lol. why would ireland allow that muslim scumbag to set foot on irish soil. biggest piece of shit liar ever. if he's irish, i'm a fucking piano tuner. it will be nice to see his ass disappear in september.
Its good to see an honest person in Ireland. Compared to the politicians in Ireland, Americans need to cut Obama some slack. You'd laugh if you saw how corrupt things are in Ireland. The fact that he is even believable and looks like he knows what he is talking about is a major step up from politics in Ireland.
He's corrupt as they come. He's a walking bullshit machine who is very good at looking like a believable person, when in reality everything he says is lies and empty promises.
The fact that he looks legit is worse because the people who actually are believable don't get the recognition they deserve because people are so enamored with him.
@bellatrixthechicken Corruption is defined as being guilty of dishonest practices i.e. bribary, lacking integrity,. Im sure he has enough pride not to do any of these. Empty Promises and Lies ar the same thing but atleast he had the audacity to give hope to others. He took charge when things were going down the drain, ofcoarse all the promises wernt going to b fulfilled, but its just part of being a politician, every now and then u gota do something that mightnt aggree with your principles...
Well you would think wrong. He's a product of the Chicago machine. And he literally went back on 4/5 of his promises, including ones like "no secret meetings with corporate lobbyists" "troops out of iraq in 16 months" and "guantanamo bay shut down"
Also he has accepted hundreds of millions of dollars of campain contributions from banks, especially ones that received the most bailout money.
The Republican and democratic parties are corrupt as hell.
@JoyceyX It could be worse than speaking in Ireland. He could be in England (where those poor dumb bastards backed dishonest and mentally challenged George Bush's personal war on the people of Iraq).

