OK.
Were Kennedy's, Clinton's and of course Ronaldus Magnus’s ancestral Irish homesteads transformed into “museums” or “heritage centres”?
This bullsh^t is bordering on a
pedophillic-obsessive-addictive type of lusting.
Maybe some enterprising business person can market an Obama sex doll or phallus to satisfy some of the worldwide cult.

Think I am going to throw up with all this crap! All of a sudden the second black President declares his Irish ancestry that he ignored during the election.

As an adult it didn't appear that Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro was a Christian but I was wondering in what religion was she brought up: Catholic or Protestant? was she an orange or green Irishman.

The land of my ancestors has really gone off the deep end in modern times.It's the land of my ancestors as well. Last time I was there (1997), there was a "heritage center" on nearly every corner in every town (that we visited, anyway, and we went all over Ireland). Definitely "heritage center overkill".

Quite a coincidence: We were there in 1996. Probably not overkill to have so many heritage centers, as tourism is big there including so many from America who are of Irish descent and want to glimpse the old ancestral sod.
From the many things I have read about their politics and their declining church attendance, I am definitely disappointed in the Irish and identify much less with them than I did in my youth.

...we talked about the Shanty Irish, Lace Curtain Irish and the Black Irish....Just for the sake of those reading here who may not understand the term "Black Irish", it referred to fair-skinned white Irish people with blue eyes and black or dark brown hair, as distinct from the stereotype of the freckle-faced redhead or strawberry blonde.
According to Wikipedia, a study conducted in the 1940s of Irish ethnography revealed that "'in the proportion of pure light eyes', data shows that 'Ireland competes successfully with the blondest regions of Scandinavia,' as approximately 42% of the Irish population have blue eyes. Another 30% have been found to possess light-mixed eyes and 'less than 1 half of 1% have pure brown." [emphasis mine]

Dang, I forgot he had an Irish ancestry, I only remembered the Kenyan one...but I thought he was ashamed of his Irish side.

The article linked below details Obama's mother's interests in Marxism, Unitarianism and other non-Christian topics. It was originally published in the
Chicago Tribune, but has since been scrubbed from its web site. The full text continues to exist on several blogs that copied it word for word. Here is one of them:
