How remarkable is this? The first and only Irish American/Catholic US President returning to Ireland to walk amongst the roots.

I didn't realize Ireland loved JFK so much! I'm sure they mourned as Americans did when he was executed!

We loved and still do love JFK. You see, he embraced his Irish roots.......he had been to Ireland before he came to politics if I remember correctly and his family were not overly interested . His father had been the American ambassador to the UK if I remember correctly. I think they wouldnt have liked Jack's interest in his Irish roots.......it was uncouth in a time of "no dogs, no blacks, no Irish". His ancestors had worked their way up. I read somewhere that being Irish in the USA wasn't considered in great esteem and that his relations worked hard to overcome the prejudice and distance themselves from their destitute past. Throughout generations, they worked their way up the social ladder and became involved in local politics. I like to think that this Irish trip was a necessary visit, but a nice distraction for him. He had a lot going on politically at the time.
