Obama Gets Gaelic Football Invite

BBC:

Eight of the world's most powerful leaders will meet next month in a Fermanagh hotel.

Away from prying eyes, the G8 will discuss the issues of the day.
But out of Cameron, Merkel, Putin, Obama, Hollande, Abe, Napolitano and Harper, it looks like Obama might be the most popular.
He's the only one invited to a pint and a GAA game, anyway.
Cavan man Dean Arrowsmith has invited the world leader to sample Gaelic football for himself.

The Ulster quarter-final takes place on Sunday 16 June at the 18,000-seater Brewster Park in Enniskillen.

Perhaps a bit of Obama's 'Yes We Can' spirit will be all the Cavan players need to help them beat Fermanagh.
It was after Cavan's 1-15 to 1-11 win over Armagh at the weekend that Mr Arrowsmith wrote his email to the White House.
"If you have time in your hectic schedule," it reads, "I would like to invite you to attend the game with myself and a few friends, I will even pay in to the game for you (it's only €15), and let you experience the national game of our country for the first time."
The 24-year-old, who used to promote Dundalk FC in the Airtricity League, told Obama he would "buy you a pint of Guinness and discuss the trials and tribulations of what occurred on the field."

The President ought to take him up on the offer, but he might be able to buy the beer instead. I'd definitely take a Gaelic football primer from somebody in the know.
