Dick Cheney and Barack Obama are Cousins

Lynne Cheney, Dick Cheney’s wife, says that while she was doing some family research she found out that her husband and Barack Obama are eight cousins. She traced their common ancestor to be a 17th century French immigrant. Obama is distantly related to Mareen Duvall, whose son Samuel married the granddaughter of Cheney’s ancestor.
