didnt they say Obama was a 10th cousin to McCain as well.

I find it interesting that they find these people are all related.

Maybe its the Illuminati!

If you go back far enough, we're all basically 'cousins' to the nth degree.

Every single person on the planet descended from Mitochondrial Eve - so goes the prevailing theory.

This is very laughable to me in that I don't even consider 2nd cousins to be my relatives and know very few beyond that relationship. Actually, I wonder who gives a damn that far removed. I was also born in Kansas but don't think I am related to Obama.

I also read that McCain and Obama are related, but I don't know the degree.
And Cheney and Obama are 8th cousins.
