A bad apple in the tree

Guess who's the black sheep in this family
“ PROVO, Utah, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- The family tree for U.S. President Obama shows he's related -- distantly -- to two of his harshest critics, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh, Ancestry.com said.

Obama and Palin -- the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008 -- are 10th cousins, related by a common ancestor named John Smith, the family history resource based in Provo, Utah, said on its Web site Wednesday.

Today, Sen. Kerry was assaulted by The Ambassador from Mongolia for mispronouncing the Ambassador name in both Mongolian and English. The Amgassador was heard to yell, "It is Genghis Kahn you idiot!"
Apparently the Ambassador is a direct descendent of the famous Mongolian Leader.

Makes me wonder if there is a hidden meaning or agenda for printing stories like this. Are these stories only printed at times when the liberal media need to boost the dems? Is this a way to remind people that, underneath it all we're all related? And if we're all related, then why go-lly, we should all just get along. 10th cousins is pretty remote. I think I once read somewhere that DNA testing can link anyone, even the most remote uncommon people imaginable, as 15th cousins. That the human race doesn't extend beyond a 15th cousin tie. drummermanrick
