Famous relatives of Barack Obama

[living not existing]

I find it amusing that on his mother's side, he is distantly related to the first [and only] president of the Confederacy. That's ought to be very awkward. I put the name of presidents in bold, he's related to quite a few.

Yes, that sort of thing can happen when you mix cream in with the coffee.

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't see Jefferson Davis on that list. Maybe they were thinking about General Lee. James Longstreet wasn't it either, he was a under Lee.

Yeah, cuz BO is so cool tha the's related to cool people...royalty in the veins, eh?

[Robert Kayland]

Why the eye roll?

Because of this inane Entertainment Tonight type of news:

"Oh, looky... a black man related by blood to all these famous white people, especially great Southern generals of the Civil War, tee hee... that should really put a bee in bonnets of those Daughters Of The Confederacy!"
