Obama Shares Throwback Photo, Visit to Moneygall

The former president of America, Barack Obama took it to his instagram account to share memories of his visit to Moneygall

He wrote on his account

“This was back in 2011, when I was visiting the tiny town of Moneygall, the place where my great-great-great grandfather, a shoemaker named Falmouth Kearney, lived his early life. I marveled as I walked around on the same old floorboards that he did, then I had the privilege to address the people of Ireland on College Green. For me, this photo pretty much sums up their joyful spirit; a warmth and generosity that stay with me to this day. Happy St. Patrick’s Day—on this day, it’ll always be O’Bama.”
