US president Barack Obama visits Belfast this morning to press for renewed efforts to end community division in Northern Ireland.
Accompanied by Michelle Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha, he will address an invited audience of some 1,500 school pupils aged 16 and over from schools across the city and elsewhere in the North.
It is understood he will call on them to work for a more shared society and the eventual removal of Belfast’s peace walls.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013

When he's done solving the Northern Ireland crisis, perhaps he can turn his attention to THIS AGE OLD QUESTION
He really feels morally superior to everyone else.
The bureaucracy: the new fourth branch of government. The bureaucracy is permanent, unaccountable, unelected and choking us like a weed. The bureaucrat exists, generating nothing of value, using perceived problems to justify his existence.
Secret Service agents are disguising themselves as farmers to protect Barack Obama from terrorist threats at the G8 summit in Northern Ireland.
They have even bought a fleet of tractors ahead of the US President’s arrival tomorrow for the two-day meeting.
The agents’ plan is to pose as local farmers in the sprawling fields around the five-star lakeside hotel complex hosting the huge event.
But locals near the Lough Erne resort reckon it will not take any potential terrorists long to spot the agents — as their sparkling tractors are all brand new.

Evidently farmers talk the same down to earth language the world over. It's pretty tough to fool a farmer on his own turf.
Maybe the multiple communications antennae will give them away?

It's pretty tough to fool anybody local because they are going to look up and see people they have never seen before,SOME OF THEM BLACK,plowing fields that belong to people they have known for generations.

It's good of the community organizer to take the trouble to go to Northern Ireland and make it into the same peaceful paradise he helped turn Chicago into,huh?
HEY! WAIT A MINUTE,HERE..........
