Obama’s Cousin in Kansas GOP Primary
Valley News ^ | August 4, 2014 | By Zachary A. Goldfarb

Posted on 08/05/2014 7:36:45 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Eureka, Kansas — Orella Hosack, wearing a Choose Life shirt and sitting at the edge of the room at the Copper Kettle restaurant, liked what she was hearing from a Tea Party candidate challenging the state’s longtime GOP senator.

But she had also heard a potentially alarming rumor — that Milton Wolf, the radiologist trying to unseat Sen. Pat Roberts in Tuesday’s primary, is related to President Obama — and she wanted him to address it.

“If you’ve been paying attention to the campaign, you know there are a lot of vicious personal attacks,” Wolf replied. “I think you deserve to know that one of the things that Pat Roberts says about me is true. Barack Obama and I are actually cousins.”

“First cousins?” someone in the audience shouted with a tone of disbelief.

“Second cousins,” Wolf replied. “Can you believe that? The next Ted Cruz is Barack Obama’s unapologetic conservative cousin.”

There are no family reunions. O’bola has no use for anyone, family or otherwise, that is not himself.

Yep I wonder about his family ties sometimes.

He has spoken of how close he was to his grandmother, how grateful he was to her, etc. at some times.

But then we found out that his wife and daughters had never met his grandmother. He never took them to visit. The grandmother never visited them. So just how close to his family is he really????

The mother of Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne was the sister of Wolfe's maternal grandfather...

Madelyn and Wolfe's mother were first cousins...

Wolfe is fourth cousins with Obama..

Coming from you, with your posting history, and proclivity for supporting Moderates, that statement is an absolute Conservative Endorsement for Wolf!

“wolf is a fake and a moron.”

Glad to know the GOPE is alive and well in Kansas (and here on FR). I hope Wolf wins in a landslide!! Why don’t you tell us all how you were the Kansas State GOPE Treasurer or whatever you used to be! The Republican Party might experience a rebirth if it weren’t for people like you.

Looks to me like they are second cousins, once removed.

You are correct about the proper relationship between them (I’ve been doing my own family tree for 20 years).

Thankfully, I have no relationship whatsoever to Obama, the Clintons, Carter or the Kennedys - at least going back about 200 years.

"The next Ted Cruz is Barack Obama’s unapologetic conservative cousin."

A tad optimistic, on several counts.

A bit harsh perhaps. But even with all his faults, and Roberts does have his faults, Wolf has never been able to convince people how he would make a better senator than Roberts is.
