Politics and ehem, good looks, is really in Barack Obama’s gene pool.
Genealogist Christopher Child has found that Obama has a prolific presidential lineage that features Democrats and Republicans. His distant cousins include President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. Other Obama cousins include Vice President Dick Cheney, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee.
In this MSNBC article, he also found out that Barack Obama and Brad Pitt are cousins! And that Hilary Clinton is related to Angelina Jolie, and Camila Parker-Bowles. Interesting huh? Read the full article here.
