Michael D. Higgins was one of my lecturers in University College, Galway and I'm soooooo proud of what he's just said. I've just come back from The U.S.A. ( I love it ) but I really want some of The President's supporters to start fighting back. I watched the GOP Primaries and was sickened by the venality, stupidity and dishonesty of the candidates. Gingritch saying that he was going to found a colony on the moon which could apply for Statehood.....he doesn't know how to find jobs for people on Earth; Romney, who in one interview didn't know how much money he had and who said in one interview that he like one State because .....ALL THE TREES WERE JUST THE RIGHT HEIGHT; as for the other idiot, Santorum, does he know that fire has been invented and that the earth is not flat ? Go Michael, tell it as it is !
