It's really sad that you have to claim to be from somewhere else to be taken seriously as a Democrat presidential candidate. Also, some snobbier types might suggest there's nothing to be proud of in being from County Offaly, but I wouldn't stoop to such pettiness.

So with the Irish being the blacks of Europe and all, does this make him more or less black?

Some choice quotes spring to mind, such as from Go: "If you were any less black, you would be clear."

Or perhaps a more appropriate choice of movie would be The Commitments: "Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud."

Hey Clinton fingered an intern while she was drinking a Guinness. Did that automatically make his wife Irish?

My Salvadorian gf wants a t-shirt that says, "Irish by Association" Maybe I could get Obama to buy one too?
