okay.....so for some reason I'm checking Cheetah....nowhere so far, but someone up there said Chester A. Arthur...so I figured Chester Cheetah, Cheetah or cheetos lol maybe next I'll try Arthur, that's a kids show. Who knows. Maybe I'm weird. 😉

OK, here are my thoughts. I don't think its Kennedy because they used him already. Buchanan's father was an emigre from Ireland. Saw that on a history web site. Also noticed that Buchanan was an envoy to Russia.

Remember the "on a dime" was Roosevelt who was President during the Korean War and the listing was "Korean ceramic cup".

Now here's the rub. There are too many listings with Russia (or Russian) and I DON"T REALLY KNOW WHAT I'm LOOKING FOR. Is there any way to tell without looking at the listing itself? Anyone know any tricks for checking faster?

you cant possibly think any of the answers are going to come from presidents do you...they are twisting are heads till they pop... its probably going to be 1940's gumball machine with one leg missing

Having lived during the Kennedy years, the press always made a big deal of his Irish heritage. They referred to his dad as "Black Jack" Kennedy and Kennedy visited Ireland while president, I think. The clue probably refers to him, but there is so darn much info about him, who knows what the clue will be that leads to the winning auction.

I'm really thinking this one is concerning a U.S. ambassador to Ireland, as in a "presidential emigree TO Ireland," see? One was named Michael Sullivan, so I searched Road to Perdition, but nada.

I haven't been on in awhile and there are too many posts to go through. Can someone please tell me if the Paypal image is on the winning item? It was still up for decision last time I was on. Also, will the winning item only have a the green cam. img? Thanks anyone for your help.

How about this:
Presidential Ireland Emigree
President Polk + Irish is Irish Polka? Irish Polka, dancing, ?

hollybeari02 · ‎02-21-2005

it cant be a president because you cant be a president if you werent born in the country.

Eamon De Valera, born in NY and moved to Ireland, became president, can't searh, gotta put the baby to bed. Good Luck!!!

another line of thought...Patricia Ireland was the President of NOW (National Org. for Women) Since they had free speech champ & human rights champ as clues why not a women's rights champ??

Lol what is the ebay admin were watching all this and as soon as someone got close to the answer they changed it... or what if they just type in a random auction number for the item and the clue is like the first thing that pops in their head... oh cruel cruel world!
