Cousin News Could Be Obama’s Kiss of Death
October 17th, 2007No good news with these relations.
Posted Oct. 17, 2007 – I have a theory about Lynne Cheney’s recent revelation that her vice president husband, Dick, and Sen. Barack Obama are distant cousins: The
Cheneys are starving for a headline. I also haven’t ruled out the notion of political sabotage.
Just last week, Sen. Fred Thompson announced that Cheney’s daughter was joining his campaign for the White House, but the Tennessee Republican’s big news barely registered a blip on the political radar screen.
Yesterday, Lynne Cheney announced the astonishing “Obama connection.” What impeccable timing. And what an incredible political strategy. Having Black lineage – fairly recent African roots, no less – certainly doesn’t earn you “Brownee” points in the Grand Old Party, but it can’t hurt Dick or Lynne’s political aspirations, since it’s clear they aren’t running for anything.
But it sure can’t help Obama’s either. Remember, the Illinois Democrat already has folks asking if he’s Black enough – because of his mixed heritage and toned-down message on issues of race. While his father was born in Nyanza Province, Kenya, his mother, Ann Dunham, is a White woman from Wichita, Kan.; his parents met at the University of Hawaii and got married. For many Blacks, all you need is a couple drops of Cheney’s blood to automatically qualify you as a Caucasian. And shrewd politicos like the Cheneys certainly know that.
Lynne Cheney, who described the connection as “amazing,” said she “discovered” the family tie while working on her new book. Her research led her to two French men who came to America from France in the 17th century.
You can bet that no family reunion is being planned at the Obama camp. When notified of the purported relationship, Obama spokesman Bill Burton said, “Every family has a black sheep.”
When asked if she would change her presidential pick, she quipped, “I should list it as evidence than I’m not a Clinton supporter.”
For some, the connection might seem “amazing.” I find it suspect.

This is no surprise. With all the $*$? of black women in the past,anything is possible.
I knew they would find some way to keep a black man from getting into the white house, if obama had not been runnin for president the cheneys would never had revealed a black man shared their bloodline
I agree with both comments. I also think the republicans are pushing to get Sen. Clinton on the ballot because they think she will lose and the republicans will be back in power. I just try not to get too angry and I like the comment from Sen. Obama’s campaign, there’s always a blacksheep in every family.
one word……HUMAN…
so we are capable of anything….so whats the big deal again?
Obama isnt exactly dark chocolate and cheney has a bit of a tan so eeehh…Live long and prosper

well is it ture? And is Duane Martin really gay?
Who honestly cares, if he is black enough is not even a question that I am weighing in my decision and the Cheneys definitely can’t hold water in a kettle as far as I am concerned ..the question really is IS HE THE MAN FOR THE JOB..or will he be the leader this country needs and not be the fall guy the got with POWELL
Obama need to be weary especially if Cheney ask him to go “hunting”.
Does this smell of Illuminati? Could it be that all of them are linked together for the purposes of achieving The New World Order? I don’t trust any politician be they black or white. They are all cut from the same cloth. If they aren’t, once incorporated into the DC arena, they soon will be. The government in DC is the gutter of humanity wrapped in dishonesty, secrecy, demonic actions, theft, and murder on all levels. Anyone desperately trying to infiltrate that group is aligned with them, or hope to lead them. I have no respect for any of them. When voting, it is a matter of choosing which dog takes the most lethal bite out of us, our pockets, and/or our security in the world.
I’M,STILL VOTING FOR OBAMA…..NONE OF A MAKES ANY DIFFRENCE TO ME.
Bull. Why did it come at such a critical moment?
Who-the-hell-cares??? Obviously society is not aware of the percentage of people who has white people in their family history. This is the most redundant thing I’ve heard in a minute. That is OUR history. We got all kinds of stuff tied in to who WE are today. I honestly can’t believe that we are making this an issue. Once again, white people have cast their line and Black people has taken the bait.
Who cares first i’m not voting 4 a black candidate, i’m voting 4 the best candidate and if that is Obama why should i care about this
Scar… I couldn’t have said it better. I agree!
What is the big deal, they are related through Obama mother’s bloodline-she is white- this is not a master raping the slave or anything like that- Chenney people let the info out bcuz it could hurt Obama- I really don’t see how it could hurt Does it make obama more white? ( whatever that means)- it doesn’t hurt chenney because it doesn’t make him black, it’s not like they are related through his father bloodline - now that would be interesting
Tiger Woods went though the same thing so what BAH BAH which mean to me is OBAMA
This why America is still stuck on stupidity. I don’t care what complexion you are everybody is mixed with something (check your roots). Wake up America & start thinking for yourself.
Is there any PURE race in this country? Everybody probably has some of somebody else in them. And during slavery, Black women were raped had children and so what else is new?
Thomas Jefferson fathered children with a Black woman, so…
What’s the point? It doesn’t change Obama’s status as a Presidential candidate nor as the President of the United States.
well it does’nt matter one way or the other I like & support Obama for President. I voted for him for Senator of Illinois. Hes still a great leader we need him to lead us. Look at Oprah, she’s a cousin of Elvis……Terry from Arkansas
I wonder why our Black people jump at the same old trick. We all know that 90% of the people in America are mixed. What we need to be concerned about is whether Oboma is really and truly American, in his ideals, heart and soul. Does he have a loyalty to his Nyanza Province Muslim heritage or his Wichita, Kansas heritage. Ask where he was educated. What is his religious persuasion. Does he understand the foundation of this country, and how many black lives were sacreficed for all others to come here in persuit of “The American Dream” only to have them try to edge us out and change it to benefit them. These are the issues we need to address. What will America benefit if he is elected? Trust me it doesn’t matter whether he is mixed racialy but where his heart and soul and allegiance are.
