When I said I wanted a greener White House, this isn't exactly what I had in mind.

Barack Obama breaks down another barrier becoming the first black leprechaun.
No more SHENANIGANS!!!!
"Sir, AIG agreed to pay back the bonus money. Here is 179 million dollars worth of shamrocks. They said you can keep the bowl!"
You know? When I was a kid in Hawaii. I use to smoke this stuff.
Here you go Mr President as per your order to bring you the head of The Green Giant for declining to be your pick for Surgeon General!
San Diego, CA.
Pres. Obama: (thinking) Thank goodness it wasn't tickets to Riverdance!
Give it to Geithner. It's the only thing that would be green in the US treasury.
The President smilingliy declines the Irish Ambassador's offer to declare him Mr. O'Bama for the day.
May be this is your little four leaves clover that will help you get through the mess that you inherited.
Hopefully this bush will fare better in the white house than the last one.
Find the four leaf clover and you won't need Tim to fix the economy.
I must say I really look good in green.
President Obama, I hope that you like salad. This one has a secret ingredient known as the the luck of the Irish.
AIG – A ll I s G reen, including this.
You know that this thing will probably won't be alive in a week. One of the talents Michelle lacks is a green thumb. I know I would be surprised too since she can pretty much do anything.
In the White House, President Obama celebrating his luck of the Irish with this bowl of shamrock!
Here Mr. President put this with the rest of your stash in the White House garden!
San Diego. CA.
Now now, I've been told we're moving too fast, let's keep the war on drugs out of the spotlight until next year.
Oh no really its nothing President Obama I ordered it on QVC before I came over.
"We just couldn't let these go to waste...freshly picked from Bernie Madoff's herb garden."
President Obama, I hope that you like salad. This one has a secret ingredient, the luck of the Irish.
I could have gotten you beer... but I don't think that would look quite appropriate.
Obama: *Puff-Puff* *Cough* ... You shoulda seen the look on that 80 year old ladies face when Biden and I crashed that golf cart into her house! Ahaha... Oh man, it was classic!
*Puff-Puff* *Cough* Dude... ... Has anyone ever told you that you look like a frog?
Cowen: Riiight... I'm just gonna go ahead and take this from you now...
Someone threw this in your fountain out on the White House lawn and turned the water green!!!
wow Dude you forgot the Tomatoes and the salad forks
Pres.Obama: Can I plant this next to the girls playgound?
Thanks! I might find some use for it... maybe hand it out as bonuses for AIG employees!
Mr. President I know something that will grow faster than your gray hair. This bowl of shamrock!
I bet Mr.Cowen that Guinness Ireland isn't looking for any bail out rescue even in this economy !!!
I usually give the president one four leaf clover at these events but do to the mess your in. I found every single one in Ireland for you . Let the Luck of the Irish be with you Mr. President.
I brought a lame gift President Obama, because I knew that all I would get from you is a boxed set of DVDs.
A Chia Pet for Sasha and Malia is better than some dog!
Thanks for the salad did you bring the salad dressing and the fork
7 trillion in debt and we get a bowful of clover and dirt... what a cheapskate.
Mr. President: Great. Now I just need a horseshoe and a rabbit's foot.
Spot any four-leafers? I'll get Gibbs to toss 'em at my approval ratings.
Mr. President I know something that will grow faster than you gray hair. This bowl of shamrock!
Michael Phelps is going to be so jealous.
President Obama finally found a way to use the hand-cut crystal bowl that he received as a present on Inauguration Day.
Sorry it's a small bowl, we gave the rest to AIG and they quickly handed us back just the sham they kept the rock.
This green stuff will save the economy!
Hey Mr. Cowen you think a little of that Irish luck will get me through this recession?
Let's hope there's at least one with four leaves in there!
America needs about 800 billion's in green, but I was kinda hoping for green money not green leaves
Sorry, no, I asked for Bleu Chese not the Vinagrette...
