The White House Thank you! It's my pleasure to welcome all of you—so many good friends—to the White House!And we are pleased to welcome the Taoiseach of.

We recognize the rich tapestry of our history—threads of clover green amid the red, white, and blue. I wore my hair down to my waist—and at the time, so did most of the men I dated. Like so many generations of immigrants, Irish Americans brought the best of their home with them on wind and steam ships so many years ago. It doesn’t matter when Joe’s ancestors left—a piece of that island was passed down to each generation in memories, and stories, and family lore, held close like a precious gem—an emerald heart that shines like the light after a storm. And we are pleased to welcome the Taoiseach of Ireland, Micheál Martin, and his wife Mary, as well as the Irish Delegation, to Washington, D. C. It’s my pleasure to welcome all of you—so many good friends—to the White House!