“For many Blacks, all you need is a couple drops of Cheney’s blood to automatically qualify you as a Caucasian.–> That statement is twisted. I thought is was the other way around. During slavery and afterwards, you could be as light a Cheney. But if it came out that you had a drop of black, you got treated like the rest (with disrespect). But, anyway…when will people stop being so ignorant & stop putting race & ethnicity before a person’s personality and spirit? We were all created and are love by God. I like Obama for what he stands for. If he was blue, he would still have my vote.
Obama will have my vote no matter what. I do find it entertaining that the Cheney’s want to divuldge this information. I guess people find all kinds of ways to ’sabatoge’ a campaign.
BEAUITYFULL,……. NOW THAT THE CHENEY’S HAVE A LITTLE COCO SYRUP IN THERE WHITE MILK, AND THAT THEY ARE ALSO ATTACTED TO POWERFUL FAMILY, WOW!!! GOOD FOR THEM, NOW MAYBE THEY CAN LEARN FROM THERE COUSIN ON HOW YOU SHOULD RESPECT AND HANDLE CERTION SITUATIONS DEALING WITH PEPLOE OF COLOR, HOW CAN THE OBAMA FAMILY BE SO LUCKY……….GO OBAMA,GOOOOOO.
Jesse Lee Peterson says Blacks are suffering not because of racism but because Blacks are immoral. This guy has a radio show at http://www.bondinfo.org
Abrahim,
I thought you were calling me back. I see that you are doing the same things as before. Telling me things and not coming through. I don’t want to do business like this. What you tell me is what i go by I have shoes and i will tell you to transact the business with me and i will send you an invoice on there product that you want to acquire from me. Please call me. I waited on your call last nite.
He won’t win! I hate to say it brotha’s and sista’s but my man won’t win. Why, you and I know both that he will not secure the entire black vote. There will be a big turn out for him, and he will get some good numbers, ut he won’t win. Now before you say I am a hater, here is why I think so. Back when our fore-fathers/mothers were fighting for equal rights and treatment of our people, we also looked to one of our own. Someone who has had to live the life as we have. Some one who knows the feelings that we do. Someone who has had the dame fight was we all do. Brotha Obama has not had the life of the average black man nor his struggles. Therefore can not understan the needs of the black community. True he has done some great things for our community and will continue I am sure. But does he relate to what our needs are? Does he see the pain and suffereing we have everyday? I would love for a black man or women to be president, but I want someone who can identify me and what my people need. In my eyes, the brotha is saying and doing as his politically correct job. He is saying the right things and appealing to the American White Female Community, but does he respond to the needs of the black community? What does he say about low income education, medical, dental, and minority job.business opportunities? Does he address how he is going to stop racial crime in our schools and communities? I would like to vote for the best candidate for the job. Hell I wish there was a Chinese American running for that matter, we all need a change and a topical change is not going to do it. I have heard some of Brotha Obmam’s speeches and it all sounds the same. What the American Black man needs and wants is a brotha who has travelled the same roads and will look out for our community. this is why we cherish our leaders like MLK, Malcom X Marcus Garver and Rev. Jesse Jackson (I vote for him by the way in “88″).
It is really funny that we are blind to see the truth. So no matter what we are not going to see the truth. So if you say you do not care your stupid.
What ever happen to or thoughts like when mlk march for are rights to have a place in voice of this country. I will like some one to make that stand once again but I think we are all afriad of the goverment. Because we have no power at all. Not just one race all race I do believe we all can make that change. I am native american I am standing here and make this statment for ever one. Because just like MLK I do have a dream that we all need to stand for it agian. If you have any Question Please E-mail at lrry_bookout@yahoo.com. So lets make MLK dream come back to life. In make that stand together. This plan is for or next generation to come. Because the way the goverment is going we are going to have alot of people not liking the USA.
I agree with Lady W. Obama, do NOT EVER GO HUNTING WITH CHENEY! YOU WILL END UP ON A MANTLE OVER HIS FIREPLACE! (HA-HA) By the way! I am sure Obama id devastated to learn this unfortunate piece of news. Finding out you have the blood of an inferior, savage race like the paleface race, shouls make one want to go and hide under a rock. I mean, look at the evil paleface history. Not exactly a heritage to be proud of! Funny that Cheney’s wife would “find this out” as she claim, at this particular point. Looks like the palefaces are up to their same ol’ tricks. One they know better than anything, POLITICAL SABOTAGE!
I am a firm beleiver that any human who is for all peoples rights can become president. Do not let stupid facts sway your vote. Vote for the person you feel has your best interest at heart. Race can never play a part because that would mean automatic defeat for any person of color. We do not have the numbers so we must just get out and do our best to help.
I wish we would just come back down to earth and vote for the best. thats Obama just in case you did not know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The strength that Obama has, is the lack of experience to the the corruption in the US politics. Whereas, white america believes it is a problem for Obama due to lack of experience in foriegn affairs, I say it is a step in the right direction to be able to negotiate and have a firm dialog with a non-partisan idealist.
PLEASE OBAMA DON’T GIVE TWO BEANS ABOUT RACIST A** CHENEY. OBAMA HAS PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE IN POLITICS. ANYBODY CAN DO BETTER THAN BUSH SO PLEASE STOP BLOCKING. HILARY IS A FLIP FLOPPING MESS. FIRST SHE WAS FOR THE WAR, NOW SHE’S IN THE LIME LIGHT SHE’S AGAINST IT.I HAD ENOUGH WITH WHITE PEOPLE AND THERE TWO FACED WAYS. BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO BE COURAGEOUS AND VOTE FOR OBAMA AND STOP BEING A HOUSE NIG***!!!!!!!
