Obama Courts Irish Votes (Edited)

The New York Times takes a look at Brack Obama's visit with Irish-American voters in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Lest any of you question his Irish bona fides:

Mr. Obama left the stage with a joke about how there is an apostrophe in his name _ that would make it O’Bama — and said his first name was really Baragh, which he pronounced with a thick brogue. “It’s actually an old Celtic name,” he said.
