[High Praise! to Jill and The Gateway Pundit]
I can’t say it any better than Jill did in her email to me:
Just listening to the accents are cool enough… but hearing a lady call Obama a hypocrite and tear into the sycophancy of the media and politicians towards the Obamas is just heart-warming.

Gateway’s commentary is a helpful accompaniment to the video:
[…] Ms Daly, a TD for Dublin North, hit out at the “almost unprecedented slobbering” over the Obama family’s visit. “It’s really hard to know which is worst, whether it’s the outpourings of the Obamas themselves or the sycophantic falling over them by sections of the media and the political establishment,” she said.
“We’ve had separate and special news bulletins by the State broadcaster to tell us what Michelle Obama and her daughters had for lunch in Dublin, but very little questioning of the fact that she was having lunch with Mr Tax Exile himself,” she said in reference to U2’s Bono.
She described Mr Obama as a “war criminal”, having “just announced his decision to supply arms to the Syrian opposition, including the jihadists, fuelling the destabilisation of that region, continuing to undermine secularism and knock back conditions for women”.
Ms Daly said: “This is the man who is in essence stalling the Geneva peace talks by trying to broker enhanced leverage for the Syrian opposition by giving them arms – and to hell with the thousands more who’ll lose their lives, or the tens of thousands who will be displaced.
“This is the man who has facilitated a 200 per cent increase in the use of drones which have killed thousands of people, including hundreds of children.” […]
My commentary is that I actually LIKE Obama’s drone policy for the most part, since I’m a big fan of “death from above” for wacky jihadis. Feels more like the Wrath of God that way, so I disagree with that last line in the commentary above.
Also, around the 4 minute mark, the video starts bogging down in domestic Irish squabbles, so I got bored & stopped listening. Your mileage may vary. If there’s a good part after that, mention the time-stamp in the comments, please.
the first four minutes are the fireworks. the rebuttal starts at four min. and goes to about 7 then she comes back until 9:30 and the rebuttal goes until the end. in the first four minutes she is magnificent. i might be in love.
but what does this do to the IMAO Irish policy?
Harvey…While I can understand the ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend’ opinion you have of this women’s rant, I suspect she is no friend in any way shape or form of this country. I can easily imagine her opinion of George Bush is even less than her opinion of Barack Obama. To whine about our arming of the rebels while saying NOTHING about the crimes and atrocities of the Assad regime spoke (as far as I’m concerned) volumes. As far as I’m concerned she’s just another whining, holier then thou, sanctimonious liberal plying her trade.
Agree with zzyzx, but at least the world is finally starting the see the charlatan hiding behind the curtain. Ogden Nash was right — the truth will out.
@2 – I concur completely. I confess to enjoying the words in the absence of context, and reveling in them for their own sake, without regard to the source.
Sometimes it’s just nice to hear what I’m thinking coming out of someone else’s mouth 🙂
@1 – IMAO still adheres to its strict NO IRISH! policy. This was just the exception that proves the rule 😀
@4 harvey,
then i guess the wedding is off, but i still loved the ripping of barry, michelle and the press. the first four minutes would have made a unique wedding march.
I’d vote for her, since citizenship isn’t a requirement anymore, why not?
She whines about drones but at least she’s a real ‘liberal’ and not some commie like what’s his name.
If drones are outlawed, only only outla…..oh wait, he already has them, never mind .
Why is anyone on the left surprised that Obama uses drones? Every time he’s on TV (all the damn time), all he does is drone on and on…
“I confess to enjoying the words in the absence of context, and reveling in them for their own sake, without regard to the source.”
Therefore, you need an Irish wife.
Watch it boyo. I resemble that remark. It’s is interesting to see that even leftist Europeans can see the stupidity, incompetence, and ineptness that is obama. Sad that so many of his sycophants can’t.

But seanmahair, I was merely pointing out that an Irish wife would satisfy Harvey’s acquired taste for a female Irish accent. I’m not implying that the wife would emanate from an unknown source or come with an absence of content!
(But I was aware that some might think that and that it might be funny from Harvey’s point of view. 🙂 )
@12 – Oh, I know better than to laugh at an Irish woman. I prefer my testicles unkicked and attached, thank you very much.
tee hee, snicker, snicker, gafaw, gafaw. Oh sorry did I type that out loud. My bad.
The only other redhead to tear into something like that is when Samantha Fish rips up her Telecaster on Runaway, ‘ceptin she does do hers with that accent.
