Even though you and I do not look anything alike, it's amazing how our Irish ancestors got around!
Erin go Braugh!
Be sure none of your friends have a camera, and don't forget to inhale!
"Give this to Secretary of Agriculture! not to me."
Here is a replica of my hair in "Irish Green" for you mr. President
Tell the piano player I wanted a spanish ballad!...not a spinach salad!
I know I am .0001% Irish I guess this gift reflects it
Like your campaign, I think we should continue with a mix of strategy and superstition.
Obama: "This Chia Bowl is nice, but I'm still holding out for a Snuggie"
Mr President, I give to you our offering for the replacement of the sod at the National Mall. It spreads quickly and should fill in within 2-3 weeks.
Due to new luggage restrictions this plant is all I could carry on the plane for you
Thank Mr Cowen did you know my name is actually spelled O'Bama?
Thanks for the invitation for dinner. I brought salad !
Let's get a good picture here, this will obviously end up on beat 360.
"Thanks Mr. Cowen but I'm more of a arugula, myself," said Obama

"That's fantastic, Brian. Thank you very much. I could use a four leaf clover as well, if you've got one."
Going green is now the in thing, go figure!
This is all the green we can muster for a stimulus package.
Mr. President, I used your stimulus money to buy you this chia pet. I hope you like it...
I said I want green jobs.
A bowl of clovers???? I am dealing with a collapsing world economy, two wars, Wall Street greed, and you think this will change my luck?? Where are the four-leafed ones . . .
Just like the green that went to AIG – there's no plan – just throw this away at whatever you feel like. But I'd like to have the bowl back for next years presentation.

C'mon B- of course its good- I got it from Phelp's guy.
It aint easy being green, but we're sure trying!
Mr. President: I don't think all the luck in this bowl alone is going to solve the economic issues we're all dealing with!
President Barry H. O'Bama, may the stockmarket rise up to meet you.
May Pelosi always have your back.
May the economy shine warm upon your face,
and the deficit fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God help you clean up this economic mess and all these corporate shenanigans. Care for a pint Barry?
Obama- "I'll be happy to bail out the Irish Shamrock industry. Are you sure 170 billion is enough? Also, don't forget to include the $365 million for employee bonuses."

Man, this is way better than that ornamental pen holder.
After the recent embarassment from giving English Prime Minister Gordon Brown a stack of DVDs, President Obama is now considering giving dignitaries Chia pets in a crystal bowl.
David L., San Francisco, CA
President Obama: "My mother saved thehair from my first St. Patrick's day haircut 40 years ago and I want you to have it Mr. Cowen."
" Thank you for the clovers. Michelle and I will wear these and who knows?, we might get lucky!"
"Ohh Brian! Thanks but, I pass on grass!"
Actually, I'm allergic to shamrocks, but perhaps I'll have a rash of good luck!
Glenn
Austin, TX
Mr. President please return the bowl...times are tough and we did not get any stimulus relief.
As President, I'm insisting that people like you eat a salad like this everyday in order to receive the new government health benefit.
Thank you for the token of good luck. But we won’t be needing these…the Dow’s up again today!
Thanks for the gia pet.
Please pass to Hiliary for Bill. He does not inhail.
There once was a man named Obama
who won an election, yeah, Oh Mama!
with characteristic coolness and braveness
he got down to business
Yes Obama is certainly no Lama.
Mr. Cowen, if these are from Ireland, how did you get them past Customs?
Here you go Mr. President one for every new gray hair you’ll gain.
May the luck of the Irish be with you.....If not, It was nice to meet you any way !!!!!!!
Mr. President, on behalf of AIG, please accept a small token of our appreciation. It is truly a bonus to have such a green President in the white house!
Obama tells the Taoiseach he is from Hawaii and prefers musibi to greens.
Mr. Cowen, you're not fooling anyone...I saw you picking these earlier on the lawn.
Green, the new golden parachute is presented for this years Oscar to the leading actor in an action drama, Barrack Obama: World in Crisis.
Go green! Turn the White House into a greenhouse!
You say there "Magically Delicious!" I've heard that before
America's most famous Irishman O'bama tells the Taoiseach , "Some luck of the Irish has rubbed off on your lapel."
Just stare at this 20 minutes a day to releive all the stress AIG is causing you, we're cutting back so we cannot afford therapy!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
