Over a chorus of gleeful Irish pub-goers literally singing Barack Obama's praises, NBC's Al Roker, broadcasting live from Ireland on Monday's "Today" show, explored the current president's Irish roots as he observed: "As St. Patrick's Day approaches in Moneygall the townsfolk join in the chorus, determined to keep hope alive." The "Today" show weatherman began the celebratory segment by exclaiming: "In a small pub in Ireland they're still celebrating Obama's victory. Dancing in honor of their adopted son."
The following is a complete transcript of the segment as it was aired on the March 16, "Today" show:
AL ROKER: You know, they say there's a wee bit of Irish in everyone. That include President Barack Obama. That's right it was first revealed last year that part of Obama's roots traced back to a village here in Ireland called Moneygall. Well it's been Obama territory, ever since.
BARACK OBAMA: I Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear.
ROKER: When Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States-
OBAMA: So help me God.
ROKER: -it was a historic day for the country for African-Americans, and as luck would have it, a great day for the Irish. In a small pub in Ireland they're still celebrating Obama's victory. Dancing in honor of their adopted son.
Story Continues Below Ad ↓OBAMA: It turns out that I have Irish heritage. I am, I do. No this is true.
ROKER: While more has been made of Obama's roots in Kenya and his upbringing in Kansas, the discovery that his family tree traced back to an Irish immigrant named Falmouth Karney hailing from Moneygall in County Offaly, was big news for this tiny village west of Dublin.
CANON STEPHEN NEIL, MONEYGALL AND TEMPLEHARRY RECTOR: Falmouth Kearney is the third great grandfather of Barack Obama. So you're going back six generations effectively. That's the link.
FIONA FITZSIMONS, ENECLANN RESEARCH: My immediate reaction was, good God, at last there was an American presidential candidate who wasn't linked to Ireland somehow or another.
ROKER: The road to the White House has often been paved with green. 24 of the 44 U.S. presidents had some form of Irish ancestry.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: John F. Kennedy, of course came to Wexford. The late Ronald Reagan came to County Tipperary, and of course Bill Clinton came to Ireland as well, many times.
ROKER: Though Obama's link makes him only about three percent Irish, seems everyone is clamoring to claim him as their own.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN#2: Obama is a good Irish name.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Move over St. Patrick.
ROKER: First to stake a claim is Henry Healy, a Moneygall resident who's believed to be Obama's eighth cousin.
HENRY HEALEY: To realize I had some distant relationship to Barack Obama was unbelievable. I'm not as good a speaker. I'm not as good looking. No similarities there.
ROKER OVER VIDEO OF PEOPLE SINGING AND KID IN OBAMA T-SHIRT: As St. Patrick's Day approaches in Moneygall the townsfolk join in the chorus, determined to keep hope alive.
PEOPLE SINGING: There's no one as Irish as Barack Obama!
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN#2: We're waiting for President Obama to visit Moneygall and to perform for him.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN#3 says something inaudible.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN# 2: Yes of course. (laughter)
BARTENDER: Here's to Obama!
ROKER: In fact that song has had five million hits on Youtube.
MEREDITH VIEIRA: Is that where the "O" comes from in Obama?
ROKER: O baby!
VIEIRA: Thank you, Al.

March 16, 2009 - 13:11 ET by DJEddleSometimes I think that the "Today" show is a parody of itself. Seriously? Three percent Irish? This alleged "reporting" is an embarrassment to humanity. But the agenda is sickening.
Obama is everything. Obama is nothing.
Obama is whatever the uneducated masses want him to be. He has no noteworthy history...he has no noteworthy record. The media has created him and they continue to re-create him every week. Yesterday he was the first black president (never mind that he is half white). Today he's Irish (after two years of calling him black). Tomorrow, we'll find out that he's actually neither - perhaps he's an Hispanic Jew.
One thing is certain: He's a fraud. Always has been and always will be.
Another thing is certain: He's not eligible for the presidency according to our laws.
Thoughts on United States Citizenship
Perhaps next week he'll be the citizen who never was. Maybe he'll be cast as the one man who can transcend constitutional law and save us from the tyranny of capitalism and constitutional republicanism - by defying each system and delivering us to the shores of true liberty through fascism.
That's the "news" story currently in progress all around us in every "mainstream" network. But most people refuse to acknowledge it.

I don't blame you for not understanding what could possible be described as a "fringe lunatic movement" in your assertion that Barack Obama isn't a natural-born citizen. Those you associate with (no doubt online) probably enable your deranged beliefs that could best be described as edging onto the brink of insansity. Good luck grasping at those last vestiges of hope, that some day, you will be retributed for your pathetic belief in a lie wrapped in a veil of xenophobia and racism.

Here's one really big reason why it matters... It's a not-very-well-kept secret in the military that our soldiers are questioning what they will do if he gives orders. As you well know, Obama has shown no legal and valid prrof yet that he's a natural born citizen, so sure people are gonna ask questions. You big dope!

March 16, 2009 - 18:43 ET by BlazerQuestion. How does one expecting the 44th president of The United States to provide his birth certificate, which he has failed to do, proving he was born here as put forth in the Constitution make one a fringe lunatic.?
If he provided absolute proof, and then people were still trying to say he was born in Kenya or Indonesia, I would agree with you.
However, why won't he release it, if he's legal and put this all to rest once and for all ?
What would be your position if Bush would not have provided his instead of your beloved Teleprompter Jesus ?
That's right.
If this were a conservative president who had not provided his birth certificate, the wail's of fraudulent stolen election once again would be deafening and shouted from the highest mountain top's by the left and the MSM.

