President Obama lamented Tuesday that he couldn’t be back in his hometown of Chicago for its legendary St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Meeting with Irish Taoiseach Brian Cowen this morning in the Oval Office, Obama said he regretted he couldn’t be in Chicago today — where the river is dyed green, and temperatures today are hitting a rare 70+ degrees.
