The White House expects LDS Church President Thomas Monson to present President Barack Obama with a detailed report on his genealogical history when the two leaders sit down for a quick meeting today,

Mormons are the most Republican religious group in the United States, per most surveys.
and baptismal certificates.
And we know those surveys are totally accurate..............
It says in the Book of Mormon that if you shoot a beaver you have to eat it. Is that true?
Traced back to Idi Amin.
If only Catholics voted like Mormons, than the northeast and upper midwest would be GOP territory.
WTF is up with all the Mormon-bashing by the Fundies anyway? I'm an agnostic, and don't have much of a positive opinion of organized religion as it stands, btw.
I’m ROFLing just at the title of the thread.
I thought Mormonism had it’s roots in the Americas.
The database which the church maintains is fascinating, to say the least, but only as accurate as the records which support it.
It would be interesting to know how many slave traders are in his African background.
Some of ObaMao's roots can be found on-line at http://www.wargs.com and, interestingly enough, I share the same common ancestor which he shares with Dick Cheney.
You mean this isn’t from The Onion?!? I’m sure 0bama will bury the results like everything else in this catagory!
and how can the LDS trace Kenyan birth records? I really doubt they have much record keeping over there....
Oh, to be a fly on the wall at that meeting.........
I can tell by your chose of "words"....you an agnostic.
BTW, tell me...with your insight...just how did you come to the conclusion my post was bashing mormons?
None of Mr. Obama's ancestors lived under slavery in North America. The first of Mr. Obama's paternal ancestors to leave Kenya was Mr. Obama's own father, who left in the mid-20th century, about 100 years after slavery had been abolished in the United States.
Several of Mr. Obama's maternal ancestors owned slaves. Mr. Obama's slave-owning ancestors include George Washington Overall (number 110, above, husband of Mrs. Louisiana Duvall Overall and father-in-law of the Christopher Columbus Clark mentioned above) and Mrs. Mary Grable Duvall (number 223, above, mother of Mrs. Louisiana Duvall Overall and grandmother-in-law of Christopher Columbus Clark), both of whom are enumerated in the 1850 Federal Census as slave owners. George Washington Overall is also enumerated in the 1860 Federal Census as a slave owner. Other slave-owning ancestors of Mr. Obama include John P. Childress (or Childers, number 212, above), who was enumerated in the 1860 Federal Census as a slave owner. See the Extracts from the Federal Censuses, above, for details. See also Note 224, above.
From what I have been able to collaborate elsewhere, the research on this site is really quite good and, as far as I can see, the authors have no political axe to grind or agenda to promote.
If only.
You seem to be bashing the Mormons too unless you don't consider Mormonism an organized religion. Moral relativism is flawed.
I don’t think any meeting about Obama’s genealogy could be “quick”.
“And President Obama will ALSO show his family roots by...explaining he was born In Kenya”
That could explain why they are helping with Obama’s genealogy. They are doing it for the challenge.
Don't ask. I asked the same thing and went to their defense (although I am a non-Mormon lawyer) and ended up getting permanently banned from the Religion Forum: then, when I, without looking, accidentally dared to reply to a ping (which happened to be from a religous thread, got suspended from FR for over a week and threatened with permanent suspension entirely from FR if I dared post to the Religous forum again. So, ever since then I have been somewhat wary of posting to the Mormon-hating bigots here -- or getting into discussions about that great religion.
