19. MSNBC quoting Irish Times: 'Up to 60,000' hear Obama speech in Dublin

On television, it certainly looked like a huge crowd that greeted President Obama at the College Green in Dublin.

Irish Times reports that "up to 60,000 people" heard the speech.

The paper writes, "To rousing cheers he introduced himself as: 'Barack Obama, of the Moneygall O’Bamas. I am here to find the apostrophe that we lost along the way."

Obama drew on the strong Irish heritage in the United States, saying, "You can say there's always been a little green behind the red, white, and blue."

He ended his speech: "Is feidir linn." Yes We Can!
