Dick Cheney Is Related To Barack Obama

They're eighth cousins, apparently.

That's just wrong. If someone told me I was eighth cousins with the heart of darkness, I'd need a shower.

And why does Cheney know such a thing?

I hate to pop Mrs. Cheney's bubble but it is pretty well documented that Richard Bruce Cheney descends from William Cheney and Margaret of Roxbury, MA. I can't find any connection between the Cheney's in Maryland and William Cheney's family of Roxbury.

Whoever did her research for her led her astray

Dick Cheney's line is

William Cheney and Margaret
Thomas Cheney and Jane Adkinson
Benjamin Cheney and Mary Harbert
Joseph Cheney and Elizabeth Tucker
William Cheney and Elizabeth Swett
Ebenezer Cheney and Hannah Eaton
Elias Eaton Cheney and Lucy Fletcher
Sameul Fletcher Cheney and Ellen Phillips
Thomas Herbert Cheney and Margaret Tyler
Robert Herbert Cheney and Marjorie Dickey
Richard (Dick) Bruce Cheney the US Vice President.

Could it be wrong just because senator Barack Obama is Black?
