Tiny Irish Village Is Latest Place to Claim Obama as Its Own

MONEYGALL, Ireland -- Here they call him O'Bama.

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, Democratic candidate for president, is the talk of this village because recently unearthed records indicate that he is a son of Moneygall.

Stephen Neill, a local Anglican rector, said church documents he has found, along with census, immigration and other records tracked down by U.S. genealogists, appear to show that Obama's great-great-great-grandfather, Fulmuth Kearney, was reared in Moneygall, then left for America in 1850, when he was 19.

(thanks to grassfed for that!)

In case you haven't heard, its a great time for the sharing o' the green for Barack O'Bama!

This Friday, Saturday or Sunday, show your support for President O'Bama by donating whatever you can

... with .17 at the end of it to let the campaign know you are part of the Green Bomb (e.g. $25.17, 100.17).

Please spread the word - let's make this the biggest weekend ever!