Dear Ireland, I would like to apologize on the behalf of my nation that you had to endure the presence of my nation's leader. Will you please forgive America?
@GremlinsAndGnomes A lot of us got really caught up with his presidential campaign here (didn't help that Bush was extremely unpopular in Ireland, as where his oil wars). Add to that the fact that our economy is in shambles so we could use the extra publicity of a presidential visit, the fact that we don't get US Presidents here often and that Obama has roots here, made for an interesting day. US Republican politics doesn't translate well in Europe so he's easier to stomach.
@Hellfryable Bush didn't have "oil wars". The United States invaded Iraq because Al Qada flew two planes into the Twin Towers and Iraq is where most of their operations were. I also don't see why people like Obama as him and the U.S. Congress are both terribly incompetent.
@thereforeimustbegod Says the moron. The invasion of Iraq has everything to do with 9/11. Go get educated before you decide to criticize America defending itself. By the way, if America invaded for oil, where's the oil, and why have we stayed to help support their government and promote the liberties of the Iraqi people?
@GremlinsAndGnomes Al Quida didn't have a big presence in Iraq before the invasion. The causus beli for the invasion was Saddam having weapons of mass destruction, which later turned out not to exist. Iraq posed no threat whatsoever to the United States, and this was backed up by the fact that the US couldn't get a UN mandate to support them. The US was the aggressor in that war, to say otherwise would be like saying Poland was the aggressor when Germany invaded it during WW2
@Hellfryable There was no invasion of Iraq for oil. It was invaded to to the Al Qada presence there, And we don't need to invade Iraq for oil because our biggest supplier is not the Middle East, it's Canada. Al Qada was actively involved in coordinating a puppet political party in Iraq that was also the dominant party, this, combined with the high possibility that Iraq had nuclear technology, was sufficient reason to invade. We were acting in the best interests of everyone in the Free World.
@GremlinsAndGnomes But they didn't have weapons of mass destruction - that's even accepted on the US side now. And Al Queda had nothing to do with Saddam, and Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. The Ba'athists where a secular, pan-arab party with a semi-socialist bent, Al Queda is a radical Islamist organization with a fundementalist, right wing bent. The only thing in common with the two is that they are both authoritarian in nature. There's no evidence they where linked...
@Hellfryable Assuming you're correct, answer this please. Say Nigeria is believed to have nuclear weapons, and a terrorist group believed to be controlling the Nigerian government has just bombed Dublin International Airport and killed 3,000 civilians. Are you going to let Nigeria be or take preemptive action to defend the people of Ireland from highly probable nuclear attack?
@GremlinsAndGnomes I'd want to make damn sure they actually actually had nuclear weapons and wanted to use them against us before I threw money and lives at it, especially unilaterally, destablizing the entire region. It was that part where Bush went wrong, Iraq didn't have WMD's. Also, the Al Quieda launched 9/11, not the Ba'athists. Again, there is absolutely no evidence that the two are connected (about the same amount that suggested Iraq had WMDs). The premise was false
@Hellfryable All our evidence pointed to Iraq developing nuclear weapons and motive to use them. Our country has 300 million people, and we won't risk their lives making absolutely sure our evidence is correct just so Europe can pat us on the head. And in our country, we certainly don't ignore it when foreigners endanger our country. I'd think the Irish of people would understand considering how long you had to fight the British for you freedom.
@GremlinsAndGnomes But your evidence was wrong - which your government even admits that there are and were no WMD's in Iraq. Therefore your entire reason d'etere for being there was false - surely you must see that? This isn't about patting anyone on the head - this is about US and Iraqi lives lost, and a region destablised because your government lied you into a war you had no business being in for the sake of Haliburton etc. North Korea does have WMD's - why no war there?
@Hellfryable As I stated earlier, Iraq was developing nuclear weapons and Al Qada had strong power over the ruling party in Iraq. If you don't want to believe the truth, then so be it. But as I said, America doesn't like to play nice with aggressive nations just so Europe can pat our head.
@GremlinsAndGnomes Where is the evidence that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons? So far, nobody has found any evidence that such a programme exists - not the weapons themselves, no research facilities, nada. That was the reason given for going to war, but nothing was found. As for aggression - what country exactly is more militarily aggressive than the USA on the world stage at the moment? Which of them are involved in more wars? Iran is next on the list for god's sake"
@GremlinsAndGnomes The Irish fought the British back then because they where occupying our country against the democratic will of the people and posing a real threat to us. Baring in mind the fact that there isn't a shred of evidence that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11, nor did he have WMD's - did Iraq or did Iraq not pose a threat to the national security of the United States? In what way?
@GremlinsAndGnomes The man is a hero and an Irishman; as he's the Moneygall Obama! Our country loves him. Hate him or not, the bond between Us (Irish) and American's is huge. That point that President Obama raised cannot be doubted.
@RoryRuFitz What point did he make? I didn't want to watch a 24 minute video of HIM, speaking. And he's not much of a hero. Wining the Presidential Campaign hardly qualifies as heroic, and he's SOCIALIST! All they want to do is take hard earned money from others. It's half a step above communism.
@GremlinsAndGnomes No, Socialism is taking money from the greedy rich bastards who think they owe society nothing.
Obama went up against some with the brand name in American politics, i.e Clinton and as a black man with the name Barack Hussein Obama and became president of the free world. Credit where credit is due.
@KeithD194 Becoming president as a black man isn't that hard. Racism against blacks is essentially dead and gone with in America, in fact, many people voted for Obama because he was black. Also, socialists are always making the mistake of mixing society and government. Yes, the rich should share their wealth with the needy, but it is not the governments duty to force the rich to do that. And, socialism NEVER WORKS. How is the economy of Ireland doing? Or the Greek? Or the Spanish?
I am a slick CON-MAN with alotta rich people behind him who have covered my illicit past- I NEVER miss an opportunity for the TV spotlight because my likeability covers my CRIMINAL past and people ignore my multiple SSN's and the FORGED birth certificate- EVERY word from my mouth is a LIE- I am the most secretive of ALL presidents- Every part of my past has been hidden or destroyed at great expense- I even surrendered my LAW license to avoid investigation- I AM THE BIGGEST FRAUD OF ALL TIME-
@HarryOrielly On the birthcert - is there anything he could do or show to convince you he was born where he said he was born, or do you suspect he is Kenyan because he is black or because it suits your political perspective? Also why are you capitalizing certain words?
@Hellfryable 5 top forensic document specialist have examined the (PDF) he presented on April 27th & declared positive FORGERY- Mara Zebest has written over 20 books on ADOBE software and claims definite FORGERY- Paul Irey has been a typesetter specialist for over 50 years and says that 6 different typewriters werwe used on the PDF file Obama presented as real- This is irrefutable proof of FORGERY- HONESTY has NO color but neither does FRAUD-
@HarryOrielly And this comment is fucking fantastic, I can't believe you "I don't like authority so I'm going to deny facts and embarrass myself on the interenet, believing one set of shit with no evidence but choosing to ignore actual facts" conspiracy retards are so fucking gullible. Confirmation bias.
@thereforeimustbegod your argument is NOT with me but these 5 forensic document specialist who declare Obama's birth certificate (PDF) to be a cut & paste FORGERY-
Opium of entertainment, shallow and boring even the sad sacks jedward apparently showed up, what a laugh....Obama reneged on Guantanamo Bay, allowing people access to bills before being passed, Israel and the Palestinians, bombing Pakistan far more than bush 2...he is a big disappointment and I have lost all respect for him..

