if we don't allow our victory to be stolen again.

16. I would like him to be the second to next POTUS.
It sure would be great if Nancy Pelosi were sworn in for a short period first.

22. Why? Do you think that Obama would take McCain as a VP or something?
Why would we see McCain if Obama is the "next President of the United States"?

20. it's not who votes that counts . . . it's who counts the votes . . .
and last I checked, the vote counters were, by and large, Republican corporations . . . game, set, and match . . .

ANCESTRY | One of his roots traces back to small village

May 3, 2007
BY BRIAN HUTTON

DUBLIN -- Presidential hopeful Barack Obama's ancestry has been traced back to a shoemaker in a small Irish village, it was reported Wednesday.

Obama's campaign wasn't talking about the revelation, but Chicago Ald. Ed Burke (14th) said he wasn't surprised.

"I could tell from the very first time I saw him -- he's got such a way with words," said Burke, who himself can trace ancestors to counties Clare and Kerry.

Records unearthed in the home of an elderly Irish parishioner who died recently have shed new light on the Illinois senator's ancestry.

A Church of Ireland rector scoured files from the church -- the equivalent of the U.S. Episcopal Church -- dating to the late 1700s. He confirmed that Obama descended from Moneygall, County Offaly.

The village today holds little more than a couple of pubs, shops and a Roman Catholic church.

Canon Stephen Neill, from a nearby town, began delving into Obama's past after a U.S. genealogist told him about the possible connection. "I would be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that this is categorical evidence of Mr. Obama's link to this part of the world," said the rector.

AND he can also proudly say he has a little bit of all these nationalities:

OBAMA'S FAMILY TREE:

His roots spread into so many places, it's hard to keep track. Here's a breakdown of reported links:

•American Indian: Obama said he had a "full-blooded Cherokee" in the family, but a genealogist said he couldn't find proof of that.

•Irish: He's traced to Fulmuth Kearney, who sailed to New York from Ireland in 1850. But where in Ireland? The counties are feuding: One expert says Kearney was from Meath, another Carlow. Now comes the news of ties to County Offaly.

•Kenyan: Obama's father came from the Luo group.

•Pilgrim: One direct ancestor was Edward FitzRandolph, married in Massachusetts in 1637. He was a Pilgrim father from Nottinghamshire, England.

•Scottish: There's even a royal link. Obama is descended from William I of Scotland, who reigned from 1165 to 1214. William was a politically and physically strong king. He charged Henry II's army single-handedly but was captured.

23. For at least 72 hrs, Dick Cheney will be the next POTUS(44). So that
Bush will pardon DC, resign and then Cheney will pardon Bush.
