"Cheney and Obama are distant cousins"

WTF? Yup! CLICK HERE to read all about it.

Cheney and Obama are distant cousins: Mrs. Cheney

There's no sign of a family reunion planned, but U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama are distant cousins.

So says the vice president's wife, Lynne Cheney, who said she discovered that her husband of 43 years is eighth cousins with the senator from Illinois.

The two men could hardly be more different. Cheney is an advocate for pursuing the war in Iraq to try to stabilize the country, while Obama wants to get U.S. troops out of Iraq.

Mrs. Cheney told MSNBC on Tuesday that it was "an amazing American story that one ancestor … could be responsible down the family line for lives that have taken such different and varied paths."

The common ancestor was Mareen Devall, who the Chicago Sun-Times said was a 17th century immigrant from France.

Mrs. Cheney said she discovered the link through family research for her new book, "Blue Skies, No Fences," about growing up in Wyoming.

"Obviously, I think it's important for America and the world that a Democrat wins the White House. Hillary's my choice because she has the best experience and the deepest knowledge of the issues. She is a leader ready to repair America's standing in the world, put the economy back on track, and end the Iraq war with diplomacy and patience."

Obama's mother is white. They are probably related on his mother's side. They are 8th cousins - pretty distant. However, it must be a terrible shock for Obama to find that he is related to such a terrible man. I hope people won't hold this against Obama. Also, there is no way Cheney could be part black - he has no soul.

His mother is white so i think it comes from that part of his background.

JONI YOU'RE AN IDIOT. OBAMA'S MOTHER IS WHITE AND HIS FATHER IS AFRICAN (KENYAN)

CHENEY IS OBVIOUSLY RELATED TO OBAMA ON HIS MOTHERS SIDE. AND SINCE HIS FATHER IS KENYAN-NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN-THE POSSIBILITY THAT HIS FAMILY WAS OWNED BY CHENEY'S FAMILY IS SLIM TO NONE.

You FUCKING idiots there was no "obama's grand dad or mom being owned" by cheney's family. Obama's mother was a White lady from Kansas.

Geez people, Cheney's ancestors did NOT rape Obama's. His mother is white, so that's where it must come from. And Obama's father is Kenyan, his family has not been in the US for that long obviously…

wake up white america, just wake up and look at the darkness creeping in all around you. everywhere there are black men they are tearing their world down around them, everywhere there are white men they are building their world up. take a hard look at africa, 95% of which has never been touched by the politics of the white man, yellow man or the red man, and resist the melting pot. it's ok to love yourself… white pride, world wide.

Ah shucks people; this is fun. America is the melting pot. It is the pot of gold at the end of the immigrant's rainbow. In 21st century America, everyone is part something. I, for instance, am part Polish, Irish, Native American, seashell, scrap metal, and one eighth dead rodent molecule. I love the fact that in a country with such diversity, a country that pursues the democratic freedoms of its citizens, we still, STILL, are completely bowled over and overwhelmed as to how WE each fit in to the intricate weave of American ethnic culture.

Yep. That shit is important. Right up there with, "Will I have my morning bowel movement?"

You might have some of that United States presidential blood coursing through your gonads right now. VOTE FOR SANCHEZ!
