No wonder I like Obama so much. He's one of my people! O'Bama it is.
WaPo: 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.
