Following the 39th G8 summit , Daly accused the Fine Gael-Labour government of “ prostituting ” the country to President Barack Obama and criticised what she described as media and political " slobbering " over his wife Michelle and their children during their stay in Ireland . She also called Obama a hypocrite and a war criminal for speaking about peace whilst using drones to bomb foreign civilians and wanting to supply weapons to Syrian rebels . Taoiseach Enda Kenny responded to her comments , saying they were " disgraceful " and " beneath you " and invoked the diaspora and to the victims of The Troubles since President Obama has supported peace in Northern Ireland . Daly 's remarks were covered by the international media and Daly gave interviews explaining them
