Bumface (bum as understood in English to mean posterior) is the Prime Minister.

ira: >>Shucks, compared to w, I would cheer for Cameron.<<

Who said anything about w? Get over it.

I don't know about the crowds in Dublin, but none of you guys has probably ever been even close to Moneygall, Co. Offaly.

It's a god-forsaken little village, maybe half a mile of houses along the N7, nowadays by-passed on the new M7, with little more than two pubs, a Centra convenience store, and a bus stop (on request) of the Limerick-Dublin route.

Having the President of the United States of America for a few minutes in that pub and getting airtime on 2 billion TV sets worldwide probably did more for the future revenue from tourism (nowadays probably close to €1.50 per day) than any Failte Ireland or NDP initiative. No wonder the crowd was cheering.

And, besides that, the mid-west people are quite friendly and hospitable, and not so much a grumpy, nitpicking bunch of people always assuming the worst.

I loved what I heard of Obama's speech and can't imagine the excitement in Moneygall. I read that the crowd size in Dublin was 25,000...

Btw I saw a tweet from someone in London saying "OMG Obama's in London!" made me smile

I guess that the American translations are butt head and President.