I really do love the way Obama expresses himself! He should be an example to all of what a great speaker should be like. We can learn alot from him.Very very gifted man. :)
the middle east does a good enough job killing each other.. horrible people in a horrible society where women are treated like inferior citizens. at least in the us everyone has rights
Stop murdering babies and ill have a little respect for you. What a shame on Ireland to allow this man to speak in dublin and a shame on those who supported it. 2 million dead in the middle east in ten years and counting.
F... yes, but c...? I didn't know that once the Irish went to Kenya and mated with baboons. Charming animals, anway... no one is more Irish than them ;-)
America is the new England, we are horrible imperialists with an apathetic populous. Obama was supposed to bring about the change we wanted, but he doesn't really have any power. Don't give him too much praise, people of Ireland. If he was really your friend we'd probably stop occupying other countries and fight imperialism around the world. You don't see that happening do you? We are the new England and the middle east is our Northern Ireland. Don't give us applause, not for one second.
@garfrankwyn we dont know what obama does or does not do in america, but he was very welcome here in ireland, however i agree with u, his main reason for coming over here was 2 secure the irish american vote!!!
love obama compare that to bushs visit loads of protests to bush forgein polices on iraq obama got the welcome he Deserved in ireland hes the best soundest president since clinton and jfk love obama hope he does get relected in 2012 he inpires people during the tough times especially he gives people hope obama always welcome in ireland again
my fav president of EIRE was Mary Robinson. She saw the suffering in Africa and couldnt hold back her tears. That is what u call a human. And not a statesperson of a nation.
@alastarter true. he done in 2 years what bush couldnt do in 8 years which was get bin laden. for 3,000 families he insured that all those families got there justice for there loved ones who perished on 9/11
Thank heavens that awful blob Cowen wasn't on the stage, and equally thank heavens that President McAleese was there with her experience to handle the visit. Can you imagine the images of the likes of Mary Davis with her awful teeth standing beside Obama outside the Aras? I really hope the Irish people have the courage and conviction to elect a Head of State that looks and speaks as well or better than McAleese. Choose carefully. And whatever you do, don't support thick-headed baldy 'dragons'.
Who gives a fuck if this is just to get the Irish Catholic vote in America? He admitted himself in the speech that he would have used it when he was a junior politician.
This speech made a country proud to be who they are in times of turmoil and trouble. Thats whats important about this.
@baniez1 - The Northern Part is still politically part of the UK. There are strong divisions on both sides, on one side, Nationalist, mainl Catholic, who want it to return to the Republic (though with the last corrupt lot we had, I wonder why they'd want to now) and the other Side, mainly Protestant, who want to remain in the UK. Its not as simple as I describe and it would take too long to explain it fully. There is still some trouble there but not as bad as it was. Life goes on as usual.
I'm not Irish but I've been living here for almost 3 yrs. What I can say about this island and its people is that Ireland is stunning. There is no place like Ireland. Their history and their friendly people can teach the world how to do peace. For me this is the land of peace.
Proud to be an American with Irish blood in my family tree. Going to ignore all the pricks who are talking shit and just say that it's cool that Ireland and the US are down with each other. Loved Ireland when I visited years ago and want to get back.
Obamas a wanker. He's like 3% irish and has considerably more English blood in him, along with a tiny bit of German and Scottish apparently (but still most his European blood is English) but he goes to Ireland to celebrate his apparent irish ancestry. He's just doing it for the irish catholic vote in the north-east USA.
Well I know most deep south folk won't buy his shit, most folk are scottish and english protestants down there anyway.
@MrWhosurdaddy09 Just look up his ancestry online. Every source i've looked at from google search suggests his ancestry is much more English than Irish.
@EnglishNationalist13 you do know scots are descendent from the irish right? just putting that out and every person on the british isles that is white are all descendent from iberians about 89 percent the rest are saxons and scandanavians.Where all related.
When he pauses, he's listening to reminders of the next piece of his speech, by an inner ear device that whispers each clause he momentarily forgets. Look closely. How else does he speak so eloquently without ever fumbling, without reading a prompt. Think about modern hearing aids. This is a hunch, but I dare you to watch him and notice the rythm: Well-rehearsed, infallible language... pause.... More well-written speech... pause... and so on.
Rhetoric Bullshit. G. Bush was a pathetic public speaker, Obama is only slightly better. Watch JFK in Ireland to see how he gets a crowd. Overall, the'yre all bad.
@Bynkers83 only republicans right?..no... people envy anyones success, and hes not exactly the most popular guy incase you haven't noticed cuz he pissed away the states.
I see a lot of fighting in the comment thread of this video, and I wish that weren't the case. I hope people remain focused on the spirit and intent of the speech: Is Féidir Linn! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Is Féidir Linn!
I love President Obama. Love him, love him, love and admire him. How does he do it? How does he consistently stay so positive amidst the pitiful, sad haters in this country?
@alegreone how?! cause he the new warmongering guy that runs the planet!!!!
they always seem to know what to say to uplift people that are looking for positive words.
I cant understand that humans havent learnt from the past- hitler, stalin, bush's etc were all men of the year, what makes people think that its all changed for the better?
I can understand that you listening to hitler now makes you scared but to his people back then he was what obama is to the new race of sheeple,
what a load of shite..... go back to where you came obama.... the likes of you make me sick... 40 million votes in next election are of irish roots.... you vote chaser you!!!! go home to the USA.... and stay there ........ leave us alone ......
lol. why would ireland allow that muslim scumbag to set foot on irish soil. biggest piece of shit liar ever. if he's irish, i'm a fucking piano tuner. it will be nice to see his ass disappear in september.

