Default Obama's ancestors owned slaves?.... and?
A news article says that according to research done on Barak Obama's geneology, he has relatives who owned slaves (via his white mother's line).


How in the world could this have anything to do with Barak Obama's fitness to be president? This is dumb, could Obama do anything about his great great great great great grandparents owning slaves?

I am all for accountability but not for things we have no control over.

My question: Do you think this kind of thing matters in determining the fitness of a candidate? Do the actions of one's relatives indicate some sort of genetic flaw? (keep in mind that JFK and Ted share the same parents).

Most importantly, does half of Obama secretly harbor racist thoughts against the other half of himself?

It matters just as much, or as little, as Strom Thurman's ancestors owning Al Sharpton's ancestors. Its politically irrelevant, but its sexy media.

No one should be held accountable for a dead ancestor's actions... I would think this would be one thing everyone would agree on.

I am quite certain that everyone has ancestors who've done distasteful or horrible things. It has little relevance today except as fodder for making small talk at parties.

or when CNN covered the same topic...

I think this is all American presidential politics at its worse. I just read an article that McCain's campaign is floating critisism of Romney's religion.

It's going to be a long two years...

I think Faux News is scared of Obama. I threw a fit when I saw that covered on Faux. As if his three Marlboros a day, middle name, and ancestor's who he has never met owning slaves will have such a negative effect on his ability to run a nation.

so far i like obama, my only concern is what will the rest of the world thank. is the raticals going to press even harder becouse they thank he betrade them?? being presadent isn't just about our country we need to look at how the world would react and the enamies that we are now fighting, there not going to go away anytime soon...

my 2nd question is this a wrong thanking process with the presadent? or are we justified about asking this question?

i don't don't see his ansistors coming into play any polatic that brings this up on any canadate will not get my vote...
