Calls For An Obama Tartan – We Have The Exclusive!
Posted on January 20, 2009
No. Really. Seriously.
Calls have been made for Barack Obama to mark his inauguration as US president by creating his own tartan.
The move would be the ideal way to celebrate Mr Obama’s Scottish ancestry and boost tourism, according to the Scottish Conservative Party.
Mr Obama can be traced to William the Lion, who ruled Scotland from 1165 to 1214, genealogists believe.
The Scottish Conservatives have written to Mr Obama about the tartan, which the party said could boost tartan exports amid the economic downturn.

There can be only The One.
“Mr Obama can be traced to William the Lion, who ruled Scotland from 1165 to 1214, genealogists believe.”
Actually, I think Obama’s lineage can be traced back to “William the Lyin’” who was half-brother to “Barry the Ditherer” and “Seamus No’Blamus.”
