Obama and Cheney distant relatives!
According to Wolfie, who was quoting Lynn Cheney, at least. OK. What's the angle here? There has to be one.

5. Yes, and you and my cat are distant relatives, too.
Even further back, I'm related to my front lawn.

So?

7. I'm wondering why Lynn Cheney decided to drop that turd.
That's all.

8. Probably to avoid talking about what a disaster for this country her husband is,
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 04:12 PM by impeachdubya
and to engage in a little bit of faux-WASP "see how not racist I am" light banter, that would be my guess.

9. They may be looking at the next Democratic administration,
and sweating about what will come out from totally open investigations into their crimes, once the */Cheney stonewall is no more. Maybe they think Dems will be more lenient if the cabal affects some connection with the Democratic "base."
:crazy:

11. I am going to go back and check out this.
Obama is releated to the Chaneys in Maryland thru his white mother. Now spelling doesn't count because there was a lot of that in the census. From what I see none of Cheney's relatives ever went near Maryland. The New England states and then on to the mid west.

17. Obama's also related to Bush - 11th cousin
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 05:37 PM by RamboLiberal
It sure would be an awkward family reunion. But, believe it or not, Barack Obama is related to both President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

OK, distantly related: Obama and Bush are 11th cousins.

That's because they share the same great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents -- Samuel Hinckley and Sarah Soole Hinckley of 17th century Massachusetts.

-----

Obama is related to Cheney through Mareen Duvall, a 17th century immigrant from France.

Mareen and Susannah Duvall were Obama's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents and Cheney's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents.

And Bush/Cheney are related according to this article.
