Obama is related to Cheney lol...
    #7586418 - 11/02/07 01:57 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

True story.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7048325.stm
Quote:


They may be polar opposites politically but US Vice-President Dick Cheney and Democratic candidate Barack Obama are related, Mr Cheney's wife says.

Lynne Cheney said she had discovered while doing family research for a new book that her husband and the Illinois senator were eighth cousins.

She said she traced a common ancestor of the two men to be a 17th century immigrant from France.

She described the connection as "amazing".

"This is such an amazing American story that one ancestor... could be responsible down the family line for lives that have taken such different and varied paths."

According to Mrs Cheney's spokeswoman, Mr Obama is distantly related to Mareen Duvall, whose son Samuel married the granddaughter of Mr Cheney's ancestor, also called Richard Cheney.

Mr Obama's spokesman, Bill Burton, responded to the news by saying: "Every family has a black sheep."

Mr Cheney, the brooding neo-conservative closely associated with the decision to invade Iraq, has little else in common with Mr Obama.

Mr Obama, the son of a Kenyan man and a white woman from Kansas, has earned epithets like "rock star" because of his popularity among young Democrats, and a reputation as a liberal because of his voting record in the Senate.

Yeah, and they're both big-government assholes who thrive off tax payers dollars and operate at high levels of U.S. politics so they can tell everyone how they should live their lives. The fact that they're related really doesn't surprise me in the least.

:thumbup:

There aren't really two parties.  They're are the same, except for:
1) I do/don't want them queers to marry
2) I do/don't want them girls to be able to abort.
3) I do/don't want to kill the arabs for no particular reason.


That is all
