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.

GENEALOGY n. The tracing of descent from ancestors; alternatively, a particular account of such tracing for a specific individual or family. In the English-speaking world, all those who take up this pursuit announce sooner or later that they can trace their descent back to Edward III. This should surprise no one with a rudimentary knowledge of mathematics; there are probably one or two well-bred basset hounds who could also trace their descent back to Edward III. What is really surprising is that Edward III seems to be regarded as some kind of ultimate antecedent beyond whom the genealogist does not venture, even though anyone descended from Edward III is also descended from his father Edward II, and so on. The author can guess only that the prudery of the late Victorian age (when genealogy became a family pastime) chose to draw a veil before the memory of Edward II in view of the sybaritic Plantagenets bisexual reputation and appalling death (see impalement).

...he found links between the Democratic senator from Illinois and Presidents George Washington, James Madison, Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter?
Anybody related to Jimmy should be ineligible to run for federal office.
Seems perfectly clear to me.
/sarcasm
I saw that dude on Star Trek!
LLS
I immediately noticed the resemblance to Jimmy Carter.
I was waiting for the Onion link, but it's not there.
sigh.
I'm pretty sure he was born in a manger due to virgin birth and under a bright star too. The lib media wants to crown this idiot a king.
The Jimmy Carter connection, I can believe.
Same goofy grin and big ears. ;-)
