Is féidir linn

Today finished off a busy week in Ireland with Barack Obama paying a flying visit. After some meetings in the city he headed off to Moneygall to meet his cousins and his route out of the city took him over my office. I missed the flight out and almost missed the flight back but just got out the door in time to see one of his Marine helicopters fly directly over my head between two buildings. Was he on board? Since the idea of using two identical helicopters is that no one outside his group knows which one he is in so I’ll be positive and assume he was on board this one. I managed to grab one photo and then he was gone back into the city center to address the crowds waiting there and to practice his Irish, “Is féidir linn” or Yes We Can.
