As New York’s Saint Patrick’s Day parade steps off this morning, it’s not only the Irish who are smiling. At least, not only those we typically think of as Irish. Over in the Democratic presidential race, there is the man we referred to in a May 3, 2007, editorial as “Barack O’Bama,” whose great-great-great-great grandfather was Joseph Kearney, a shoemaker from Moneygall, County Offaly, Ireland, who lived from 1794 to 1861 and arrived in New York as an immigrant in 1850. We noted at the time that while much has been made of Mr. Obama’s Kenyan roots, little has been made of his Irish ancestry.