Jer
Yea, I read it. I'm not
March 16, 2009 - 20:08 ET by BlazerYea, I read it. I'm not dismissing anything. Obama uploaded a poorly scanned digital copy of a certificate of live birth to his campaign website before the election but never presented the living document for scrutiny as required by U.S. law before swearing in as he said he would.
The burden of proof is on him and he hasn't provided it.

March 16, 2009 - 19:32 ET by BlazerWrong. It only proves who is parent's are, not that he's a natural born U.S. citizen. These were commonly given out by Hawaii back then to those who's children weren't born here. If he were in fact born in a Hawaiian hospital which is the claim, he would have a certificate stating a hospital name, doctor present during delivery and time of birth.
However the real one is supposedly under lock and key. Why?
It doesn't exist.

March 16, 2009 - 20:40 ET by Cool ArrowCome to think of it, there's just as much proof on the Internet that Obama enjoys homosexual sex and cocaine in the back of a limo as there is proof he's an American citizen. (not that there's anything wrong with it, him being a homosexual, that is).
Personally, I think both claims are false.

Obama's Ancestry...
March 16, 2009 - 14:05 ET by Doc_NavySo, let me get this straight... Obama is:
Black, because his Father is Black.
White, because his Mother is White.
Kenyan, because his Father was Kenyan
American, because his Mother was American.
Hawai'ian, because he lived there for a while, and -SUPPOSEDLY- that's where he was born.
Indonesian, because his adoptive father is Indonesian.
Muslim, because his Father, adoptive Father, and all his half-siblings are Muslims, aaannnd because he was a practicing Muslim as a young child.
Christian, because at his wife's behest and from political advice from a mentor... He joined a Black Liberationist Church in Chicago.
Now he's:
Irish, because there is a SIXTH (!!?!) generational link somewhere on his Mother's side! You gotta be kidding.
Even a little checking into BHO's background makes any sane person shake their head in dismay. Just Google his respective parent's names and read.
Broken home, raised by grandma, alcoholism, violence, zero stability, taught to hate his caucasian heritage, raised on anti-American socialist/communist propaganda, worships at a James Cole inspired the-white-man-and-American-society-is-the-root-of-all-evil church.. real winner there.

March 16, 2009 - 17:49 ET by Kat Outta the Bag"Don't jest. When Hillary Clinton first came to New York to campaign for Senator, she told everyone (with a straight face) she "just found out" that she was part Jewish."

Gothampc, she really said that?
March 16, 2009 - 18:58 ET by ConservativeFLWas it ever discovered if it was true or another one of her lies?
"Hillary claimed that her daughter Chelsea was in danger on September 11, claiming that her daughter went for a jog down to the towers themselves, and when the planes hit, she saw the buildings right there and was nearly in peril. Too bad again, since Chelsea totally debunked her mother's phony story in a magazine article. She was really on the other side of the city, and was woken up with a phone call telling her to watch the news- and she never got anywhere near the towers, instead she was staring shocked at the tv screen most of the day."

March 16, 2009 - 14:46 ET by steviep831This...this... is just absurd. The most pathetic act of liberal leaning, Obama deifying journalism to date... I just want to puke... And to take advantage of a small town like that... just pathetic.
it is absurd!
March 16, 2009 - 14:59 ET by clinging to my guns and my religioncan you imagine - even for a moment - the "today show" sending a crew half way around the world to do a similar story on gwb? the only way they'd go that far for a bush story is if they thought there might be some dirt or scandal involved!!

Obama's 3% Irish, so it's a "great day" for the Irish?? Right...I strongly doubt that "O" will be visiting the poor, misguided folks of Moneygall anytime soon...
Guinness may be the big drink in Ireland, but it's clear that these poor folks have been downing the Kool-Aid...

Must be that "new" geography they teach in government schools these days. :-^)

This coup has gone on long enough. The time to put it down is NOW.
Irish
March 16, 2009 - 16:15 ET by Gothampc"the discovery that his family tree traced back to an Irish immigrant named Falmouth Karney hailing from Moneygall in County Offaly"
Saints be praised, he's no relation to me. No connections to County Offaly in my family.
had not thought of that
March 16, 2009 - 16:17 ET by katainkentwouldn't that be a kick. Now I'll have to ask my mom where our Irish ancestors are from.
Relations
March 16, 2009 - 16:32 ET by GothampcIf you find you're related, you should request an invitation to the White House (that is if you can find a day that Obama is actually there).
I've got the Irish in me. Too bad the Irish seem not to have it.

The proof is in Kenya
March 16, 2009 - 20:15 ET by slickwillie2001The truth about Obammy is not in Hawaii, it's in Kenya. Digging it up would take a well-funded investigation team digging around in a dangerous place, full of people determined to protect a native son. But it's also corrupt, so you could get to the truth eventually with enough bribes. And you need extraordinary proof; statements by Auntie Zeituni as to Obammy's birthplace have simply been blown off. You need some kind of documentary proof and a pile of affidavits from credible witnesses. That's a tall order.
Well then, according to Clooney
