Is Obama and Irish name like Osullivan or Oreilly?
No, it's Kenyan. Although apparently his mother had some Irish family...not sure about where. The Irish papers made a big deal about it. Not really surprising - most Americans are very mixed and there is a lot of irish ancestry in the population.
Reply:Obama is probably African but Barrak I am not sure.


In Waterford they have Barrack Street I wonder will they rename it to "Barrack Obama Street" to get some publicity if he wins. ... and then say that he is Irish.
Reply:No, it's just a name beginning with O.





The Irish names with the O' prefix means 'grandson of' and the names are O'Sullivan and O'Reilly - Not Osullivan and Oreilly
Reply:It's just as common. Actually it's written O' Bama. There's the O' Bama's from Monaghan and the O' Bama's from Skibereen and it's a very common name up around Donegal.
Reply:no


because they're both spelled like O' Sullivan and O' reilly





Obama is, i think, kenyan
Reply:No if it was it would be O'Bama besides it was his mothers family that was from ireland
Reply:The Irish names are actually spelled O'Sullivan or O'Reilly, and these are anglicisations.
Reply:Obama is Kenyan
Reply:Doubt that it's Irish.
Reply:No
Reply:no
Reply:no......it's not
Reply:Doubtful, but it makes me think of my favorite Irish joke:





What's green and sits outside?
