Obama: Son of Kenyan Soil and The Pride of Ireland

Mandy Leontakianakis

'There's No One As Irish As Barack Obama'
Song written by Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys

Barack Obama and the coverage of his values are a brand that many global communities and individuals have responded to and sought, over the last week, to align with.
Most recently, Ireland has expressed its stake in the media hero's identity with this YouTube hit: "There's No One As Irish As Barack Obama".
I'm hoping this is an early peak in the international over-identification frenzy.
Maybe a bit of healthy parody will be hot on its heels.
I'll keep a look-out.
