    Obama ticks a few boxes, being black, American, and Irish. I'd say he automatically got a large portion of the black and Irish voters who vote on whim.

    He is in his S**te Irish, that sort of a statement is as bad as the 'the Irish built America' tripe

    This post on another form gives a quick breakdown of his ancestory, and Irish is just one of many places his family came from

    The heirtage is on his mothers side as his mother is white. His Great Great Grandmother is Mary Ann Kearney and is Irish.

    Did I forget the smilies? Of course he's not bloody Irish... I was taking the piss out of the American "my great-great-great-grandfathers mistresses dog was Irish" crap they tend to come up with.

    Ok, without rehashing two pages of debate (I'm guessing you didn't bother to read it all), the Irish don't deserve any special treatment.

    An illegal immigrant is an illegal immigrant. You can't make a case for the Irish and then suggest that the Irish government should be tough on illegal immigrants in Ireland. At least not an intelligent case.

    I never actually said the Irish deserve better treatment.

    Just saying there is nothing wrong with lobbying for special treatment. Just don't expect to get it.

    I don't think the Irish should get special treatment. TBH, I think the Mexican's should get better treated since their neighbouring countries.
