I know that some people argue that we're all related somehow, i.e. descended from Adam and Eve. However, I still find it amazing in that the article referenced above states Obama is related to George Bush Sr and Jr, Gerald Ford, James Madison, Jimmy Carter, Lyndon Johnson and Harry Truman. What are the odds that somebody would be related to 7 former U.S. Presidents?

I thought it was going to be a discussion of Nancy Pelosi's abuse of office by requisitioning military aircraft to shuttle her kids and grandkids around, at taxpayer expense, to the tune of Millions of Dollars, including over $100,000 for in-flight meals.
