Obama and Bush are Cousins!
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF Hell froze over. A month of Sundays hit the calendar. Barack Obama and George W. Bush are cousins.
According to Factcheck.org, Obama and Bush are 11th cousins, both descended from Samuel Hinckley, who lived in Massachusetts in the 17th century.
Meanwhile, Obama is also related even more closely to Dick Cheney. They are eighth cousins, both descended from a French Huguenot named Mareen Duvall who settled in Maryland in the 17th century.
No word on whether the Obamas are going to be invited to the Bush family reunions each summer in Maine.
Im tired of hearing this , yea and me and you are cousins too.
Its the Adam and Eve effect. you go back far enough and we all have a relative in some tribe in the beginning of the world.
