Irish Parliamentarian: Is Obama ‘Going for the Hypocrite of the Century Award?’

[Geee]

CNS News:

(CNSNews.com) – Clare Daly, a liberal deputy in the Irish Parliament, criticized President Barack Obama’s recent visit to Ireland, noting that the media coverage constituted “sycophantic fawning” over the Obamas and that the president, in permitting weapons to go to Syrian rebels, was arming “jihadists” and reversing women’s rights, thus potentially qualifying him for “the hypocrite of the century award.”

President Obama and the first family visited Northern Ireland on June 17-18, and the president spoke at the G8 summit, which took place in County Fermanagh. It was the Obamas first trip to Northern Ireland and the president also spoke about the peace process in Belfast, in front of local residents and students from selected schools.

 

On June 19, Deputy Daly spoke in Parliament about the visit of the president and his family, saying, “It is important to take this opportunity to bring some balance into the discussion surrounding the visit of the U.S. president and his wife, given the almost unprecedented slobbering over them that the nation has been exposed to over the last number of days.

"unprecedented slobbering" -- good one, Clare. You may be a liberal deputy, but I like everything you said!

 

That's the first I knew that Michelle and the girls had lunch with Bono. Boy, do they like celebrities. Even tax dodging ones.
