After arriving in Belfast with her husband on Monday, Obama crossed the border to Dublin to speak to university experts on the president's ancestors, attend a show of traditional Riverdance step dancing and visit the nearby Wicklow mountains.


[B]"It's good to be home," [/B]the first lady told a cheering audience of schoolchildren before the Riverdance performance.

Those two are like chamelions. Wherever they go, they enjoy a rich and proud familial history.

I think with everything that the Obamas have going on, they just got confused. Probably heard the term "black Irish" somewhere and got the wrong idea.

But you know, the truth is important, and so is telling the truth and saying the right thing. I'd like to see more of that from the President.

Now we know that what he MEANT to say was if he had a son, the boy might look like Eddie Murphy, or Whitey Bulger, or Mickey Rooney...or maybe even like Maureen Dowd.

Touche...

But I was giving him credit for this one, plus the time he yelled to the crowd "I got pie!" and he really did have pie:

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
