KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP) - A Big Island genealogist has discovered presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama has some ancestral ties to the White House and colonial Virginia. Bruce Harrison, founder of the Waikoloa-based Family Forest Project, says he found links between the Democratic senator from Illinois and Presidents George Washington, James Madison, Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter.

Could be, but even if he descended from Joseph and Mary, he's still a lousy choice for President.

Good point

And free votes for Hillary too

I'd venture a good number are sleepers

Then there are those that enjoy losing

Elections are like wars

Second place will not win a Silver Medal

We could dig George up for a sample of his DNA, assuming Obama is willing to donate a sample of his.

Carter appears to be pretty much alive below the neck. Maybe we could convince Obama and Jimmie to donate their DNA.

There's a lot of Little League chatter from the bench, "Hey, he can't hit!"

Leave It To Beaver to the contrary notwithstanding, this is the time you root for your candidate, not tear down those vying to be your party's candidate in a hairpulling, purseswinging hissy fit.

Unless your candidate is Hillary, in which case you put a couple of bricks in your purse.

Must enter to play, must be present to win, must win to govern.

Two-percenters even ten-percenters won't keep the terrorists out of CONUS.

Why would someone waste their breath on all this prepubescent "swing batter" catcalling, spit in the soup so to speak, unless they want Team Alinsky to take the Series?

No gulag for me thanks.

Always remember, George's family arrived in a wild and wooly America where nearly all the men were tatooed from head to toe, and guys who went about unarmed were shortly dead. Polite gentlemen from London were loathe to leave the boat.

I don't think that's true either, and as far as I know, tattoos didn't become a real feature of Western life until the British Navy visited Polynesia and took back some of the native customs with them.

American Indians were heavily tatooed ~ even then.

Remember this guy?

 

A lesson ~ the world didn't begin with the British.

I'm not at all opposed to a "full flensing". Sometimes it takes an awful lot of DNA to figure things out you know.

;-) Depending of course upon whether 55 gallons of DNA is recovered from a million sheets off the beds of teen age boys at a boarding school or from the private parts of one :)erotic dancer.