Add to that the fact that our economy is in shambles so we could use the extra publicity of a presidential visit, the fact that we don't get US Presidents here often and that Obama has roots here, made for an interesting day. US Republican politics doesn't translate well in Europe so he's easier to stomach.

@Hellfryable Bush didn't have "oil wars". The United States invaded Iraq because Al Qada flew two planes into the Twin Towers and Iraq is where most of their operations were. I also don't see why people like Obama as him and the U.S. Congress are both terribly incompetent.

@thereforeimustbegod Says the moron. The invasion of Iraq has everything to do with 9/11. Go get educated before you decide to criticize America defending itself. By the way, if America invaded for oil, where's the oil, and why have we stayed to help support their government and promote the liberties of the Iraqi people?
GremlinsAndGnomes 2 months ago
@GremlinsAndGnomes Al Quida didn't have a big presence in Iraq before the invasion. The causus beli for the invasion was Saddam having weapons of mass destruction, which later turned out not to exist. Iraq posed no threat whatsoever to the United States, and this was backed up by the fact that the US couldn't get a UN mandate to support them. The US was the aggressor in that war, to say otherwise would be like saying Poland was the aggressor when Germany invaded it during WW2
Hellfryable 2 months ago
@Hellfryable There was no invasion of Iraq for oil. It was invaded to to the Al Qada presence there, And we don't need to invade Iraq for oil because our biggest supplier is not the Middle East, it's Canada. Al Qada was actively involved in coordinating a puppet political party in Iraq that was also the dominant party, this, combined with the high possibility that Iraq had nuclear technology, was sufficient reason to invade. We were acting in the best interests of everyone in the Free World.
GremlinsAndGnomes 2 months ago
@GremlinsAndGnomes But they didn't have weapons of mass destruction - that's even accepted on the US side now. And Al Queda had nothing to do with Saddam, and Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. The Ba'athists where a secular, pan-arab party with a semi-socialist bent, Al Queda is a radical Islamist organization with a fundementalist, right wing bent. The only thing in common with the two is that they are both authoritarian in nature. There's no evidence they where linked...

