President Obama: "Thank you thank you Brian, how often do I need to water it? You know I don't have much water now in White House ..."
Thanks... I'll put your modest proposal before Congress!
We give out so many green cards to the people of Ireland , and in return you give us a bowl of grass !!!
Thanks for joining us for the potluck! We love green here at the White House.
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 green Goddess dressing & I'm good to go!!
I'm looking over a 4-closure clover.
Pres. Obama: Can I get 60 billion to go please?
"I rish I could get this country back on track ! "
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.
Thanks for the bowl full of green.
I bet it'll be easier to find a four leaf clover in here, than it is to stop AIG's currupt spending.
President Obama: "Do you really think I am going to need all this luck?"
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?
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 can you please add this to your Health Care stimulis program?

"We were going to include a case of Guiness–the real stuff–but we uh, drank it. Sorry, enjoy the plant!"
"Happy St. Patty's day! Here's your Irish-Afro wig" .
"Wow, how thoughtful Mr. Cowen. In return I'd like to present you with the Shrek DVD trilogy in celebration of St. Patrick's Day!."
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.
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!
"Couldn't let these go to waste sir...freshly picked from Bernie Madoff's herb garden."
Thanks, but I was hoping for a pot of gold.

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?
Here's your hosewarming present, I tred to get you something unique.
Looks like a WHEATGRASS PLANT : One of the things you should eat when you have CANCER!
And Gordon Brown thought I was cheap.
Pres Obama ask Mr Cowen, can I get about 60 billion of these?
Mr. O ' Bama, From your homeland where the grass is greener!
President Obama: "Thank you Mr. Cowen, oh... if I don't cut my hair for three months, my hair should look like this... that's not too bad ...hahaha..."
Taoiseach Brian Cowen went on to say, "Seeing as to how the world is watching it's wallet, I got you a little something Mr. President, duty-free."
"I think Ill be needing much more luck than this could give me."
Thanks Brian. I don't have much of a green thumb but I'm hoping I can grow an economy..."
If only President Obama had been Irish, we would have a much greener economy recovery plan!

"So Mr President, where is my set of DVDs?"
No thanks. I'm president now. I gave this stuff up a long time ago.
With all of these cut backs, we're having to put you on cut backs too... here's your salad.
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.
Thanks for the weed, ah! I mean Shamrock Mr. Cowen...:)
Thanks Mr. Cowen. You're right... with all these shamrocks, I'm gonna need all the luck in the world to get out of this recession.
Obama: Please do not kiss me, I am not Irish!!!
Do u know this St. Patrick? If he has paid his taxes I could really use him as a member of my cabinet
