Like oil companies who get tax credits from the Feds?

Depends on if it was a refundable or non-refundable credit or earned income tax credit that resulted in the refund. It is quite possible to owe zero income tax and get extra free money from the government as an income tax refund. Cool!

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Yet one more staged publicity/campaign event in the three plus year long attempt to win in November 2012. Maybe someone can help me understand Barry's fixation with the Irish, why is he trying so hard to appeal to the Irish and the rest of the Eurozone on a social level?

IMHO, energy prices and the continuing war in Afghanistan (now elongated by Barry and his staff) will be Barry's undoing in 2012. It will be interesting to see if the American public got any smarter over the last three years.

BTW, club GITMO is still open and now it's open with the full consent of Barry and an administration that campaigned on closing club GITMO.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Obama has relatives in Ireland....why is it an issue that he chose to celebrate St Patrick's Day?

?I thought his position had not changed. He just has not
found a real world way to do it.

So shouldn't Barry's last name be O'bama?

I likely have relations in Burkina-Faso that are my 300th cousins because I'm a human being, however you won't see me celebrating any of the national holidays of Burkina-Faso as a result.

Yes it was. And I'm sure the pub had no idea that he was stopping in, and I'm sure the revelers we genuinely surprised to suddenly see the President of the United States joining with them at the party... just like the rest of the 99 percent.
