Barack Obama is a \u201cwar criminal\u201d and a \u201chypocrite,\u201d an Irish politician has said in a damning attack on the US president. The MP slammed the Irish treatment of Obama during his G8 visit as akin to \u2018prostituting\u2019 Ireland for a \u201cpat on the head.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irish MP Clare Daly took no prisoners in her heated attack on the visit of the Obama family to Ireland during this year\u2019s G8 summit, which was held in the five-star resort of Lough Erne, Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
During a session of the Irish parliament last Tuesday, Daly slammed media coverage of the visit as tantamount to “a nation of pimps, prostituting ourselves in return for a pat on the head.”<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to know which is worse, whether it\u2019s the outpourings of the Obamas themselves, or the sycophantic fawning over them by sections of the media and the political establishment,\u201d said Daly, saying that the Irish nation had been subjected to \u201cunprecedented slobbering\u201d over the presidential family. <\/p>\n
