"No kissing among cousins: Obama, Bush are kin" : News-Record.com : Greensboro, North Carolina

Genealogical Society found some remarkable family connections.

Obama is a distant cousin of George W Bush and Dick Cheney

Obama is also distant cousins of Brad Pitt and direct distant relatives of

pres. Gerald Ford
pres. Lyndon Johnson
pres. Harry Truman
pres. James Madison

distant cousin of Winston Churchhill and Civil War General Robert E Lee.

Maybe Obama is destine to become president



Hillary is also distant relatives to some well known people. While Obama is a distant cousin to Brad Pitt, Hillary is a distant cousin to Brad Pitt's girlfriend Angelina Jolie.

Hillary is a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. Hillary is also related to Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Prince Charles in England (another so called first lady).

John McCain is also sixth cousin to First Lady Laura Bush.

This reminds me of the Sister Sledge song in 1979 "We are Family" LOL

We are all descendants of Charlemagne.

Genealogy companies are a bunch of crock.

True genealogy is field work that you do yourself, digging into family trees and archives and coming up with proving documents yourself, with the work of your own hands, not paying some crock companies a few dollars to punch in a few letters into a computer.

So if we elect Obama, are we getting another 4 years of Bush and Cheney?

I have blue eyes. This apparently makes me related to every one else with blue eyes. (And some dude in Turkey going WAAAAY back)
Blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor

I can sing a little bit like Frank Sinatra...

OMG....are you serious??? Obama looks like Dumbo NOT Brad Pitt. He is so not the handsome dude so many are making him out to be. Give me Denzel, Will Smith, or even Brad Pitt (who I don't even like) but don't try to put Obama in the class.....Obama is not handsome at all!

I actually think that Denzel and Will Smith are average. The media tells us they are amazingly attractive, so we fall in line with it. When you really look at them, Denzel is pretty plain looking and Smith looks like a goof. If I had to choose between the two, Smith is better looking. Obama is not gorgeous, but he is relatively handsome. Of course, this my opinion having never met any of these people! Personality can make all the difference in how you perceive looks; and I don't mean the personality that comes through the TV.
