PHOTO Obama's home town....in, eh, Ireland!

[Jackeens]

Joe (R) and Julia Hayes, supporters of US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, install a US flag outside Ollie Hayes's Pub in Moneygall, Co Limerick, in Ireland on November 4, 2008. Moneygall, a small Irish town which was once home to an ancestor of Barack Obama, is planning a US election night party hoping for a win for the Democratic candidate. Many of the town's 250 residents will be gathering in the local Ollie Hayes's Bar to watch the election coverage.

12. Here's a Washington Post article about O'bama's Irish roots

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/12/AR2007051201551.html

You'll notice the typo in the article where they refer to Obama's mother's maden name as being "Durham" rather than "Dunham."
