    No, Honestly ??? You're having a laugh surely. If he can trace his ancestry back to Co. Offaly then the Micks are a far more diverse nation than anyone ever gave them credit for.

    Apparently he is also a West Ham supporter !!!

    The Micks is certainly not derogatory, any more than Taffs and Jocks.

    Check out the history of the Irish Guards, known as the Fighting Micks.

    so does this imply that the "O" in Obama is as the "O"s in names like O'malleys ,O'kearneys and the long list of names like that? so maybe the real spelling is more like O'bama??
