Hahaha! Did anyone see that Bush-Cheney-Obama are all related!

I know this needs to be moved to a different location, so mods, do your job.

This is like a bad accident, you just gotta look:

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Go back far enough, the saying goes, and everyone's related.

But could it be possible that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Vice President Dick Cheney share a common ancestor?

Cheney's wife Lynne says yes.

In an interview on MSNBC Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Cheney said that in the course of researching her husband's genealogy for her new book, "Blue Skies, No Fences," she discovered that the two public figures share an ancestor eight generations ago.

"Think about this," Mrs. Cheney said. "This is such an amazing American story that one ancestor, a man that came to Maryland, could be responsible down the family line for lives that have taken such different and varied paths as Dick's and Barack Obama's."

Mrs. Cheney's spokeswoman Ginny Justice gave CNN's Ed Henry more details, saying the two unlikely relatives are related through a French Huguenot named Mareen Duvall. Cheney and Obama are both descendants of her.

According to Justice, the vice president is related to her through "the first" Richard Cheney, who came to America in the 1650's. His granddaughter married Samuel Duvall, son of Mareen Duvall.

But is blood thicker than the partisan waters of Washington? Apparently not.

Even though Obama is related to her husband, Mrs. Cheney said she is not supporting the Illinois Democrat's White House bid.

Reacting to the news, Obama's campaign spokesman Bill Burton told CNN's Dana Bash with tongue in cheek, "Obviously, Dick Cheney is sort of the black sheep of the family."

But Obama's family ties to the Bush administration don't stop with Cheney. According to an article in the Chicago Sun-Times last September, Obama is also an 11th cousin of the president himself. The two share a 17th century Massachusetts relative.

Obama is part of the Clinton-Bush dynasty--no change at all.

Years ago I ran across a very interesting website. Wish I had bookmarked it at the time.

This website was about a British organization that has always predicted accurately who the next president of the USA would be.

How did they do that?

Their predictions were based on genealogy. The presidential candidate with the strongest bloodline decended from royalty is who they predicted would win.

I just recalled... it was the year Gore ran for president and that site said that it was going to be a very close race since both Gore and Bush had just about the same amount of royal blood. Though, Bush had slightly more.

The revolution continues.

If this is the same site, I have the same interest as RonPaulCult... I would like to see what prediction they have and also, what predictions they have come up with in the past.

All Presidents beyond John Adams, with the exception of Jackson and Reagan, are related to a former President, this is a true fact, it is no conspiracy.

Any Proof? I have heard these type of allegations, which are intriguing, but have never seen any substance. I'm sure the Mormon Genealogy Records would have some great insight.

I looked at the site and I don't recall it at all.

The site I read what I posted earlier didn't have any log-in requirements.

I'll try a google search and see if I can find what I was looking at eight or so years ago.

Well, I have just heard the reports from the MSM, and you know how anti-conspiracy they are.

Barbara Bush is a direct descendant of Franklin Pierce, one of the worst presidents in our history.

How funny, my grandmother told me we are related to Betsy Ross, and Frank James.

Of course being related to Frank James doesn't help :)

I never heard this till now.


Today, it seems no single definition does justice to Obama — or to a nation where the revelation that Obama's eighth cousin is Dick Cheney, the white vice president from Wyoming, caused barely a ripple in the campaign.

Obama's true colors: Black, white ... or neither?
Many people insist that 'the first black president' is actually not black

Bush is also a cousin of John Kerry (3rd or 4th), I believe.
