Yes Barack Obama could be Barry O'Bama. Some of his ancestors on his mother's side trace back to the town of Moneygall in County Offaly.
Falmouth Kearney, Obama's great-great-great grandfather emigrated from Moneygall to New York City at the age of 19 in 1850. He eventually resettled in Tipton County, Indiana. Tipton by the way is not too far from where I grew up.
