Here, let me give you some more Obama humor. One of the mailing lists I'm on is for County Carlow (in Ireland) genealogy. A few months ago we got a researcher there looking into Obama's Irish ancestry. It turns out he's Irish on his mother's side, like many other Chicago politicians. Some of the Irish (as in still living in Ireland) on the list have taken to calling him Barry O'Bama.
As for Paula and the De Priest connection, I think it's cool too. He's a distant cousin to be proud of, that's for sure. (She's also related to that poor Welch girl who married that transplanted yankee. But we don't generally mention that in polite company.)
