Published Date: 08 October 2008
BARACK Obama and Dick Cheney are not the only political odd couple who share a family tree.
Sarah Palin is linked in her lineage to former US President Franklin D Roosevelt and also has a connection with Diana, Princess of Wales.

Mr Roosevelt, the Depression-era Democratic president, is a distant cousin of Mrs Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, who is also a tenth cousin of the former royal.

"breeding will out"

At last something you and I agree upon. The breeding is certainly out of Sarah Palin.

It is amazing that someone so arrogant as Sarah Palin can be somehow related to such a great man named Franklin Deleano Roosevelt the last great President America has ever seen. Sarah Palin is full of herself with this portrayal of a Hockey Mom character she should stay home and bake cookies she is no leader and the media and the Republican party need to stop boosting her this woman has no clue whatsoever about what is going on in the world or at home she has been schooled the last 2 months on what to say and how to say it and still she is stupid and can't play the part she does not deserve to be running for Vice President of the greatest country in the world there is no way she can even come close to ex Senator Joe Biden who not only deserves to be running it should be the other way around Obama should be the V.P and Biden should be running for President on the Democratic side what a sham the election process has become in America McCain is too old and he looks half dead on a stage because he is always stiff looking you have Obama who is a bit young and unexperienced himself to be running and then you have Sarah Palin with this mommy look with no experience but yet the Republicans chose Sarah Palin because she was a woman and has that all American mommy look and the Republicans hope to steel Hillary Clinton votes The American political process has been a big sham it would have been nice to see Hillary and Biden as a Democratic ticket then I can assure you readers the Democrats would have a definite win into the White House

Enio, sticks & stones etc......! If voicing your prejudices and hurling personal abuse on someone, that you've probably never met or had even heard of a couple of months ago, is all that you've got to offer then you've got nothing! Please crawl back into your cot!

Sorry Enio, you obviously aren't aware of some things about Obama. I'd rather not see a President with potentially socialistic tendencies (http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-63886), a questionable birth certificate (http://newswithviews.com/Ryter/jon252.htm), and ties to ACORN (http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NDZiMjkwMDczZWI5ODdjOWYxZTIzZGIyNzEyMjE0ODI=). What executive experience does Obama have compared to Palin? ZERO!

Of course, you'll come across sites to dispute the ones I mentioned above. By the way, Obama is under a judge's order to prove he has a birth certificate showing he was born in the U.S.A. He apparently wants to wait until after the elections to provide his proof. I wonder why...

So, I'm picking a potential tendency by Obama to cover up the truth. Can we trust someone like Obama to be our president. By the way, I'm not crazy about McCain myself with his own issues, but Obama's far outweights McCain's and the mainstream media has done a great job not to question Obama's qualifications. He already had the delegates he needed for the Republican nomination by the time I got a chance to vote in Ohio. If Obama indeed had connections with Bill Ayres, Obama's not even qualified to hold a security clearance! That's bad!

As for McCain's stiffness, he has trouble with his arms because of injuries he sustained coming out of his jet fighter wrong during Vietnam and his treatment as a POW. Obama may be book/issue smart, but his experience compared to McCain's pales in comparison. Obama likes to make a lot of promises, but how could he pay for all he wants anyway especially with the financial mess we're in? From all I've come across, the Democrats played a role in this mess and Obama may have too with his ties to ACORN if anything at this site is correct:

Most likely, the ancestor linking Palin to Roosevelt and the Spenser families is Elder John Strong who came to America in 1630-35 from Chardstock, England to Massachusetts. Elder John had 18 children...so a lot of people in the USA are related these days through his prolific family. If this is so, she is even related to Glenn Close, Brook Shields and even Clint Eastwood as well as JP Morgan and other notables.

This is from another 8th to 10th cousin who is not famous at all!

Dragonhead, I can relate to what you mentioned, but I'd rather have the mainstream media expose whatever is proven regarding Obama's potentially ominous background BEFORE the election. That's all a 'pipe dream' since the MSM's mistakenly/stupidly all for Obama anyway. I never knew what "community organizer" meant until I came across the term's association with Obama and ACORN. If any of what I've come across is indeed true, Obama's gotten away with his charade for far too long.

Obama will then become the most likely black to be assassinated by some nutter

"she is a damn sight smarter than any of you who are lambasting her"

You really should get out more. She is an obvious nut job and if McCain didn't have enough to worry about, she is now a millstone around his neck.

So what Palin has a connection with Princess Diana? Everyone has a connection with everybody else if one went back far enough.

Even Dick Cheney has a connection with Mother Teresa although Mother Teresa would deny it if she were still alive.

She's not related to Michael palin then?

Honestly would you want a nutter like her in the White House with old boy McCain likely to pop his clogs leaving her with her finger on the old red button?

Vive Obama

Obama was born to an American, as was McCain. Since Article 2 of the Constitution says the President must be a Natural Born Citizen without defining the qualifications of "natural born citizenry," should Obama be judged not to meet the requirement, despite being born in Hawaii in 1961 - two years after achieving statehood, then McCain would be unqualified as well, as he was born in the Panama Canal Zone. While the PCZ was US Military base of operations, Panama was not an American Territory, only a protectorate. Hawaii was. If Obama's out, so's McCain.

BTW, since you're mentioning a judge's order about Obama's birth certificate, how about you post a link, or make mention of what judge and court issued the order, because something of that nature would've been all over Rupert Murdoch's newschannels worldwide (Fox, Sky, etc) and its American compatriots (ie. Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Dennis Prager and all the other right wing AM Radio shows).

After Sarah loses the Election and is impeached from the Alaska Governorship for abuse of power she will host a new reality series of Fox Television.

It will be a more right wing version of the Osbourne family show pioneered by MTV.

The Show whose working title is Paling Around With The Palins, will be a unique insight into the life of Upper Middle Class trailer trash.

Expect lots of excitement from watching the Palins and all their kooky adventures.

Episodes Currently Planned included.

Good Witch Hunting

White Man Speaking in Tongues

Baby Triggs First Kill

Down and Out in Anchorage and Juno

Levi goes AWOL

First B@stard

and many more

"The breeding is certainly out of Sarah Palin."
"It is amazing that someone so arrogant as Sarah Palin can be somehow related to such a great man named Franklin Deleano Roosevelt the last great President America has ever seen. Sarah Palin is full of herself with this portrayal of a Hockey Mom character"
"She is an obvious nut job"

"Upper Middle Class trailer trash"

Left-wing extemist hate mob trying and failing to be witty, only revealing racism, hate, bigotry and all those things they always wrongly accuse anyone they don't like of doing. What a classy bunch.

1) FDR was scum - allowed Pearl Harbour to happen, killed American servicemen.
2) Only marxist racist trash uses phrases like "White trash".
3) When was it proven that blonde people are "dumb"? Or is that just dumb, sweepingly prejudiced propaganda hate from left-wing anti-White racists trying to be cute by repeating that for the one millionth time?

This thread shows the high-pitched arrogance of the left-wing hate mob, giddy on unchallenged power, media/political control and an absence of consequences for their obnoxiousness and slanderous abuse.

On the upside, they show very clearly who is consumed by rabid hate and is guilty of racism. They are too stupid to realise how much they have contradicted their own propaganda. They have power, but nobody outside their circle respects them.

"Sarah Palin is clearly the nut that fell fro her family tree."

1) As usual, abusive "wit" with no substantial point.
2) Calling non-leftists "nuts" is a) very USSR (nothing changes) and b) hilarious from the nutjobs who gave us and STILL promote...ahem..."political correctness".

Enough said.
