Obama, Cheney Related. Worse, Obama, Bush Related.

They look alike, don't they? According to Lynne Cheney, during her research for her memoir, "Blue Skies, No Fences," she discovered that her husband Dick Cheney and presidential candidate Barack Obama are related --- they are ninth cousins, once removed.

According to Lynne Cheney, Obama is a descendent of Mareen Duvall. Her son married the granddaughter of a Richard Cheney, who arrived in Maryland in the late 1650's from England.

"Every family has a black sheep," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.

Stranger than this is that apparently Obama is related to George W. Bush because they share the same great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents --- Samuel Hinckley and Sarah Soole Hinckley of 17th century Massachusetts, making them tenth cousins once removed.

Of course, Bush is also related to John Kerry, they are ninth cousins, two times removed. And I am removing myself from this "conversation."

We're on the same planet, so we all are related. But then I'd never vote for any of these clowns

In that case he won't be getting my vote.

So now we are judging people because they are distantly related to an idiot? That's crazy! So if Hitler was related to Martin Luther king Jr would that negate the civil rights movement and progress due to his actions. Jesus is Satan's Brother. Does that negate Christianity? Be serious...

I don't think anyone's judging based on this... it seems more in the "Hmmm, Interesting" catagory. These days we barely know our own immediate families, let alone have any responsability for the thousands of dead folk that we are "related" to.
