Glad he found the Irish in him. I’m one of the many Irish Americans in this country.

Epic win. Love Guinness!

Good to knows while there’s so much that needs to be done in this country, he’s over there enjoying some beer.

@mypandabear@xanga - Yeah, how dare he sleep and take a shit or anything like that? Let’s give him some Mucinex + cocaine so he’ll never sleep and only work! Plus screw that whole international relations thing, ‘Merica all the way!
Bah, someone always complaining.
I dislike beer, and by the look of Michelle’s face, she doesn’t love it either.
guest
@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - Our budget is fucked, and there are so many natural disasters happening right now and needing help. He can take a shit and sleep as needed, but taking vacations is another thing entirely! Way to exagerate and take things completely out of comparison.
guest
I love them, seriously.
guest
@mypandabear@xanga - Glad to see you’re so actively helping the country yourself with all your bitching and moaning.
guest
@Kill_GaryLarson@xanga - I didn’t take up a job where that was my responsibility… he did.
guest
I figured there would be static about this picture… seems like there are a few things Xangans can never agree on – politics, religion and the obesity issue

@mypandabear@xanga - Give the guy a break! I’d rather have a happy, relaxed President than a stressed out, unhappy President who never has any fun. That way he can make decisions calmly and rationally without having a nervous breakdown.
Does that mean he should take vacations constantly? Of course not! But hell, he has the money and the opportunity, so why wouldn’t he? This nation does NOT rely solely on the President. Just because he has an important job doesn’t mean that he has to do presidential shit 24/7. He is human… just like the rest of us.
guest
@not_your_concern@xanga - Took the words right out of my mouth! I agree, He basically picked up the nation and had to start all over to bring it up again. He’s only human and the entire nation isn’t only run by him. People do need to relax and let him breathe once in a while too.

he’s only in ireland for about 24 hours, he’s visiting where his ancestors came from and meeting with the taoiseach, or prime minister there. give the guy a break for having a pint, it’s a part of the culture, literally.
guest
Chug-a-freaking-lug! That is too awesome!
guest
Haha cute!

Guiness n’ black. Lovely drink. The only alcoholic drink I regularly drank in the UK besides port =p.
guest
regardless of this photo, he’s still an idiot.
great, now i have to run my anti-liberal on my hard drive.
guest
aww cute : )

You must have a boring life if that made your day.

I have a secret crush on Barack Obama.
guest
aww Obama’s face is adorable! and Michelle doesn’t seem to be liking the beer very much..
guest
@mypandabear@xanga - Because Bush didn’t take stupidly long vacations at his “ranch” all the time or anything.
guest
not a fan of them. but the picture’s pretty funny.

@mypandabear@xanga - I didn’t like it when people said that about George W Bush. Honestly, in this day and age of endless ways to communicate the President can be anywhere and do his job.
guest
@mypandabear@xanga - I don’t think meeting political leaders in Europe qualifies as ‘vacation’.
guest
@mypandabear@xanga - I agree with you, but let’s be honest- it’s not like he’s helping things here. I say, let Europe have him.
guest
Screw the Obamas: look at that creepy photobomb.
guest
@TiredSoVeryTired@xanga - But you know with the double standards people would be making a HUGE deal if Bush had done the same thing.
guest
@Mangonese@xanga - I’m pretty sure he didn’t while pretty much a whole state had just been blown away by a tornado!!
guest
@WaitingToShrug@xanga - Lol! If only they’d keep him
guest
@ThinToBeHappy86@xanga - He wasn’t meeting any political leaders. He was visiting the country of his great, great, great (or some amount of greats) grandfather. Discoverying your roots does not equal meeting political leaders.
guest
Not a fan of the Obamas but if you’re in Ireland and you don’t have some Guiness, you’re losing out.
guest
@mypandabear@xanga - Hah yea he must never rest until everything that can be done is done!!!!!!!! But seriously, he does work hard its obvious. He needs to take care of himself, his family, sanity, etc in order to make a difference. I think the pres has earned a beer or two.

Sweet! I love the Obama’s. It’s nice to see that he’s taking a day off and vacationing. He does take his work with him everywhere he goes. Bush took vacations too so I don’t even wanna hear it. And about those natural disasters, everything is being done that can be done. If you care about the natural disasters so much then pack your bags and go help out yourself and stop bitching.

@mypandabear@xanga - he’s not on vacation, he’s doing state visits… all heads of state have to do them every year, from Canada to India to the USA – all of them do this.
guest
@mypandabear@xanga - Dude you are a bitter pill.
guest
WIN! Thas my blac-rish president
I love Guiness and I love a half-Irishman.
guest
@mypandabear@xanga - Bush…was vacationing, and CONTINUED his vacation during Hurricane Katrina.
He also vacationed during upheavals and general unrest in the Middle East (Gaza being bombed).
Don’t even get me started on Bush’s v. Obama’s vacation days.
Know what you’re talking about before you talk.

@mypandabear@xanga - Lol 1. He was there for 24 hours, I don’t think that qualifies as a vacation. 2. he DID meet with the president of Ireland and participated in a bilateral meeting 3. it’s called “foreign policy”, there aren’t many vacations when you are the president, it’s all business.
guest
Great, another twenty-vacation summer at the American taxpayers’ expense.
orchid / 155 posts
I like Obama, a lot.
I don’t have a 24 hr/day job, so why should he? He deserves a little vacation.
Plus, he doesn’t own the country. Sure he plays an important role, but it’s ALL OF YOU bitter people that blame everything on the president that should be doing something to help out.
Is it his fault the tornado came? no.
is it his sole responsibility to help them out? no.
it’s the efforts of all of us. not just one.
i thought America was for the people, by the people. i didn’t know “people” = obama.

They’re amazing. Michelle looks disgusted haha
guest
@Mangonese@xanga - Well, you see.. Bush is a rich, old, white man so it’s cool for him to do whatever. That includes running up the national debt and starting a completely ridiculous war and dumping it on the next president.
I am going to enjoy the day all these “Republicans” wake up and notice that they ONLY goal for the Republican party is to keep their rich friends rich.
But, uh.. I don’t really care about it. I just hate stupid people. They’re all puppets and we aren’t really free!
guest
It’s just a picture of them having a drink… I don’t get the fuss, really. It’s not horrible, but it’s not really OMG BEST PIC EVER by a long shot. It’s a picture of a person having a drink.
guest
So the president and his wife are taking a sip of beer in Ireland. I don’t get why this is so exciting. -_- I have nothing against the Obamas of course, but come on, really lovelyish?
guest
@violetxsky3@xanga - This, thank you!
guest
@ncxcorexkid@xanga - I don’t really care what political association anyone is. I just care whether they’re doing their job to the best of their ability or not. :/
guest
I’d love having our troops out of Afghanistan even more.
guest
@mypandabear@xanga - no, he just did it right after our nation had been attacked by terrorists and thousands were killed. no biggie.
guest
In love with Obama .. he’s so hott .
guest
fuck this, i hate him.
guest
LOOK AT HIS PINKY OUT.
HAHAHAH
guest
@OnFire92@xanga - incorrect.
guest
Cool photo.
@not_your_concern@xanga - THANK YOU!
@mypandabear@xanga - Yes, indeed. Because the President doesn’t control every single thing that goes on in the government.
