RUSH: It\u2019s St. Patrick\u2019s Day, and I traditionally never wear green on St. Patrick\u2019s Day because I don\u2019t join the crowd. That\u2019s why I got kicked off those PBS fundraiser auctions because I\u2019m not a conformist. It\u2019s why I\u2019ve been fired seven times. Well, not all of the seven times because I wasn\u2019t a conformist. Sometimes the format changed to Chinese opera, and they didn\u2019t need deejays for that. Anyway, it\u2019s St. Patrick\u2019s Day out there. And Obama, at the annual Friends of Ireland luncheon this afternoon in Washington said this.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I can trace my ancestry on my mother\u2019s side, there. Uh, I believe it was my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. <\/p>\n

FOLLOWERS: (laughing) <\/p>\n

OBAMA: This is true! <\/p>\n

FOLLOWERS: (laughter) <\/p>\n

OBAMA: He was a boot-maker, if I\u2019m not mistaken. Someone, uh, actually discovered my Irish lineage, uh, when I was running for president.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, we\u2019re back to Clintonista-type stuff things. He\u2019s Irish. Barack Obama is Irish. How is that going to play with Al Sharpton, by the way? You know, Al Sharpton has become Obama\u2019s number one advisor in outreach to the black community. Sharpton\u2019s job is to tell all the black people out there to shut up, that Obama is trying to make it all work for them. Now, stop and think about that. You want to talk unity? You want to talk postpartisan, postracial? How the hell does that happen? Al Sharpton is the number one advisor for reach-out to the black community. I would love to be there, my friends. I would love to be there someday when somebody tells Obama that he has Jewish ancestors as well. Oh-ho-ho! I would love to hear that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
