Seems here lately my Monday's are not what they used to be.
- Now me and the president have something else in common: we've both drank Guinness in Ireland.
- The president's grandpa's grandpa came from Moneygall, Ireland. As the story goes, "Falmouth Kearney, the great-great-great grandfather of President of the United States Barack Obama, emigrated from Moneygall to New York City at the age of 19 in 1850 and eventually resettled in Tipton County, Indiana.[7] Kearney's father, Joseph, had been the village shoemaker, then a wealthy skilled trade. Indeed the whole Kearney family emigrated to Ross County, Ohio in the first half of the 19th century."
- My great grandpa was born in County Donegal.
- Say what you want about all the accomplishments of the Obama administration. His stimulus, health care reform, killing bin Laden, all are something any president would covet. But his speech outlining Israeli and Palestinian peace, I think, will be his most talked about moment. Call it a turning point if you will. It's refreshing to see a president just come right out and state obvious facts about the way forward.
- 25,000 plus turned out in Dublin to hear the president. That's a huge crowd in Ireland in case anyone is wondering.
- Law enforcement officials are stating evidence links DSK to the sexual assault of a hotel maid. Hummm, wondering what evidence that is. Just what American's need. Another blue dress moment.
