Hmm....but how many people are really looking for the LDS Church 5 volume geneology on craigs' list?
So Mr President, as you can see, we've proved that there really are only six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon..
President Obama tweets: ahhh kicking it old school this time, in the war room w/ religious leaders...lol
See ... even in the most esteme families there are uncles we don't mention in mixed company...
Obama steadies himself when it is pointed out that he is related to the Palin's of Alaska but then wakes up in a cold sweat and shuts off the alarm.
Obama: "By the end of my first term, Bo will become the first dog to step on Mars"
I know this is a little hard to follow, but it's no health care bill!
...and that explains the weird aunt.
See up there.. we traced "MY" forefathers to waaay back there ,,,before yoouuurrs....na na na na na nahhhh,,,
Hey! Whose family does that Martian come from?
And here you can see that you and I are actually related! ...Can I have a loan?
"Thomas move over there if the glare is bothering you!"

Obama (excitedly): I knew it...I knew it all along...see...there is nothing in Bill Clinton's genealogy that certifies him as Black American. So how could he be our first Black President? I am closer to being Black than he is.
Over there, over there, we fight to destroy civil rights over there.

President Obama meets with hate mongurs and jesus fanatics! Its makes ni sense to me why he would entertain such a hateful church as the evil mormons. Has he no idea what a slap in the face to Gay People this is?
"See? I told you that we had documentation to prove that McCain is older than Sin."
"and here you can see where the laying of hands is a viable Heath Care option."
Hmmm! Should I tell him his fly is open? Naw!
the president- "nahh mines bigger"
LDS leaders prepare their hate filled battle of civil rights violations across the nation with the help of President Obama and Harry Reid.

If you look here Mr. President you will see that you are a direct descendant of Mr. Spock.
After an in-depth review of the CNN work roster President Obama agrees that Anderson really should have given Erica Hill the day off for her Birthday.
According to this, Sarah Palin is your second cousin.
Hey Mr. President... Look at his butt! It is sooooo BIG!

Obama: Son-of-a-gun...Michelle is a descendant of African slaves...and so are you, Harry.
'
...so you can see he is your cousin 3 times removed; and I am your uncle 5 times removed
Okay guys, lets wrap this up now, so we can get it on ebay asap!
See, Mr. President? You are in fact a direct descendant of Jesus.
Devin, Stanford, Calif.
Look! You're even linked to Kevin Bacon in less than six degrees!
"And yes, Mr. President, this proves that you ARE a legal, natural-born citizen of the United State!"
"Look over there – that's Dick Cheney's family tree..see, down there by that bush."
I'm related to everyone starting at that corner over there.
President Obama hears with astonishment that now everybody wants to claim that they also had some distant relative in Africa!
Obama (dumbfounded): Are you guys sure about that? My daddy was sold to a Hawaiian plantation owner in 1960?
"There you are...3rd branch up on the right. Hmm..you are a citizen after all."
"You see that gentleman right there Mr. President, his name is Joshua DuBois, we brought him so you wouldn't feel uncomfortable and so you wouldn't think we were up to something."
We thought that it would make quite an impression to know that everybody's ancestors came from Africa and that we are all related.
"And that's not all, Mr. President. We can also do five generation pedigree on Bo."
Yes, I agree... Joshua DuBois DOES have a nice ass!

President Obama and other VIP's from Washington read all the comments on the enormous White House Birthday card for Erica Hill.
So you can see Mr. President, even Rush Limbaugh and you are distant cousins
See, that's where you went wrong with your NCAA brackets!
" As you can see by these life size X-Rays, the Pope is in pretty good shape despite the broken wrist which you can clearly marked over there"
Dallin: And if you look in over there you'll see that your great great granddaddy was
Obama: Jesus!!
I’m afraid I’m really not the person to ask about this matter.
Any thoughts on what we should do next?
Could you give us some guidance as to what our course of action should be?
I'm related to Anderson Cooper?!
Obama thinks...'What happened to separation of Church and State?'.
Hey guys.... let's get people working and build a new and bigger White House.
