This is so low it's ridiculous! People don't even take this serious! It's yellow journalism at its finest. This type of reporting belongs in Star or World News Daily; tabloid fodder. I'm not even an Obama fan but this is just plain silly! Amerikan news reporting is lost to corporate interests. No one wants to even listen to the news anymore. Sounds a lot like the Ministry of Truth more than anything else. Communist Network News will do ANYTHING to defile someone. This is so low it's ridiculous! People don't even take this serious!

This means that Mr. Mareen Duvall(Samuel's father) and Richard Cheney(Elizabeth's grandfather) are both ancesters of both politicians. That Dick Cheney had African ancestry would be interesting, but unfortunately, this is not the case. (atleast back to the V.P./Senator's common ancester) That Sen. Obama has European ancestry(through his mother) is already given. All that this info shows is that they both have common European ancestry. By the way, Obama's Ancestry is not sullied simply because it is connected to a branch that would much later lead to Cheney. Too many comments on this thread seem to betray a severe misunderstanding of geneology. One last thing, why, as some have implied, would Mrs. Cheney lie about this? Why would she mean this as some sort of insult. How is it an insult to connect oneself with another through ancestry? This implies that Mrs. Cheney sees herself as unfortunate to be linked with.
