White House goes green for St Patrick's Day

Fountains at the White House ran green yesterday to mark St Patrick's Day.

Inspired by her home-town of Chicago - where the city dyes the river green - Michelle Obama asked if the same could be done with their fountains.

A green dye was added, and soon enough the fountains on the north and south lawns of the White House were propelling green water.

If President Barack O'Bama Obama really wanted to use the White House fountains to celebrate his Irish ancestry they should have been running with Guinness.
