Ireland’s Betting on Barack
Posted by Bossip Staff
Even the Irish know what’s up:
Ireland’s largest bookmaker, Paddy Power, is today claiming that the Democratic Nomination race is well and truly over and are already paying out on Barack Obama to be the successful Democratic nominee.The early payout signals a massive EUR50,000 ($75,000) payday to lucky punters who backed Obama over the recent number of weeks at various odds ranging from 4/1 to 4/9.
The unexpected decision by the Irish bookmaking firm comes almost a week after the Iowa primary election and just a day before the New Hampshire primary election where Barack is now the odds on favourite at 1/12 to demolish his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
The New Hampshire numbers are in and Barack leads with 41%, Hilary is second with 28%, and Russell Simmon’s yoga buddy John Edwards had a solid 19%.

I have never paid much attention to american politics coz I from the south of africa but I hope that Obama wins, he seems like a good leader!
Err um uh, anyone who believes this story please call me. I have some real estate to sell you on the Atlantic Coast of North Dakota. Let’s not get crazy. Bookies don’t pay BEFORE the final results under any cir*****stances.

I’m with Bird, this is hard to believe (though I’ve seen it reported in several places). If this is real, something funny is going on with that money and that bookie that has nothing to do with Obama. hehe.
wow. this “alleged” story aside, you mean to tell me this country(!) might actually be ready to have a black president?
Brothas and sistas let us pray. *takes each hand and forms a circle*
This nation needs some healing and I think Barack is the perfect man for the job.
Do you have any idea how MAJOR this could be? I get excited just thinking about it!

Correction, Barack is actually MIX, half BLACK half WHITE….. I do not know why the media keep saying that *****… “first black president” ***** they need to acknowledge his other side, which makes him the person he is!!!!!
Does anyone think that the known to be racist middle america/media is supporting Obama b/c they know he can’t win the general election? I mean I thought people lived in Iowa b/c they didn’t want to be around all those “coloreds” in places like New York, LA and other parts of the country.
What kind of question is that? America is ready for a good president be it black or white or man or woman. Let’s not get caught up in the self hate.
I support Barack Obama 100%
YEAH!!!
where did you find this incredible pic?? Where’s the credit?
The forces wouldn’t want him to win, because that means peace with humankind around the world!
What would Lock Heed Martin do?
Halliburton??
There will be no wars to fight.
The Congolese will drop their arms against each other.
African will see Barack and have faith and white men will respect black men.. I pray for the day.. But the FORCES are against it!
THE IRISH HAS ALWAYS BEEN DOWN WITH THE BROTHERS SINCE WW2.THEY NO SUFFERING BUT NOT ON OUR LEVEL FROM THE ROTTEN TEETH BRITS.DIS AIN’T NO BLACK OR WHITE THANG WE ARE ELECTING THE PERSON WE HOPE CAN BRING AMERICA BACK TO THE TABLE.LET ME GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO SINN FEIN AND THE I.R.A.
