Cheney: Yup, Obama’s My Cousin
EmailABC News’ Jennifer Duck Reports: Vice President Cheney stuck mainly to business and budget topics except for the last question during an interview with CNBC’s Larry Kudlow on Friday.
Kudlow asked him if Lynne Cheney’s comments about Obama and Cheney being related are true. Cheney responded that it was apparently true:
"Cousin Barack? No, we haven’t — haven’t had the opportunity to talk about it." Cheney said laughing at the question. You haven’t called him up to talk about the family tree, asked Kudlow.
"No. Well, I didn’t know whether that would help him or hurt him, so I thought I’d probably stay away from him, so. But apparently we do have a common ancestor, about eight or nine generations back."

Can Mitt Romney Win Conservatives Back?
I’ve got no problem with this but, the liberal extremists may hold this against Obama that’s for sure.

I think it’s cool they are related. They both seem cool with it too.
I am just glad Barack is not related to Hillary — boy do I think she is totally over-rated. What has she accomplished for the country since she has been in the senate? Not much. Oh, but she is managing to get rich and fill her pockets up with lobbyist and special interest money.
Do not even waist your time on Hillary Clinton and by no means should anyone vote for her.

America should not be surprised that there are alot of Black Americans and White Americans that are related. It is common knowledge that the former slave masters fathered children with the Black female slaves. Also there were some mixed race marriges between Whites, Indians, Blacks and other races. Just because someone is related to someone else it should not make any difference. That is what Americans are, a melting pot of all races.

Andrea Taylor…by no means should anyone vote for a candidate that is a member Obama isn’t, but his wife is….(that’s a little sneaky).

I’m sure not going to hold it against Barry and I hope no one else does. Obviously Barry’s good traits didn’t rub off on the Cheney side of the family.

According to all you religious zealots and bible believers God created everything including Adam and Eve right? Well if that is true then aren’t we all related? So why is this news?

What has Hillary got to do with this? Why do you guys dislike her so much this lady has not done anything that a true religious person has not done. 1.She remained married after her
husband’s-Monica affair,yes people like
you would like for her to leave.Remember
that marraige vows says for better or worse. 2.When she was the first Lady,she
was going to reform the health care system that every one now claim to be
interested in,this is what I and millions in this great country think that is compassonate.All people like you
do is not looking at any facts before you talk. Don’t you want to see in your
life time to see a woman as the president of this country? Look at Germany,Britain,Isreal and India at different times. All have to do is to give her a chance. You will never know
untill you try. We are all come from a
mother and from her being one who knows
if this what we need now. So let us stop
dragging into another people’s stuff.
ANDREA TAYLOR SO JOIN ALL THE PROGRESIVE
PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY AND I AND WISH HER
A HAPPY 60th BIRTH DAY.
Happy birth day to you and many,many,
more.May God bless you and your family
very much.

Say what you will, Gore did win the election in 2000 – it all hinged on Florida and Bush’s brother Jeb was the govener! Sounds like a coup de etat to me! At least Gore has moved on to doing something constructive, while Bush has moved on to do everything destructive! Wake up guys, even the polar bears are drowning! Gore won’t be VP again – maybe Secretary of State?
Can we at least stop calling Barack Obama – Osama?
This is just plain rude! Barack has stated that he is a Christian, he is certainly well educated and after reading his speeches I am very impressed. I have never been impressed with Hilary. Look in Bush’s closet and you will find the savings & loan scandal – look in Hilary’s and out rolls Vince Foster and Whitewater. Hmmm
Could we just start fresh? Thirty years of the Bush’s and Clinton’s in Washington is more than enough for me!

dk, according to all the Godless evolutionist types we are all related too, no? In fact they are also related to maggots and dung beetles, true? And lets not forget cousin careless weed.

UGOCHUKWO, voting for Hillary just because she is alegedly femail is unwise. She is completely unqualified for the job. If you must have a woman in office why dont you just vote for Edwards, at least johnny has demonstrated success in private life as an ambulance chaser .

@ whatthe:
You are forgetting that if we elect a woman president, we can pay her a lot less.

Hillary was incharge of a department in the white house and the republicans complained.Hillary did publish ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’
Hillary is a senator, just like her REPUBLICAN FATHER was a senator. Yes that’s right, just you YUPPIE REPUBLICAN LARVAS, she too grew up republican.
She has a lot more to her own accomplishments, but all Republicans can think of is that she is married to Bill. And the only mistake he made was getting caught with his pants down, while his republican rivals KNEW JUST HOW TO HIDE IT, and also KNEW JUST HOW TO COVER IT UP.

This should be extremely interesting!
In this New York Times article, Barack Obama says that Hillary is not being truthful about her positions and vows to directly engage her regarding their differences on the issues and who is best suited to lead the country.
I like what he said about Hillary being a great brand name for the primaries, but being unable to attract Independents and Republicans to vote for her, which would lead to failure for the Dems like in 2000 and 2004.

angelheart…do tell us what ‘department’ hillary was in charge of. While your at it, enlighten us about all her great acomplishments, because I know of none. I dont even know of antthing she has worked for as a Senator capable of introducing legislation, if she cares so much about all these issues, what the hell has she done about them? Her qulification is she was married to a President, were she not, she would not be a candidate, period.

Well, there goes Obama’s campaign. If the Cheney syndrome is hereditary, when does the paranoid, delusional dimentia kick in? My prays go out to the “immediate” Obama family.

I just saw something even better on the news. Not only are Chenney and Obama cousins, but they are both directly related to G W Bush. Other famous people related to Bush include: John Kerry, Marilyn Monroe, Brad Pitt, Princess Diana, and the well known Pocahontas, just to name a few. I did hear someone mention Madonna too.

Cheney: Yup, Obama’s My Cousin
I remember a story about the fox who wanted the grapes. He could not reach the wine so he said in dismay, “the grapes are sour anyway”. when he is out to find any one , I always look at the politician who is in race hoping that few word I say will help deeds in past and help me in future.
I thank you

Read machiavelli’s “the prince” this has been done before. No coments no emotions, just read.
For once in your lives imagine what an evil genius would do, and why its important for people to pay attention in the heart of their lives.
