Yeah, this surprises me. I thought there'd be as much interest in him as the Queen. Guess not.

Because people arn't obsessed with him like they were about the Queen.
They don't have the passion to "love to hate" like they had with the Queen.
Anyway the Queen didn't claim any Irish ancestory.

I actually met a whole load of American tourists this morning that are here to see Obama and then they're heading on to Italy. So we got their business at least!

He does seem down to earth alright, and I get the feeling he's not coming with the patronising "let's pat the paddys on the head" kinda attitude!

We'll always have any tom dick and harry American president coming over every 8 years and will go again, but the queens was a first royal visit in 100 years from a country which has had a massive impact on the politics and division of this island as a whole, in which a previous royal was murdered only 3 decades ago.
