Celtic Radio Community > Politics & Current Events > There Is No One As Irish As Barack O'Bama


Posted by: CelticRadio 29-Jan-2009, 08:24 PM
There is a new song in honor of our new President. It's called "There is no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama.

The group that performs this song is called the Corrigan Brothers and their website is located here:

http://www.corriganbrothers.com/

At CelticRadio.net we do not have any music from the Corrigan Brothers and this song probably will not make it on one of our channels as it seems a bit too much like green plastic. You can check it out here from You Tube:

Apparently there is alot of Irish in O'Bama as indicated in this article from FoxNews:

Tell us what you think!

There's no vote for "horrified".

Posted by: oldraven 30-Jan-2009, 09:52 PM
The subject matter doesn't effect my one way or another. It seems to be all in good fun.

But the song is just awful! CR won't be diminished by leaving this one off of the list.

Nor is there a vote for "Disgusted"!

I like it. I view it as a parody song. Just some lads having some fun with Obama. It won't make that top 10 list.

I also think its funny. Why are so many angry? Didn't a lot of people have fun doing this stuff with previous presidents? You know no public figure is off limits. wink.gif

I agree, as am American of Irish descent, I just found the song amusing. I doubt our president would be offended by it either.

Just a note. We have never received such negative comments from our newsletter on an issue. This article was really just poking fun at an obvious miconstrued song that claims Barack O'Bama is Irish.

I can tell you now that we have not received one positive comment about Barack and his stimulus package. There is alot of anger out there, but again, Celtic Radio takes no stance one way or the other - but we would never play this song on our broadcast!

I am amazed at the number of my Democrat friends who no longer support him. Even the State Democrat committeeman, who lives across the street, privately admits that a grave mistake may have been made.

Usurper? He was voted in by a vast majority.

u⋅surp [yoo-surp, -zurp]
–verb (used with object)
1. to seize and hold (a position, office, power, etc.) by force or without legal right: The pretender tried to usurp the throne.
2. to use without authority or right; employ wrongfully: The magazine usurped copyrighted material.
–verb (used without object)
3. to commit forcible or illegal seizure of an office, power, etc.; encroach.

Sorry about the sour grapes, but you kind of sound like a fool when you say something like that.

For your information I AM AN AMERICAN Patriot, tenth generation descendant of Scots who came to Virginia. I am not a troll. I am disgusted with half the population of MY COUNTRY by the way, who voted for YES this usurper.
Read your definition. HE has not shown:
A real birth certificate
His passport
His college records
His medical records
etc. etc.

I have NEWS for you RAVEN. FIFTY SIX MILLION AMERICANS did NOT vote for O'bama.
and now MANY of my lib friends who did are SORRY. He is a socialist, he is mongering fear and chaos. Last week he used the word CRISIS 27 times on one bloody speech!
SO since you are not from the US, don't presume to assume I am a troll.
I am an American Patriot who supports the Constitution, Freedom of Speech and the right to bear arms. THREE THINGS the O'BAMA administration now plans to destroy.
SO you know what? shut up and keep your lib socialist opinions to yourself if you have to insult AMERICAN patriots. How dare YOU?
PS I have been a member of Celtic radio for a long time, I relocated last year, and if you know about celtic radio, one did not have to pay in the past and I decided to join.
I am sick and tired of you foreigners who think OBAMA is the Messiah. Just wait and watch Raven.

I do believe some offtopic.gif but if you most drag this into another well so be it.

I am one part of that population that voted for him,why because of my freedom to vote for I THINK would be the better man. I am most willing to wait and see what he does it's only been less then 100 days so give him a brake.
I see counted how many times the man can use one word in a speech,well we are in a CRISIS. I had parents who talked about such things happening in their time never would I have dreamed I would see this in mine.
Freedom of speech I fill it is for everyone no matter if they live here in this country or not.

Now back too what this topic is about.

I thought it was just have fun with a person's last name. More power too him for have such family history.

