Barack Obama has been forced to leave Ireland early due to fears Airforce One could be grounded by a new volcanic ash cloud blowing down from Iceland.
- A White House spokesman confirmed that concerns over the ash cloud from the Grimsvötn volcano forced the presidential entourage to make a swifter than expected exit from the Republic.
He had been expected to stop off Tuesday morning at Glasnevin cemetery en route to the airport to pay homage at the crypt of Daniel O'Connell, in an acknowledgement of the 19th century Irish nationalist leader's role in opposing the slave trade.

Why doesn’t Air Force One just take a detour....over Israeli airspace.
No good Greens there. Obongo is not in to hie Roots.

Guess who was providing commentary on Irish Television.
OUR OWN MAURREN DOWD.
Oh (****) darn... does that mean he’s coming back here early?
Isn’t this the second time he had to change his itinerary because of volcanic ash?
I’m sure he gets angry when natural events put a crimp in his vacation plans. Do ya think he ever wonders about how the “little” people in Tuscaloosa or Joplin deal with it?
Good thinking. He needs to be in England anyway for the important state dinner. If he were to cancel that because of the volcano it would not be good even though obviously not his fault he needs to be in England.
Proof read Cajun, Proof read!
So he travled to Ireland at American taxpayer expense to make a campaign speech?
Interesting point. As if he doesn’t waste enough money. Why is he campaigning in Ireland?
Yes. And is Jarrett the POTUS EVIL WITCH giving federal aid to those that need it after the latest horrific tornados?
Yes he did!
Maybe not...he's going to arrive in Britain a day early . LOL!
As this is a "State" visit, I wonder if the lovely Michelle will add some 'bling' to her cardigans?
Dear God, I am sorry that I mumbled that last prayer.
I meant to say, “blow the ass up”, not ash up. I will work at being more clear and specific.
Destruction follows this guy everywhere he goes.
Think about it, it is biblical like. Floods, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, ice storms, rats, flies, earthquakes. He and his crew have a very bad mojo. I’ve been saying it since he became pres. God does not like Ugly!
I forgot about his fly problems that happened more than once didn’t it?
And not even the sheep are scared of him.
