And In Other News ...
President Barack Obama is apparently a direct descendant of John Punch, "the first documented African enslaved for life in American history."
"How can this be," you ask? "His father was Kenyan, not an African-American with 400 years of family history in this country."
And you're right. He's related through his mother!
This really is quite a country.