When you register to make a first post that is pure troll bait, then yes, you're a troll. Again, he's not a Usurper. Re-read that definition. Musharraf was a usurper. Obama was voted in democratically. He has US citizenship. Why does he need to show a passport? Who needs his college and medical records? Are these pre-requisites for running for office? You can't vote for a guy if he has an appendix? What's the difference between a birth certificate and a 'real' birth certificate?

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/06/13/bobirthcertificate.jpg

66 million did vote for him. Since 66 is more than 58 (not 56) that means he WON his job, he didn't take it. Those figures come from CNN's records, just in case you thought I was getting them from some 'lefties'. You say that he uses fear and chaos to control the masses by saying 'Crisis' a bunch of times..... while talking about the greatest financial collapse that has been seen in 80 years. I, along with everyone else who is subjected to US media, have been listening to Bush cram fear down the world's throat for eight years. 27 times is a lot of 'crises'. I wonder how many times Bush said:
-"Axis of Evil"
-"Terrorist"
-"War on Terror"
-"Shock and Awe"
-"Unpatriotic"
-"With us or Against us"
-"Threat to National Security"
.... really, I could go on all day here. The guy defined the Buzzword.

I don't have to be a US citizen to recognise a troll, buddy. I've been dealing with them from every corner of the world. You fit the bill, making your first post an open invitation for mayhem. If you think calling you a troll is some kind of personal insult, maybe you should google it. It refers to online behaviour.

For the record, I think the majority of people are viewing Obama with an extreme outlook. I don't think he's the messiah, and I don't think he's Satan himself. He's a bloody man who just got his job and everyone is acting like he's either taking way too long to implement ALL of his intended change, or that he's the source of every dark thought in the nation. It would be great if people would just wait and watch. But sadly it seems everyone has made up their mind about the guy within the first month of his presidency. So why don't you just take your own advice and "Wait and watch"? He might surprise you and NOT cause the apocalypse.

But it's already to late for Obama. The US Empire has been setting itself up for collapse for decades now, and now that it's happening the new guy is going to take the fall for it. It doesn't matter that the economy turned well over a year before his inauguration. He's the man of the hour to blame.

I did not vote for the man but that has nothing to do the the question about the song I think that many of us take ourselves much to serious I think the song is funny and it is most likely just one of many to come

I do not presume to tell Canadians what they should do in their country and would hope to have the same courtesy returned. We are being blamed for this calamity but as the facts come out, Europe has been shown to be the worst offender in banking and the stock markets. Our system was attacked last October and we were able to preserve the world economy that one time. Anyone who believes that America can fix this is chasing rainbows. Every industrial country in the world is at risk today because of foreign investments by countries that have dark motives. Switzerland is poised on the brink of bankruptcy because of their banking industry and outside forces. The citizens there may REALLY need those firearms they keep in their homes.

Obama, like all politicians, is the product of his handlers, the media and peoples wishful thinking. He is not the "great hope" nor is he a great evil. He is NOT Lincoln or Roosevelt. He is no more honest than any politician who came before him and no less.

Those, both here and abroad, who expect him to "pull their chestnuts out of the fire" are going to be eating burned chestnuts.

I didn't mean for that to sound like the US caused the world wide economic collapse. They caused their own, though, which is what I meant by the empire setting ITSELF up.

Even still, the song remains terrible, if not offensive. wink.gif

Posted by: Patch 24-Feb-2009, 03:11 PM
I guess I do not see the song as being terrible. We americans tend to belittle our leaders percieved shortcomings in prose, cartoons and song. We have done it for many many years.

I did not mean that you indicated we caused the crisis.I have heard the blame here a little and more so on other sites. Early on I even blamed us. However, regardless of how well our our political, financial and industrial leaders have performed, we are all riding the same train and will all suffer the same fate. That is globalsation folks!

I expect Canada has the natural recourses to survive better than the US and the Mexican people may not realize that anything happened because of the poverty there.

We are truly living an historic event!!

