES, WE DID !!!

Please check back in a couple of weeks. We're gonna do another one for the Inauguration - this time without my best impression of an Irish tenor LOL

[tooth1999]

it was...its frm d...a fck i 4get it haha sumtin bou derry haha

[StupidObamacult]

Obama is a commie no true Irishman would be a commie are you fucking idiots retarded Irish Abroad need to invade Ireland and Kick some ass

[RaptorJesus]

No such thing as a True Irishmen or a True Scotsmen dipshit..

[pneumosilico]

Oh dear...

[jumpforjoy6]

god bless the irish. we would be a poorer worlt without them. they keep it real

[lioneater76]

This is a cool video. I've been watching it for a while now, but I had to watch it again after O won. It already bring back memories.

[ObamaSupporter615]

YES, WE DID !!!!!!

[AnimeFascination]

Ohlol. Yay Obama! We're freaking Obamerica now! ...Eheh. That was the cleverest thing I could come up with while doing Chemistry... xD

Anyway, that was super. XD

[theworldturnsdaily]

AnimeFascination:

Putting great Americans on our currency is reserved for after they have passed away. Obama is greater than the others. To mark his presidency we are asking your support to change the line on all our coins and currency from IN GOD WE TRUST to OBAMA WE TRUST.

The Irish spelling of his name will be used to celebrate his Irish roots, which he shares with the three greatest presidents of the past half century: Clinton, Reagan and Kennedy. see: /watch?v=gAKdBhKFMYg

[SaraTheFox17]

GO OBAMA GO OBAMA! HES GOT MY VOTE!

[ObamaSupporter615]

In your view "Clowns" graduate Magna Cum Laude from Harvard, and non-Clowns graduate 5th from the bottom of their 889 member Naval Academy class?

Let me guess who you voted for the last two elections .....

[cpgy2k1]

ObamasSupporter615: That was brilliant! I faved it...I've always loved that tune; and your lyrics were just priceless!!! At the risk of picking at wounds that show signs of healing, I wanted you to know that I took your clever lyrics in stride and salute the wit that fueled your creativity! I posted 2 video responses that I created to inspire everyone to a) vote and b) celebrate. Hope you like 'em!

[ObamaSupporter615]

cpgy2k1

Hillary has been a very effective spokeswoman for Senator Obama. When I made this video she had no path to win the nomination, but was hurting Obama with her barbs, and in my view hurting Democrats.

I can't take out the lyrics now, but just know the Clinton's are out of the dog house in my house. I appreciate their efforts.

Enjoyed your videos

[conormc90]

Obama, a good irish fella

[milkmonkry]

im confused

[Rossdhu16]

Slainte Mo Chara's!

[Publivia]

Great song.

[audacity226]

Beautiful song-tribute to the next president, I wish all americans could join in this one and cherish the moment...we are making history and we are uniting the country.

[ObamaSupporter615]

And thank you for all the kind comments!

Now, we all get to vote. Take someone with you if you can.

GOBAMA !!

[ObamaSupporter615]

Everyone that can should 'Early Vote'. Lots easier.

GOBAMA !!!!

[marymolina]

umm Obama is half white and half black... Just incase you didn't know.

[ObamaSupporter615]

No end to the Savage/Rush/Hannity hate from the nuts in this country. The same nuts who comprise the record low approval numbers W enjoys.

Learn to say "President Obama" and try a different radio station for a change.

GOBAMA !!

[aikighost]

WTF are you on about? I'm Irish and I'll be happy to see O'Bama bring some sanity back to US politics.

[GrammaConcept]

Loves it...!

[midwifecat]

Well, "AZFootPerv"(gee, lovely handle there, buddy), are you unaware that Barack's mom was white, and that his white grandparents helped raise him? He speaks w/ absolute respect and reverence of his mom & grandparents, and often publicly thanks them for helping to make him the man he is. He has genuine Irish blood in his veins (well-documented) from his paternal grandfather's side of his family. I can't imagine why you think he hates white people.

[GradStud28]

Tanks a million! Havin' Obama as President would be just grand!

[thockley]

Brilliant

[tapsbetch]

lmao

[garywolly]

the most positive political add I have seen in a long time. we need a change!

[profMike54]

wow! love it! hugs

[seadaddy66]

The thing to remember here is, he is already the "presumptive" nominee. If the devil's bride ends up with it, it will have been stolen from the guy who got the most votes in every category. That's all!

[riwired]

O'Bama 0'Eight! Yes We Can!

[herb0001]

This is hilarious. As a staunch McCain supporter I love to see the Democrats ripping each other to shreds. :-)

"So first you'll have to beat the Devil's bride..."

[evilmilk]

I'm a total Hillary supporter(& I mean all the way), but this song is pretty damn good. Kudos.

[ObamaSupporter615]

Thanks! I was a Democrat long before I ever heard of Hillary or Barack.

