From Ireland.com
Obama, an Illinois senator, said all McCain offers “is four more years of the same George W. Bush policies that have gotten us into this pickle.”
He noted McCain’s support for extending Bush’s tax cuts, which Mr Obama said would help the wealthy, and his support for trade agreements that Mr Obama said do not protect US workers. ”His response to the housing crisis amounts to little more than standing on the sidelines and watching millions of Americans lose their homes,” Obama said in Wilkes-Barre.
The thing to be remember is who is he wanting to protect US workers from. While I am guessing it is mainly geared at NAFTA and Mexico the other thing to remember is that many Irish workers to are dependent on American Multinationals out sourcing from America to Ireland.

Ain’t that the ironic thing. Irish people are generally quick to say that they would prefer to see a Democratic president win. But on the nuts and bolts issues that matter to us here - i.e. the global economy, then the Republican free trade position is much better for us than the protectionist Democratic one.
So McCain FTW!
It’s just a pity he supports anti-science nonsense like vaccines cause Autism…
