    Cheney, Obama 'distant cousins'

    :rolleyes:

    Next thing you hear

    Bush and Osama are cousins too

    I remember reading some where that Obama has Irish roots.is that correct ?
    or do we just create such rumors to get them invest more here :D

    "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"

    That's one fantastically distant relation. About as crazy as meeting another Irish person on a trip to Boston.

    I think the fact that it was a French relative they had in common is even better after the whole John Kerry shouldn't be president because he "looks french" thing during the last election. I'm sure cheney nearly choked on his "freedom fries" when he heard the news.