@Hellfryable Assuming you're correct, answer this please. Say Nigeria is believed to have nuclear weapons, and a terrorist group believed to be controlling the Nigerian government has just bombed Dublin International Airport and killed 3,000 civilians. Are you going to let Nigeria be or take preemptive action to defend the people of Ireland from highly probable nuclear attack?
GremlinsAndGnomes 2 months ago
@GremlinsAndGnomes I'd want to make damn sure they actually actually had nuclear weapons and wanted to use them against us before I threw money and lives at it, especially unilaterally, destablizing the entire region. It was that part where Bush went wrong, Iraq didn't have WMD's. Also, the Al Quieda launched 9/11, not the Ba'athists. Again, there is absolutely no evidence that the two are connected (about the same amount that suggested Iraq had WMDs). The premise was false
Hellfryable 2 months ago
@Hellfryable All our evidence pointed to Iraq developing nuclear weapons and motive to use them. Our country has 300 million people, and we won't risk their lives making absolutely sure our evidence is correct just so Europe can pat us on the head. And in our country, we certainly don't ignore it when foreigners endanger our country. I'd think the Irish of people would understand considering how long you had to fight the British for you freedom.
GremlinsAndGnomes 2 months ago
@GremlinsAndGnomes But your evidence was wrong - which your government even admits that there are and were no WMD's in Iraq. Therefore your entire reason d'etere for being there was false - surely you must see that? This isn't about patting anyone on the head - this is about US and Iraqi lives lost, and a region destablised because your government lied you into a war you had no business being in for the sake of Haliburton etc. North Korea does have WMD's - why no war there?
Hellfryable 2 months ago
@Hellfryable As I stated earlier, Iraq was developing nuclear weapons and Al Qada had strong power over the ruling party in Iraq. If you don't want to believe the truth, then so be it. But as I said, America doesn't like to play nice with aggressive nations just so Europe can pat our head.
GremlinsAndGnomes 2 months ago
@GremlinsAndGnomes Where is the evidence that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons? So far, nobody has found any evidence that such a programme exists - not the weapons themselves, no research facilities, nada. That was the reason given for going to war, but nothing was found. As for aggression - what country exactly is more militarily aggressive than the USA on the world stage at the moment? Which of them are involved in more wars? Iran is next on the list for god's sake"

In what way?

@GremlinsAndGnomes No, Socialism is taking money from the greedy rich bastards who think they owe society nothing.
Obama went up against some with the brand name in American politics, i.e Clinton and as a black man with the name Barack Hussein Obama and became president of the free world. Credit where credit is due.
KeithD194 3 weeks ago
@KeithD194 Becoming president as a black man isn't that hard. Racism against blacks is essentially dead and gone with in America, in fact, many people voted for Obama because he was black. Also, socialists are always making the mistake of mixing society and government. Yes, the rich should share their wealth with the needy, but it is not the governments duty to force the rich to do that. And, socialism NEVER WORKS. How is the economy of Ireland doing? Or the Greek? Or the Spanish?

@baniez1 - The Northern Part is still politically part of the UK. There are strong divisions on both sides, on one side, Nationalist, mainl Catholic, who want it to return to the Republic (though with the last corrupt lot we had, I wonder why they'd want to now) and the other Side, mainly Protestant, who want to remain in the UK. Its not as simple as I describe and it would take too long to explain it fully. There is still some trouble there but not as bad as it was. Life goes on as usual.

When he pauses, he's listening to reminders of the next piece of his speech, by an inner ear device that whispers each clause he momentarily forgets. Look closely. How else does he speak so eloquently without ever fumbling, without reading a prompt. Think about modern hearing aids. This is a hunch, but I dare you to watch him and notice the rythm: Well-rehearsed, infallible language... pause.... More well-written speech... pause... and so on.
