Tiny Irish Village Is Latest Place to Claim Obama as Its Own
MONEYGALL, Ireland -- Here they call him O'Bama.It looks like the official Obama website has joined the fun. (via)

Stephen Neill, a local Anglican rector, said church documents he has found, along with census, immigration and other records tracked down by U.S. genealogists, appear to show that Obama's great-great-great-grandfather, Fulmuth Kearney, was reared in Moneygall, then left for America in 1850, when he was 19.
