Ah, but were any of them Al Sharpton's ancestors?

Democrat Barack Obama, who would be the first black president if elected, also has white ancestors who owned slaves, according to a genealogical researcher.

The researcher, William Addams Reitwiesner, says the discovery is part of his first draft of research into Obama's roots. Obama's father was from Kenya and his mother was a white woman from Kansas.


Oh please don't tell me that the big issue of the 2008 presidential election is whether or not someone's ancestor's owned slaves! There are far more pertitent issues that need to be adressed!