I hope you'll vote Democrat if he's the nominee.

Have a good one :-)

[evilmilk]

I will. I hope you'll vote democrat if she's the nominee :)

[Msescaladeowner]

You have a beautiful voice!!!!

[7conas7]

Need a laugh

Watch our video

" these no one as irish as barack o' bama "

Love from old Ireland and hardy drew and the nancy boys

[keightydidit]

I am a full supporter of Barack...but I am also offended by this video. The song Danny Boy was a beautiful piece, and I feel that this is degrading to the song.

[mizukuu]

shut the hell up and grow a sense of humor, and if you grow a sense of humer that still doesnt like this, do us all a favor and shut up anyway.

[seadaddy66]

"MIZUKUU", I cud not have set it better..and dude, nice acoustic guitar solo on your page!

[dickstarbucksmut]

im Irish but im not offended!

its just satire!

[pneumosilico]

It's part of the culture- songs get given new words all the time. I don't think Danny Boy was the first song with that tune.

[ObamaSupporter615]

Indeed.  The melody is called Londonderry Aire. The lyrics to "Danny Boy" were written a long time after the melody first appeared.

[averynb1218]

Clever.

[7conas7]

hi. barack is irish. watch our video on you tube "theres no one as irish as barack o'bama"

Look at our Video

love from hardy drew and the nancy boys from old ireland

[DereckLamar]

I Think Obama going to need hillary

[Ginkman99]

LOL!!! i love this guy, hilliry sucks!

[mydovesong]

Gotta LOVE it! Obama 08!

[ObamaSupporter615]

Thank you all for the kind comments! I'll be posting some more Obama songs in the coming weeks. I appreciate your comments a lot. I'm so excited about what he could bring to America. Work for him. Make calls. YES, WE CAN !! :-)

Go Obama '08!

[ninunaia]

Hey, Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Thanks for the video

O'BAMA for PRESIDENT !!!

[krinkly]

what do you mean "this country is going to be a mess"? it's already a mess. weak dollar, heading into recession (if not already there), military weakend through repeated stop-loss approach, lopsided trade policies, unfair corporate welfare state, etc.

obama most likely doesn't have the answers, but i'm willing to take a different approach. we're already in a heap of a mess. whoever takes the oval office will face one hell of a challenge. be it obama, clinton, or mccain.

[smh910]

Obama all the way, th country does not revolve around bits and pieces of things the media likes to promote.. he will win for the young and give us change ... love the song...PA mama

[darlo22]

amazing chief classic stuff all of ireland loves obama!

[BeachSaint]

Love it, and I needed to be reminded it's okay to smile. Very pleased you posted it in response to my video. Happpy O'Bama Day!

[dcmusicteacher]

We LOVE the song and can hardly wait for your next creation! Five stars from us in Washington DC.

[dcmusicteacher]

We LOVE the song and can hardly wait for your next creation! Five stars from us in Washington DC.

[ninigreen7]

I like the singer's voice and I love the Irish people I am quite emotional listening to this song and knowing that some Irish people support Mr.Obama-God Bless Mr.Obama he is very special CHEERS FROM UNITED KINGDOM- OBAMA/08

[maceomcclain]

This moment in time will be studied for generations to come. Take heed ladies and gentlemen. A political renaissance is upon us!

Obama '08

[Twinpac123]

That was great AU. Except for the part about the "devil's bride" it could almost be a campaign song.

You're very talented. Thanks for making one of my favorite posters a little less anonymous.

[ObamaSupporter615]

We have our green Obama tee shirts, too! Can't wait to wear them.

As for a Pennsylvania Polka, that might just be arranged. Great idea! Thanks.

[alyceclover]

Usta say 'everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day and I got my O'bama green T with the shamrock. A nice job on the song. What we really need now is a Pennsylvania polka.

[ObamaSupporter615]

Thanks! We have our "O'Bama" T-shirts ready to go for Monday too. We already tried out 2 of them at an early St. Patrick's party.

[ObamaSupporter615]

And since it's to the tune of "Oh, Danny Boy" another word just wouldn't have worked there. 

He's the best presidential contender since Bobby Kennedy, and my wife an I have hoped he'd run since the 2004 DNC Convention speech.

What an amazing young man!

[ObamaSupporter615]

Thank you so much for you comment. No disrespect intended! He's a truly GREAT man we love & admire and hopefully, our next president.

[dethspud]

Erin Go Obama! That some sweet assed shiat right friggin' there me boyo! Spud is luff the tremulous tenor takeoff of the old Irish Classic and just in time fer St Patty's Day too! Woo Hoo! GObama. 08ama '08!

Be Well.

[peacevoter]

5 Stars! I usually object to an accomplished black man being referred to as a "boy". I make an exception in this case.

Lovely song.

Happy Saint Paddy's Day.

Peace
