PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ENJOYS A GUINNESS IN HIS ANCESTOR’S LOCAL PUB






As part of his much awaited visit to Ireland, the US President Barack Obama stepped into his one of his ancestor’s local pub, Ollie Hayes’ bar in Moneygall Co. Offaly, where he was welcomed with a perfectly served Guinness.
The US President visited the town, as part of his visit to Ireland, to meet his distant relatives and see the house that they grew up in.
A special delivery of a keg of Guinness was made earlier this week by Guinness Master Brewer, Fergal Murray in anticipation of the President’s visit and much to the delight of bar owner Ollie Hayes and all the locals who joined him at this momentous occasion, President Obama accepted the warm welcome by sampling the Guinness.
John Kennedy, Managing Director of Diageo Ireland said; “Today marks a fantastic day for Ireland when we welcome US President Barack Obama into Ireland for the first time. What a great occasion also for the President who has had the opportunity to meet his ancestor’s. It is a real honour that he chose to savour a Guinness as part of his journey back to his Irish roots, which truly marks an occasion that will be remembered by people all over the world for generations to come”.
Also speaking today bar owner Ollie Hayes said “We have been waiting in hope for this very day and I can say that it is without doubt one of the proudest days of my life. It’s not every day that the US President drops by our bar for a Guinness! We are going to talk about this day for ever more.”

SON OF K'OGELO GETS A NOBEL NOD


The Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday 9, October, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 2009 to US President Barack Obama.

The Nobel Peace Prize is an international prize which is awarded annually by the Norwegian Nobel Committee according to guidelines laid down in Alfred Nobel's will. The Peace Prize is one of five prizes that have been awarded annually since 1901 under the auspices of the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm for outstanding contributions in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. Starting in 1969, a Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel has also been awarded.

Whereas the other prizes are awarded by specialist committees based in Sweden, the Peace Prize is awarded by a committee appointed by the Norwegian Storting. According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize is to go to whoever "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses". The prize includes a medal, a personal diploma, and a large sum of prize money (currently 10 million Swedish crowns).

The Nobel Peace Prize has been called "the world's most prestigious prize". The Prize is awarded at a ceremony in the Oslo City Hall on December 10, the date on which Alfred Nobel died.

Proof Obama Is Coming To Kenya


HOT SHOT: Barack Obama

Goss making the round is that United States President Barack Obama could visit Kenya in August for a conference of sorts.
The Son of K’Ogelo might use the Eighth forum of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) to make his first trip to the African continent since he was elected US President.
You know why I think this is true? Well, because the last meeting was held in Arusha, Tanzania, last year and George W. Bush attended it.

The Commerce of Racial Slurs




Banking on racial slurs. Big time
Even the President of the most powerful country in the world, US, doesn’t get a break from the occasional sugar coated-racial slurs.
check out this photo of a worker putting up an advertising poster showing an image resembling U.S. President Barack Obama in Yekaterinburg March 31, 2009. A Russian advertising agency used an image resembling Obama to promote a new vanilla-and-chocolate ice cream, drawing the ire of human rights groups who said the ad was vulgar. The slogan on the poster reads: "It's on everyone's lips: the Dark in the White. The pleasant with the pleasant!" - REUTERS
Anyhow, here is the first couple, Obama and first lady Michelle arriving at London's Stansted Airport, March 31, for this week's G20 economic crisis summit, - REUTERS
