President Obama Visits Pub In Ireland, Has A Guinness

Our first Irish-African-American president. As part of their trip to Ireland, President and Mrs. Obama visited the tiny village of Moneygall, hometown of the President's great-great-great grandfather. While in Moneygall, they popped into the Ollie Hayes pub and knocked back a pint of Guinness. Despite reports to the contrary, our President slammed it with gusto.
