No, it's not just the cute apostrophe that suddenly appeared in pub signs last March -- O'Bama -- for St. Patrick's Day, but it seems that Obama really does have Irish ancestry: his great-great-great-grandfather. The man came to the United States from a wee town called Moneygall in County Offaly. And the Moneygallians have wasted no time in publicizing that fact and issuing an invitation to the Prez-Elect to quaff a pint there.
A sign has gone up in the town that you just have to see. And the band in this video, Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys, have been performing their new song all over the place: "O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare, and O'Hara, there's no one as Irish as Barack Obama!" Or, as they spell it in Gaelic, Bádhraic Ó Bamaigh.
