Irish Thought for January 25...

Irish-American Fact:

In 1928, Alfred E. Smith was the first Irish Catholic to run for president as a major party candidate, although he lost to Herbert Hoover.  The only Irish Catholic to have become president is John F. Kennedy.

I think Irish Americans have so much to offer the coumtry.  Maybe, we need to think about running for office again!
