Yea, it makes his vowels get all jumbled.

Only if you are Welsh.


Oh Lybia, Oh Lybia, the encyclopibya .....

See how banging on the podium affects?

Libya...

Obama is Welsh?

Yep from that kenyan part of Wales

At least we found out where all the hope went.

This administration just gets more depressing by the hour.

Suddenly it all makes sense...

B. H. O'Bama is Irish, everyone knows that.

Records unearthed in Ireland reveal that Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama can trace his ancestry back to a shoemaker in a small Irish village, according to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times.

Obama's campaign had no comment Thursday about the report, but Chicago Alderman Ed Burke told the newspaper he wasn't surprised.

"I could tell from the very first time I saw him — he's got such a way with words," Burke said.

A Church of Ireland rector scoured files from the church dating to the late 1700s, and confirmed that Obama descended from Moneygall, County Offaly, the newspaper reported. The village today holds little more than a couple of pubs, shops and a Roman Catholic church.

Canon Stephen Neill, from a nearby town, began delving into Obama's past after a U.S. genealogist told him about the possible connection, the newspaper reported.

As soon as he won the election the Irish would have started the bid process to choose his ancestral home.

Mind you, there are a few black Irish-Americans out there...
Eddie Murphy and O'Jay are two that spring to mind.

Idi Amin was a Scottish King...

What is depressing? Do you still have a thing for Kaddafi. The age of Aquarius has passed. More to the point it never was except in the minds of some on the left.

I am not try to be offensive, just asking.

One need not like Khadaffhi to question and/or criticize this latest move. Indeed, Obama said we are not their to effectuate regime change.

Man, Obama looked and sounded bitter ...and that podium was too high. I think he was trying to pound it down to size.

I think Obama has a big ego and becomes angry if anyone dares to question his judgment. Indeed, I think most politicians do.

Sure, Obama has a big ego. And as you say, most politicians do. And the higher up the politicians get, the bigger the egos become.

How could they not? After all, "I'm the person who should run the institution that governs your lives" is not a claim likely to fall from the lips of someone with low-self-esteem issues.

But much of it is just theatrical bluster. If you're not a good actor, you won't make a good high-level politician. A job that requires constantly taking center stage is not likely to attract many wallflowers.

In the end, the most useful skill a high-level politician can possess is prestidigitation. Get people to pay attention to what you're doing with your left hand, and they won't notice what you're doing with your right hand.

We're not seeking regime change in Libya. We weren't going to do nation-building in Iraq. Hell, we were never even going to colonize the Philippines.

Just keeping watching the shiny ball ....

While most have big egos, I think some pay more attention to consensus building while others prefer to govern by decree. In the recent past, Jimmy Carter is an example of the former (and Ford and Reagan to a certain degree), Obama of the latter. IMHO, a president should always try to be a consensus builder, but few have the patience or inclination to do it.

Consensus? LOL

There's no consensus at the supper table let alone an entire nation...
