We feel for you Enda, we really do.

Enda Kenny might be in the middle of a nice jaunt to the States at the moment but he’s had a tough time of it in the last few days.

As if having his name spelt wrong on a major US TV station wasn’t bad enough, Enda was left hanging by his old chum Barack Obama when he went to shake the US President’s hand at the White House yesterday.

To be fair to Enda, he tried his best to redeem himself by instantly pulling his hand back and looking at his fingers to make it seem like a natural movement, but the damage was done at that stage.

We’re here if you need us big guy.