Imagine the information we can pass to future generations.

Absolutely. Canada is by no means immune. Consumer panic in the US spells hard times for our already stark manufacturing industries, and the same goes for cutting back on driving affecting our oil exports, which is the primary source of GDP right now. I know here in NS we've never really been a growth economy, so we had no over-inflated workforce here. You couldn't slash jobs here if you tried. Having a stagnant economy and living in recession like conditions for 30+ years means that we aren't really feeling it here, but other parts of Canada are getting hit hard. We currently have two huge projects going up in Guysborough Co., where I live. An LNG Plastics plant, which can lead to spin-offs of a number of factories, as well as a deep-water shipping terminal that is supposed to cut transportation time and costs by being a shorter route from Asia to North America than by the Pacific. The Atlantic Gateway, they're calling it. By the time the world economy begins to recover, these two facilities will just be coming online.

The only hope for us is that we've got a strong banking system and are mostly resource based, not manufacturing based. With a dozen years of surplus budgets to back us up, we could stand to come out the other side of this recession extremely strong, depending on how we spend our stimulus. If we spend a lot of money on green tech. research and setting up manufacturing for emerging markets or trends, we might become the manufacturing nation we need to be. The problem with being a primarily resource based economy is that you eventually run out of resources. The other hope is that we see a lot of assistance for students moving into highly skilled and technical jobs. We need better workers and better techniques.

And then there is the prospect of Magna getting up the gumption to build an auto company here in Canada.

macewen is correct. period. obama, or more accurately his handlers, is/are [a]usurper[s]. he, nor most of his cabinet are even citizens. oh, one other thing to remember, america is NOT a democracy. well, it sort of is now on the face of it to ignorant dupes, but AMERICA as begun, intended and legally standing is a republic. huge difference. the "election" of a non citizen, with a whacking 42 days or some such pittance of experience into the congress, for which he was not legally qualified either, into the post of president is a farce and travesty. it would be laughable were it not so sad.

God help us all.

As an American at this point in history I am too disturbed by the "new" direction of our country to find humor in the song - hopefully several years from now I can laugh about all of it. For now - - - beer_mug.gif will may bring a laugh or two

I feel sorry for this man, he needs God! As far as his forefather being Irish, he would not be proud of this man. Remember he is "BLACK" so if that is the case that mean he does not except the fact he is"White" as well! The only reason he would says he was of "IRISH" descent if there was something in it for him. Black/Irish good choice Mayor Daily!

You will find that many have some Irish connection. Especially around and on St. Patricks day! I decided to give him a chance to make this work, but it is obvious he can not. Probably no one can.

However, I now see it as just the same game, different players.

See, that's what I don't get. It's only February. A little over a month in office and he's failed you? .............. with what? If you want an example of a failure who never had a chance to make a difference in Government, look no further than Stephane Dion. Obama, on the other hand, doesn't show the same kind of failure. You have to wait and see if his policies flop to make that judgement.

Posted by: Patch 03-Mar-2009, 10:41 AM
You will note, I also said, "probably no one can".

The markets are our best judge of the system as they are "forward looking". We have lost over 10.5 trillion in the markets to date. 3,300 more points lost and we will equal the drop reached on the day of the market crash in 29.

His stimulus was weak on jobs and provided little sense of security. Evidenced by the fact that the market took a big loss on its passage. We are "saving" industries that can no longer survive. His own party is not supporting his desire to cut pork from spending bills and told him it was their right. Nothing that was passed in the last stimulus will take place before the end of this year and some of the critical things for those unemployed will (insurance assistance for one) will take even longer. He is a better educated "george bush" with the same quality, or maybe even less, cabinet appointments. I do not recall when so many appointees have failed to pay taxes. That shows at the least great lapses in ethics.

The drop in home, auto and major appliance sales is no longer due to tight credit but fear and lack of consumer confidence! Nearly everyone is concerned about their employment. That probably is the signal of our economic doom.

His popularity had dropped as people realize that he can not fix the problems we face.

If Obama ever had an opportunity to ease the crisis, it ended with his attempt at a bail out.

Lastly, the federal reserve has been flooding the system with trillions of dollars. So has Europe and most other countries. The result is probably going to be rampant double and triple digit inflation and eventual monetary collapse. There is nothing in economic textbooks about avoiding that once the monster is created.

Again, I hope I am wrong.

But the economic slide started far before he took office, and the insane spending started with the Bush Administration. You can't put that on the new guy. That's a matter of, "We created this mess, now you own it."

The whole point of the bailout that passed under him was.... wait, what bailout happened after he became President? So far as I can recall the major bailouts of the banks, TARP, and auto companies happened at the end of 2008. Any money handed out lately has been part of the previous admin.'s deals.

And yeah, I'm positive no one person could have stopped the bleeding instantly. It takes the entire nation to get back to buying and borrowing, so the rest can get back to building. No National leader can make the buying public take action.

Posted by: Patch 03-Mar-2009, 06:03 PM
I never said Obama caused this, I said he can not fix it.

The second bail out is solely that of the new administration. Neither the first or the second was appropriate and has had or will have any real benefit. No country has EVER spent its way out of a financial crisis. When a loaf of bread costs 15 or 20 dollars or maybe many times more, we are burnt toast and that is where flooding the economy with faux dollars will get us. It will lead to devaluation of the dollar (google that one) or governmental default. You might want to google that scenario too! I find all of the above to be a real horror show.

Today several local newspapers used the "D" word for the first time. As one put it, it is with a lower case "d" still, but a "d" all the same. That sounds like being a little pregnant! We all know where that goes!

I have heard the above discussed over the last three days on TV financial news also.

There is NO confidence in the general population and that is what is driving the "engine." You can offer all the credit imaginable and with no confidence, no one will use it. Thus, people will not buy and more people will loose their jobs. The beast feeds it's self and will until it has run its course.

Only the Supreme Being can fix this (that isn't Obama) and I doubt the Supreme Being is interested!

Again, I certainly would like to be wrong.

Maybe this should move to it's own topic.

I think we're on the same page, as to people expecting the impossible from a man who never promised it. He also said it would get worse before it got better. He did promise to create jobs, as did the other candidate. Like you, I suspect neither would have had a hope of doing that until, as you put it, the engine starts running again.

My fears are that our media is so wrapped up in this doomsday talk that they will have the same effect on our buying public. I personally know people who are panicking and talking about pulling out of investments, which is part of the whole problem. It certainly is a snowball situation. So far we're still spending money here, but the way the news is going on, I'm sure it will be a matter of weeks before people start to freeze up and our own 'engine' really starts stalling.

The best thing we all could do right now is shut the bloody TV off.

Posted by: gwenlee 04-Mar-2009, 07:48 AM
This latest stimulis is all Obamas and his cronies. There was a political cartoon out in Dec. that showed Pelosei(the speaker of the House, I know I haven't spelled her name right) and Obama in a car labeled economic bail out. Obama was in the passenger seat holding on for dear life, and it was Pelosei at the wheel. Obama is the puppet.

Posted by: Patch 04-Mar-2009, 09:59 AM
Right.

Obama met with both the Democrat senate and house senior members and told them that after this budget, "no more earmarks". They told him it was their right to do that and they WOULD continue the practice! Sadly he is not leading his own party. There is a problem with party members verbally undercutting the administrations message also. The worst to my knowledge was the treasury secretary telling a private group at a dinner meeting that the banking crisis would continue till at least 2015! That hit the press as soon as one of the participants could get to a phone. The Republicans squandered their opportunity to accomplish great things and it appears the Democrats are doing the same.

The governor of Ohio (D) has failed to produce last fiscal years records for the auditor to compile. They are over six and a half months late and this has never happened in the history of the state. Many suspect the state is on the verge of financial collapse.

In time the Obama administration will stop the leaks, but I am not sure just how much time we have.
