DUBLIN, Jan. 16, 2009 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) ----To mark the inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth President of the United States of America, Irish bookmaking chain Paddy Power are offering a wide range of Obama themed betting opportunities.

With an expected domestic TV audience in excess of 50-million, customers of Paddy Power can place bets on the duration of President Obama's speech, what "cliche" he will first mention during his address, the actual number of viewers that tune in and whether the TV audience will exceed that of Superbowl XLIII.

Other Obama bets on offer from Paddy Power include which country (after Canada) Obama will first officially visit as President of the United States, his first year approval ratings and how many Oscar winners will mention Obama in their acceptance speech!

Paddy Power famously paid out over EUR 1,000,000 on Barack Obama winning the 2008 Presidential race a full 10-days before polling day last year. Already President Obama is the bookmaker's odds-on 4-5 favourite to win in 2012 which gives him a 56% of success.

[nobody's_hero]

When Al Gore creates his climate-altering machine and bends everyone to his will, I believe these odds will change.

Bwua Ha Ha Ha.

I know...it's all a little ridiculous. But...hell, at least they acknowledged his existence.

I think Huckabee could have a good run in 2012 if Obama doesn't make good on his promises (not that it benefits us).

I think your right. With his own tv show on Fox now he can just become more and more well known. Then again, he may be happy to have his own tv show...I mean who wouldn't want to have their own tv show!

Eh, I don't think so. I can't see many people liking him....not only that, those odds are greatly distorted. Does anyone in the country NOT think Sarah Palin is a complete and total moron?

I'm tellin' you guys, odds for Ron in 2012 are great.

[satchelmcqueen]

if paul gets as much positive coverage then as he is now i think the odds are for him.
