King John's castle

 Apparently Pres. Obama's white side comes back to a small town in Ireland, and the big man himself has come to have drinks at a cousin's pub.  They are VERY proud of this!  They've even made a huge stop on the freeway with a shopping center named after him.
 On our way to the cliff's of Moher, we stopped to see King John's castle.  You know, the guy who sucked his thumb and cried to mum, right? Here I learned a lot about Irish history (and have since forgotten 90% because my brain just doesn't retain that kind of info).  King John never lived here, but he did have the castle built.  And he was just as greedy and sucked the people bone dry as the cartoon portrays.
