Bomshell revealed about Obama

[Thump553]

On the NBC Nightly News tonight, they revealed a genealogy (sp?) study done on Obama, Hillary Clinton & McCain. In addition to the prior revelation that Obama is related to Cheney, they now reveal he is related to six US Presidents, including both Bushes. I'd like to see how he spins that skeleton in his closet.

Incidentally Hillary is related to Celine Dion (fitting, I think) and McCain is related to Laura Bush.

When is this stupidity going to end we are all related to one another, it only varies by degree.

If you go back far enough, you could probably find that Obama is related to Hitler, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Laden as well :roll:

is this a David Letterman joke?

[Duddy]

Hmm... valid point... Do we want somebody raised with those values in our whitehouse?

Dark Helmet: [mask down] Not so fast, Lone Starr.
Lone Starr: Helmet. So, at last we meet for the first time for the last time. [thinks about what he said] Yeah.
Dark Helmet: Before you die, there is something you should know about us, Lone Starr.
Lone Starr: What?
Dark Helmet: I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former room-mate.
Lone Starr: What's that make us?
Dark Helmet: Absolutely nothing.

yea... my last name is King, so its highly possible that my bloodline can be traced back to royalty. Its also highly possible that this royalty was a very suppressive and abusive monarchy that slaughtered children and drank the blood of blond virgins.

It could be royalty of the hamburger joint variety.

I don't see how this is relevant to how good a president Obama would be. I'm not an Obama fan either.

This is somewhat old news, and I feel sort of bad for saying this but when this originally came out a few months back my relatives in Maryland (who have this huge genealogy done of our family) found that I am also related to Dick Cheney about as closely as Obama is here. Yes, I feel dirty... and the dirt won't scrub off! Ahhhhhh

Hillary has French-Canadian genes in her? Man, that explains a lot.

Here's an article about it:

Black Sheep in Obama's family

I forgot about the Churchill link, maybe that balances off GWB.

I know I'm never researching my predecessors now.

Well, Bill Clinton has one too!

lol...

Ooohhhh Nooos! This has to be the lamest attack yet.

 

[Lemon law]

Well, I too would be shamed if I were somehow related to Dick Cheney. But then again, it could be a motivator to be extra special good to redeem the rest of the famdamily average.

As for me, I have far too much Scandinavian blood in me to be related to Dick Cheney. But I may have been somehow related to some Vikings. Its been so long ago, I can't remember. But history tells us its the Vikings who made long distance voyages of theft, pillage, and rape into an art form. There was always something honest about them folks, they did not try to demonise those they victimized, or justify it as nation building with them as the liberators, its was simply have long boat will travel. No swift boats for us.
