[Vision2020] There's No One as Irish as Barack O'Bama

[Andreas Schou]

This reminds me of my favorite Obama story, back from when he was in the
Illinois House. He's talking with someone whom he only knows on the phone.
Guy asks: "Obama. What is that -- Irish?" Obama responds: "It will be, when
I'm running for statewide office."
