Why???

What was the motive in releasing information that Cheney was a cousin to Presidential Candidate Barack Obama?

Cousins usually mean that we have the same grandparents somewhere on our family tree. But, the Article stated that Mrs.Cheney made the discovery while she was doing some family research for her husband. PLEASE!

Logically this is what really happened.

.They were digging trying to find some dirty genes to sabotage the Obama campaign

.But all they could come up with was a grandfather who they referred to as a common ancestor of the two men to be a 17th century immigrant from France. LOL

So, they held on to it, trying decide OMG, what should we do?

I guess they figured, this is dirty as it gets, what black would vote for anybody related to Dick Cheney,

But, guess what? Most of us are related to some white person who was our grandparent…..and?

Why claim kindred now?

It was said that Mrs. Cheney referred to this as amazing. Read the story. Although Osama's heritage is somewhat different from the masses of blacks in America, I am amazed that she would be amazed.

Isn't it amazing, that Our great grandfathers crept into the huts at night to breed our great-grandmothers?

Isn't it amazing that they allowed their children to be counted among the cattle, whipped, and beaten?

Isn't it amazing that they allowed their blood to live and die in poverty as if their blood wasn't in our veins?

Isn't it amazing that one road could lead to wealth for generation after generation, while the other road would lead to struggle, heartache, pain and poverty generation after generation?

Isn't it amazing that they would want to claim kindred now? Hmm, yes amazing indeed.
