“Wouldn’t it suffice to prove that his *real* mother is that a-—ess walking around in L-——.”

The female DNA is passed from female to female. Therefore the Obama daughters would have Michelle’s DNA, and her mother’s DNA and so on. The father’s mother’s DNA would not show.

The only way to prove or disprove Obama’s parentage with DNA is to have the male DNA (Y DNA) of Obama to match with DNA from his alleged father, brothers of the father, or sons of the father. The only way to prove female parentage would be to compare Obama’s mitochondrial (mtDNA) with his mother’s DNA, her mother’s DNA or one of his mother’s sister’s DNA (if his mother was Stanley Ann Dunham, there are no known sisters).

The problem of course is getting the samples since his mother and maternal grandmother are dead and cremated. There are alleged half brothers of Barack Obama. Their Y-DNA, matched to his Y-DNA would prove whether or not they had the same father.

DNA research is not as easy as television shows purport. That is why the media and Hollywood assertion DNA proved Thomas Jefferson had an affair with the slave Sally Hemmings is false. Thomas Jefferson had no known male heirs so there is no conclusive direct line Y-DNA in a Jefferson descendant to compare to anyone. They took Y-DNA from a documented direct line male descendant of one of Thomas Jefferson’s uncles, who would have carried the Y-DNA from Thomas Jefferson’s male grandfather. This DNA was compared to African American direct line male descendants of Sally Hemmings. There were matches but not all of the male African American’s matched the Y-DNA carried by descendants of Thomas Jefferson’s uncle.

However, all the Jefferson DNA testing proved was some of the Sally Hemmings male descendants carried DNA of a Jefferson in Thomas Jefferson’s grandfather’s line. In reality, there were 50 male Jeffersons around, or passing through, Monticello who could have fathered the Sally Hemmings male children carrying Jefferson DNA. The DNA evidence that Thomas Jefferson actually fathered children with Sally Hemmings is far less conclusive than the DNA evidence presented in the OJ Simpson/Nicole Brown Simpson murder trial.

The only way to conclusively prove Thomas Jefferson fathered the Hemmings males is to dig up the body and try to extract enough DNA from the bones for comparison. Otherwise he is one of 50 “suspects”.

Obtaining Obama’s DNA, and the DNA of his alleged parents, could be more difficult than obtaining Thomas Jefferson’s actual DNA. In Jefferson’s case, the location of the grave is know, all one needs is the permission of the family or a court order to open the grave and take a sample.
