THE DAILY BLADE: Obama’s Kin Disown Him (Politically)

Ancestry.com found 28 living relatives of President Barack Hussein Obama who share a common Irish ancestor on his mother’s side of the family. Now, most of us would be mighty proud that one of our kin made it all the way to the White House. But The Associated Press apparently could not find a blood relation who voted for Obama.

The father’s side is a little more complicated.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I know the family, the O’Bamas. Good Irish stock, they be.

[decisis]

So his white relatives didn’t vote for him? Not surprising. Remember some years ago when it was in style for black people to say they had white ancestors, that they were Irish, German, English, etc? I wonder how true some of that was. Of course in Obama’s case, he does have white ancestry but apparently they can’t stand him, always a black sheep in every family.

Doesn’t he have an aunt on his father’s side who was living illegally in Boston? Maybe she voted for him.

[theothercheek]

Yes, but apparently none of the Irish relatives on his mother’s side of the family voted for him - at least none that AP was able to find and interview. Not surprising, since he only seems to acknowledge his father’s side of the family - even though his mother’s parents fed, clothed, housed and educated him. I guess no one likes an ingrate.

Alex Haley had some Irish ancestors—he even went to Ireland trying to track down information on them.

I heard his white granpappy or something liberated Auschwitz or something...

How do we know that Obama's even Irish? Is it because of this stupid video? Considering the lengths B. Hussein has gone to conceal his birth certificate from the public, he probably had cronies alter the ancestry.co.uk genealogy lines in order to make it appear as though he were an American citizen. I am also suspicious of the fact that all 28 of his 'relatives' were Republican voters; did he really think he could fool hardworking Republicans into voting for him if they thought he was their relative? (Considering that Hussein was incompetent enough to add $1.4 trillion to the national debt, however, it doesn't surprise me that he'd pull a boneheaded move like this in a desperate attempt to woo voters.)

It's completely true. Trust me, you can't find a black American whose roots go back to slavery, who doesn't have some white ancestry.

American blacks are a long, long way from being pure blood negroid.

This is rich!

[celtic gal]

I think her name is Zatoooonnnniiiii.

[celtic gal]

Not only that but recently his mentioned in a speech that his father was in WW II..not possbile.

[TigersEye]

No commies on mommy’s side?

[Georgia Girl 2]

LOL! LOL! I’m lovin it. The O’bamas. Thats rich.

[pandoraou812]

Mommy was a wackadoodle too IMHO. I wouldn’t admit to being related to any of them if I was. In fact I would deny , deny & deny it.

[TigersEye]

I meant living commies but you have a point. His wackadoodle mother and her commie parents are probably still voting in Honolulu. And Chicago.

[pandoraou812]

I agree.
