I am tired punchy and this was really funny-figured out the president is my cousin

SOOO, I have been doing our genealogy for a while and I got a paper that said that we are related to Richard Nixon. well darling daughter and I were talking about our President this evening and I recalled that he is also related to Richard Nixon SO ipso facto we are related to President Obama somewhere out there in the distant twigs of the family tree. So my honor society daughter was very excited to find out she is part BLACK!

I said I want tickets to the inauguration because we ARE family after all!!!!!

Ok I am very tired, if I sounded like an idiot don't kill me too much! We are incredibly psyched to find out we are related to the president no matter how far away it is.

You should be psyched.....I sure would be!

And you certainly don't sound like an idiot, tired or not...

Congrats!

I bet the president has thousands of cousins that have come out of the woodwork! I will have to e-mail the cousin who told me and ask him to send me the tree so I can see it and add it to mine.

I would definately bring my DU friends. Wouldnt that make the douchenozzels on my ignore list think again!


Too bad there is no way of telling him
