Obama isn't sincere with this, it is re-electioneering.
Have you ever known a politician that doesn't get into campaign mode about this far out from a general election? I've watched 12 presidents in my life time and they all do it. To say that Obama's choice in going to Ireland isn't sincere is to say than no one running for office is sincere. They all make choices to spend their time in public in ways they think will help them.

He's truly a world citizen. I would hope that it wouldn't bother anyone, but I'm sure it will.
I can see him going there for relations between the USA and Ireland.
A President goes to Ireland for that reason and I highly doubt it was for the other reason. The press needs to make money and they may have wrote that story to sell papers, I doubt that is reality.
I would hope to God he didn't make the USA flip the bill so he could do a segment on genealogy for the Oprah network. I don't think that is the truth.
More like "Obama Goes to Ireland in order to woo Irish American voters in the US".
Exactly! He is only "white" when it's convenient. He has never had much love or respect for his mother's side of the family; it's always been about the loser father of his and his tribal heritage.

Wishful thinking on your part because YOU hate his father's heritage. Obama comes across as someone who was more attached to his mother and her side of the family and only missed the presence of his father. Obama does not shy away from celebrating BOTH sides of his family.

What does him going to Ireland have to do with him being "white" or "white" when convenient?
So when Muhammad Ali went to Ireland to see where his great-grandfather came from, Ali was trying to be white? Somehow I don't think so..........And Obama's dad was a loser? You get into and out of Harvard, and then you might have the right to say that...........

What does Harvard have anything to do with the fact that the man was a Communist, anti-colonial, West hater?
Doesn't our country have more to worry about than this President's Hertiage........haven't you people noticed his whole Presidency he has tried to prove to us who he is. Why is he so concerned with this when he has a job to do of being President. Why didn't he search out his life, 20 years ago. I don't begrudge any one in learning their heritage, it just needs to be done on his time and dime, not the American taxpayer.
He is wasting time or doing this for election purposes. Wonder if he learned of this from Ancestry.com
