Obama to snub Ireland this weekend

American celebrity Barack Obama is scheduled to snub Ireland on Monday, if not this weekend, by flying back to the United States directly from London.

Obama has been granted an audience with French President Sarkozy today, after which he travels to London for talks with Gordon Brown. The Illinois Senator refused to countenance the one hour flight from London to Dublin, although top aides impressed on him Ireland’s political and economic clout.

Rumours circulated that Obama feared his vague stance on chlorinated chickens would earn him the ire of Irish poultry farmers. The EU has banned poultry imports from the U.S for the past 11 years because the Americans refuse to stop chlorinating their birds.
