There's No One as Irish as Barack O'Bama

Apparently County Offaly is claiming our President-elect as one of their own:

The song is great! But I believe Tullamore is the seat of County Offaly and we all know what its famous product is: Tullamore Dew!

Although all his 'Irish' comes from his mother's side, I think some people will start writing Barack's name as O'Bama (like O'Hare and O'Hara).

If you watch the song, I'll bet you will be singing along by the end.

In Scotland, Wee Eck is also straining for the bandwagon:
