Could not care less.
Don't get me wrong, I give thanks that he came along when he did etc etc.
I do find it grim how big a deal we brits make of the 'special relationship' - there is no such thing, and nor should there be. Just makes us look like a desperate ex.

American politician in tenuous link to ireland with upcoming election shocker!
My last name is Irish and I have someone way back who came from Ireland. I guess it is good to embrace you heritage.
We English speaking countries need to stick together, even if your side has an accent
(which I love from the ladies)
I would.

He (Obama) seems to have regained some of his old poise since the Bin Laden shooting.
Very Glad he made the Trip. 4 Chinook helicopters and the presidents one flew over our house shaking the place.
President O'Bama as they are calling him here now..... was a huge success especially his speech in Dublin where he addressed over 100.000 people.
Very strong links both cultural and buisness between Ireland-America and the Democrats were always fond of the Green factor.
Moneygall was the small village he visited and he actually drank a pint of Guinness there in a small family pub.
Picked up a mobile phone from a random girl in the crowd and asked who it was on the other side and started to have a conversation with them
Historic occasion for Ireland and he was most welcome. In fact he really did a great job and has given hope to the country the way he reached out to people with his speech.
Lots of American Election posters "vote on Nov 4th" in view and of course the Irish tourism industry will be milking this exposure big time, especially to the American-Irish.
The Queen was a hard act to follow but he worked the crowd brilliantly shaking hands, kissing babies and taking photos.
A Good day.

agreed
I think he's the most human president the US has had since Carter - obviously there's always an element of PR with all the happy family stuff - but he does seem the real deal
too early to judge his record but on health, foreign policy and maybe the economy too, the early signs are a massive improvement on what went before

He comes across great, although pr is a huge influence you can help but think its natural with him.
