On St. Patrick's Day, Barack Obama announced his intention to visit Moneygall, his ancestral hometown, during an upcoming trip to Ireland. It's believed the visit will occur on May 23rd, but locals aren't wasting any time getting ready. In addition to repainting the entire main street and other such preparations, residents gathered last weekend to make a video to accompany the Corrigan Brothers's boisterous song, "Welcome Home President Barack Obama" (lyrics here). If the video is any indication, President Obama is in for a lively reunion!
