Ranking him among the greatest of unlikely Irish -American politicians- yes, great-great-great- counts, this country isn't 300 years old- Irish is Irish and now everyone wishes they were a bit.
Next someone will find a link that makes him a distant cousin twelve times removed from Ron Reagan, Jr. Now, that would cancel the 2012 election- just let him stay so he can make it back to tour Knock, Kilkenny and the Ring of Kerry.
The Irish, being at the back end of the British boot for centuries understand a bit of
oppression, racism, murder even, that gives them a natural strong empathy with any oppressed discriminated group of peoople, and natural champions of human and civil rights (OK not always, Ketchup is not a vegetable Mr. Reagan).
This is why we love him- post-racial love of all humanity and being a bit of all of it is why O'Bama could still be the Great Reconciler.
Slainte.
