  • @EmeraldIsleStar It was a "Great, iconic moment" because he's black. And now he's the first black president, that's all well and good. The problem is, that's the only reason he got elected. The majority of people who voted for Obama were completely ignorant of his ideology and what he was actually promoting, which was and is big government. He's the most big government president we've ever had, and if you haven't figured it out yet, government is not the answer. Ron Paul is the answer#beinformed

  • obama has more english ancestry than anything else

  • Our political parties in Australia seem to be controlled like Obama and hundreds of other countries. This massive shadow elites are truly ruling and we need to wake up. To many events around the globe dont make sense, the lies spun by puppets and most know its not right yet do nothing. Just question, ask, WHY? you know things aren't right, carbon tax,economic meltdown, wars, famine in countries that have no oil,gold or diamonds, its all engineered and we walk on eggs. Time to say NO MORE.

  • He's a controlled puppet such a shame.

  • @MegaRupertBear

    At least you're not professing to be Irish, or more Irish than everyone else, and badly representing us by embracing the gross misconceptions about Ireland while being ignorant to all of the other aspects, such as the Irish language. I have a French surname, but I'm not French and have no association with france, so why would I call myself Franco-Irish. So I myself have nothing against you, in fact I respect more than those who try to bogart and pervert our identity.

  • @garytow Yup, you're a nobdy if you ain't part Irish. You can tell by the smug sense of being wronged whilst dishing it out.

  • Islam roots

  • @mwillis1000 To be quite honest everyone in the bloody world is part Irish.

  • @ritchloui

    True, i am half Irish myself.
