    Couldn't you have brought me some Guinness to drown my sorrows in instead of a plant?

    Hey Mr. Cowen do you think maybe the luck of the irish will get me through this recession?

    Thanks for the shamrock, but I think a few billion dollars would have been an appropriate gift.

    Thank you, Prime Minister. Part of my Change Presidency is to create an historical “International Heads of State Chia Pet Collection.” This one’s a great way to start the ball rolling!

    A little balsamic vinaigrette and a few croutons, Mr. Leprechaun, and we just might be "staying late" at the office tonight.

    I'm sorry, Mr. Cowen, I have never inhaled!

    Dude, I've been jonesin' for some shamrock brownies ever since the wife made me quit smoking at the White House.

    I bet it'll be easier to find a four leaf clover in here, than it is to stop AIG's currupt spending.

    Mr. Cowen, thanks for the Chia Pet. Can I have another one to give to my Irish friend, Shaquille O'neil , the next time we shoot hoops?

  20. Bart from Chicago

    Mr. Cowen, when I said I needed some green, I meant cash.

    There once was a man named Obama
    who once lost his way to the pub o'rama
    he looked left, he looked right
    he looked up and he looked over
    but all that he found was a bowl of clover.

    Mr. President this is a special t;ype of eco-shamrock grass in Ireland. You can play 18 holes on it, then go home and eat it.

  27. Angela from CT

    You think there's a 4 leaf clover in here? I know it's the shamrock ceremony but I need all the luck I can get.

    Mr. Cowen,

    And the Leprechaun did not come today?
    They are knowledgeable of the location of several hidden treasures ...

    Because of this economic crisis I needed to talk to him!

    Mr. Cowen,

    Confirm for me one thing?
    For we obtain the pot of gold guarded by Leprechaun we must capture him and not lose sight of him never.
    That is right?

    C'mon I know I campaigned for more green jobs to grow our economy but I think this is way out of line. Plus I already have an Obama Chia pet growing like crazy.

    Mr. Cowen forgot to bring a traditional Irish gift from his homeland, fortunately though he was able to dig these shamrocks out of his garden.
